Sorry I have to correct an error here: the moon's inhabitants can not think the earth revolves around the moon, because the earth would seem as if it was fixed in the same spot on the sky. Kepler, of course, was well aware of this: "For them, then, Volva stands in the sky as if fixed by a nail, and above it the other stars and the sun pass from east to west." (Dream, p131)
Not nailed to a point, but rocking back and forth as the Moon went through it's libration. Since the orbit is elliptical, at times it would move faster or slower than the expected "nailed" average. As Earth sees slightly more than 50% of the Moons surface as it seems to rock back and forth, so the Earth would seem to move back and forth over a limited portion of the Moon viewers sky. Those on the edge, would see Earth rise and set on the horizon over the month. What mystical or scientific reason would the inhabitants give for this motion? Those directly under Earth could maybe lie to themselves that it didn't move, but for those on the edges it would be a simple truth.
@@helloim3j You might have to travel some distance to see the earth since it can only be seen from one half of the moon, it's this bluish green ball that rotates around its own axis. It's the closest object to you so it should appear quite large in the sky, close enough to recognise details on it. You can't miss it.
It's depressing that he lost so much in the pursuit of truth. At least we don't have fanatical people who'd condemn others on baseless accusations anymore.. right?
Weil der Stadt in Germany as well, since Kepler was born there. It's actually a meme in the area, because Weil der Stadt says literally nothing else about itself other than being the birth city of Kepler. So when anyone mentions Weil der Stadt, people interrupt and jokingly ask whether they knew Kepler was born there 😅
That's interesting, I was just reading about Ferdinand 2-graz. Holy Roman empire from 1619-38. More specific it was Giovanni Valintini I was looking up. He wrote secondo libro de madrigali in 1616 the same year has Kepler. Ferdinand tried to make Europe more Roman catholic and failed which made it ruff for Catholics until around 1703. Also did you know that picture of earth is called earthrise and was taken on December 24, 1964 by one of the Apollo 8 asturants. If you ever watch the moon lands you'll see that it's the same picture being used. Peace and agap'e
Well, he was employed as mathematician for 15 years in Linz. Before that he was in Prague, and before that he was mathematics teacher in Graz. So you will find a bridge, street and school named after Keppler in Graz too.
Many people here watch this and believe they are so open minded, but chances are that you are as close minded on other aspects. We are humans and no one is perfect and all knowing.
No, but we usually accept that. The problem is when people become religious, and don't accept that they don't know, so they invent their own "explanations". That is where things go horroibly wrong.
What a great story told in a wonderful way. Thanks so much for this video - the illustrations, the planetarium lights, the lovely storytelling was just so pleasant. Definitely one of my many favorites of yours!! “The universe is made up of stories not atoms” - that’s one I’ll definitely remember forever.
You have got good voice to tell stories. Traps people to contemplate them, inciting heated discussions. There is nothing worse than sweeping uncomfortable truths under the rug. I would speculate Kepler was autistic, as it is very common among autistic these days to present observed facts, that do not align with what they are being told, in a form of a story, or poem, etc. (I do it too), often incorporating personal facts. It is immensely hard work to imagine every detail, and using personal facts allows to focus on a greater picture, the overall message.
the dude spent six years of his life dedicated to defending his mother against accusations of witchcraft and she was arrested in the middle of the night. she was tortured and imprisoned for 14 months. please tell me this is a joke lmao.
Well, no, the pressures and penalties tended to be more severe, more physical, occasionally more fatal, than getting canceled. On the other hand, you had to do a lot more to offend dominant values before the mechanisms got triggered. Even the infamous inquisition released more people than it convicted and spent more time trying to stamp out witchcraft mania than prosecuting witches. The Catholics didn't officially believe in witches. Protestants especially Germans and Scots seemed to take witches altogether more seriously but even then the numbers weren't huge. Still, harsher penalties than cancellation.

A tragic story wonderfully told! I’d love to see you do a series on other situations where scientists were reviled for going against “settled” science. Two great examples would be the history of continental drift and more recently of prions as disease-causing agents.
We don't seem to have any less close minded people today than we did before. There are many people who know the truth but refuse to believe because they do not like it. It is a depressing world we live in. In a way it has made me selfish. Getting angry and depressed at the state of the world is not going to bring any kind of happiness. I cannot change people who do not want to open there minds.

I would totally enjoy listening to this young lady recite the New York phone directory. She has the sweetest, most comforting voice on TH-cam. Literally, music to my ears.
I'm just glad we now live in a world where superstition, ignorance and hearsay have given way to a more enlightened understanding of science. No, wait... Never mind.
Sam Harris argues that we used God as an early theory in our pursuit of understanding science and the natural world. But I think we use science and technology as a means of pursuing God. I mean, it's neat that I can fit 500 video games in the palm of my hand now, but isn't the meaning of life a little deeper than that? Why would we search for tiny particles of matter if we didn't think they objectively meant something?
@@theboombody Because it's in our nature to ask why. You can want to know how you came to be without pursuing God. I do think Harris is correct. The way I see it, God is just a construct, something made by people that did not really understand the world around them. And we always seek an explanation for things, but when we cannot find one, then we have to attribute it to something, or someone. Life has inhenretnly no "meaning" but the one you give it. All things live so they can continue to live and try their best to ensure the future generations will too. At its core, that is what life is. There isn't meaning to it, it is like asking why is a rock a rock? Because it happens to be a rock, because of all the events that led to it begin a rock, by chance. There is no deeper meaning to it. Meaning is a human construct. We are just lucky
@@flavorlessquark8614 Your first part about seeking explanations I agree with. Your second part about everything happening by chance without inherent meaning I couldn't disagree with more.
Wow this is an amazing video. I am a big fan of your channel. I love how you explain things in a soft, storytelling way so even hard things become easy. I am 13 years old and have interest in astronomy and science so this story was really fascinating. I am also learning physics with my dad. I love your videos so much. You are so creative I love the bob ross style maths a lot 😊It really is crazy how people were so close minded that they punished these brilliant scientists for speaking their mind. Your videos are amazing, keep up the great work! 👏👏💖
How this dude figure out that square of a quantity divided by cube of another quantity is a constant with those erroneous, noisy observations of the past is just beyond my wildest imaginations, totally a nerd! Respect!
There is a feeling for which there is no word: When you know something that cannot be said because whoever listens to it will not be able to understand it, or what is worse, they do not care. Separate comment, your voice relaxes me so much that it seemed like a lullaby. Thank you very much for this moment.
Like when I say, there is only one race, the human race, there is only one home Earth. Or when I say the creation is the creator. It has always been and will always be, it doesn't need a creator. All opinion of course, but do I catch a lot of flack for that.
Also, you have a wonderful combination of a good story telling voice and the intelligence to put the stories about science together so that the stories are like a good bedtime story....for nerds😷.
To be fair it was a different time and people weren't as educated as most are today. Only today it's the opposite and the ones with the loudest voices might have gone to school but aren't really educated.
We as a civilisation are only one meteoroid strike or Carrington Event away from reverting to the level of education and understanding of Copernicus's time. The last 18 months has demonstrated that. Think of this: today we control the lightning - but in 50 years time our descendants could be quivering in fear, hiding under their beds during thunderstorms.
If you watch episode 3 of Cosmos "The Harmony of the Worlds" the one with Carl Sagan, they did an excellent part about Kepler! I won't give away the end scene but It always makes my eyes water. Thanks for this Tibees! Your work is much appreciated! 😃
Wow, what a great video! I have a PhD in physics and I did not know about this book! I am adding it to my list immediately! Thank you for introducing me!
Interesting story 👍 for some reason it reminded me of the difficulties that Marcelino de Sautuola faced when he published his discovery of the Altamira cave, but it wasn't illiterate people who made his life difficult, it was mainstream scientists!
so was galileo(house arrested),nikola tesla(died poor,death still a mystery),leibnitz(not given credit for his contribution to calculus,rival to newton who was then president of the royal society of sciences),ludwig boltzman(commited suicide),john nash(became mentally impaired in mid 30s),nikolai lobachevsky(not credited for his work on non euclidean geometry)and many more.every brilliant idea starts and ends with sacrifice
I feel so sad abou this story, since I was small I was amazed at how "magical thinking" is accepted and encouraged and so are those ideas created backwards in order to stroke one's ego or justify a pre existing fear.
I think my friend's wife was one of the accusers of Kepler's mother. Once she was upset for him for a week, because: "he cheated on her" ...in her own dream 🙃
I've never seen another creator read things that are super interesting and also help fight insomnia. You could make it on TH-cam reciting the phone book, so I did something I never do, listened through the whole ad though I already have audible. Thank you for teaching us things instead.
"300 years later, we would use Kepler's Laws to calculate a trajectory to the moon and land there, allowing Kepler's Dream to come true." Except that there are people who still believe that they faked it.
it is understandable that people believe is fake after high ranking members of the NASA said that they no longer have the technology to go back. And after saying that they overwrite the films with other things because they lack founding to buy more films. That is very suspicious at least.
On this same topic I would also recommend watching episode 3 of is what is arguably the greatest science documentary of all time, Carl Sagan’s “Cosmos: A Personal Voyage”.

Excellent video. Your content is really well done. Thanks for sharing!
I recently subscribed and have now become hooked. Listening is by far the best so called ASMR that is so popular online. What is best about Tibees is she talks about fascinating subjects I've been interested in for so long. Thank you for such great videos.
Sadly, people are worse now. Different names for things and different methods of punishment, but the same group-think closed mindedness. I say worse, because the internet makes it is easy for anyone to find 'facts' to back up whatever their view is on anything. People will start curious about something, get some wrong information and then believe they now understand it. It is then very difficult for many to be dislodged from that belief when someone presents them with an alternate (correct maybe?) view. I've lost count of the things I was told when young by well meaning people that turned out to be incorrect. I take everything with a grain of salt now. You also have to keep a special watch on people claiming to 'know' about things that can't be fully understood at this time. Speculation about such things can be fun and interesting, but it is only speculation.
Indeed, must have been awful for him and his mother. Still, when I read the title, I thought you'd had some horrible encounter in real life, glad to hear it was just a bit of history!
I think its pretty obvious what is happening here. She's very pretty. She is young, blonde and speaks in a soft very feminine voice, almost a whisper. The same exact material, delivered by an overweight middle aged woman would not have this popularity among men, and she would never be called an "excellent science communicator." She would be given little to no compliments and wouldn't be supported. She would likely have less than 1000 subscribers.
7:02 i don't think from the perspective of the moon, the earth rotates around the moon, because as stated immediately after, the moon is locked in a position where only one hemisphere faces the earth. so from the moon's perspective, the earth is just rotating about it's own axis right above the subvolva. unless believe that the earth rotates the moon with the same angular velocity as the moon rotates about it's own axis.
I speak to geniuses every day ,they don't talk back like there afraid,or just to good to talk to me, because they won't admit they're wrong, about something, will fight you. No help there,others have gag orders, and will lie to you, and now they're trying to prove false religion, Im sick of it.

You might have to travel some distance to see the earth since it can only be seen from one half of the moon, it's this bluish green ball that rotates around its own axis.

I would totally enjoy listening to this young lady recite the New York phone directory. She has the sweetest, most comforting voice on TH-cam. Literally, music to my ears.
"I'm right, everyone is wrong.. (yells) LALALALA..."
What do you mean?
@@thearchive26788 I'm mocking the close-minded & ignorant "geniuses"
I'm just glad we now live in a world where superstition, ignorance and hearsay have given way to a more enlightened understanding of science. No, wait... Never mind.
Sam Harris argues that we used God as an early theory in our pursuit of understanding science and the natural world. But I think we use science and technology as a means of pursuing God. I mean, it's neat that I can fit 500 video games in the palm of my hand now, but isn't the meaning of life a little deeper than that? Why would we search for tiny particles of matter if we didn't think they objectively meant something?
@@theboombody Because it's in our nature to ask why. You can want to know how you came to be without pursuing God. I do think Harris is correct. The way I see it, God is just a construct, something made by people that did not really understand the world around them. And we always seek an explanation for things, but when we cannot find one, then we have to attribute it to something, or someone.
Life has inhenretnly no "meaning" but the one you give it. All things live so they can continue to live and try their best to ensure the future generations will too. At its core, that is what life is. There isn't meaning to it, it is like asking why is a rock a rock? Because it happens to be a rock, because of all the events that led to it begin a rock, by chance. There is no deeper meaning to it. Meaning is a human construct. We are just lucky
@@flavorlessquark8614 Your first part about seeking explanations I agree with. Your second part about everything happening by chance without inherent meaning I couldn't disagree with more.
Wow this is an amazing video. I am a big fan of your channel. I love how you explain things in a soft, storytelling way so even hard things become easy. I am 13 years old and have interest in astronomy and science so this story was really fascinating. I am also learning physics with my dad. I love your videos so much. You are so creative I love the bob ross style maths a lot 😊It really is crazy how people were so close minded that they punished these brilliant scientists for speaking their mind. Your videos are amazing, keep up the great work! 👏👏💖
you are my favourite unintentional asmr artist
Thank you so much for this story about Keppler. You tell your stories in such a nice, calm way.
How this dude figure out that square of a quantity divided by cube of another quantity is a constant with those erroneous, noisy observations of the past is just beyond my wildest imaginations, totally a nerd! Respect!
The church's power is threatened by facts. All religion is FAITH based.
Amazing episode ! What a heartbreaking end for a brilliant mind ...
There is a feeling for which there is no word: When you know something that cannot be said because whoever listens to it will not be able to understand it, or what is worse, they do not care. Separate comment, your voice relaxes me so much that it seemed like a lullaby. Thank you very much for this moment.
Like when I say, there is only one race, the human race, there is only one home Earth. Or when I say the creation is the creator. It has always been and will always be, it doesn't need a creator. All opinion of course, but do I catch a lot of flack for that.
Also, you have a wonderful combination of a good story telling voice and the intelligence to put the stories about science together so that the stories are like a good bedtime story....for nerds😷.
Your emoji has been quadruple vaxxed, let the little dude breath already! lol
It's so nice the way you share your knowledge! Thank you! From the other side of the world!
To be fair it was a different time and people weren't as educated as most are today.
Only today it's the opposite and the ones with the loudest voices might have gone to school but aren't really educated.
We as a civilisation are only one meteoroid strike or Carrington Event away from reverting to the level of education and understanding of Copernicus's time. The last 18 months has demonstrated that.
Think of this: today we control the lightning - but in 50 years time our descendants could be quivering in fear, hiding under their beds during thunderstorms.
be open-minded to the value of close-mindedness.
It’s so heartbreaking how he and his family were treated while we study Kepler’s laws now!
So sweet, I could listen you tell to you tell the story all day because your voice is soft and captivating. 👍
If you watch episode 3 of Cosmos "The Harmony of the Worlds" the one with Carl Sagan, they did an excellent part about Kepler! I won't give away the end scene but It always makes my eyes water. Thanks for this Tibees! Your work is much appreciated! 😃
I have never heard this story. Thank you for making me smarter than I was yesterday. Good job.
Wow, what a great video! I have a PhD in physics and I did not know about this book! I am adding it to my list immediately! Thank you for introducing me!
You have a lovely soft spoken voice
Interesting story 👍 for some reason it reminded me of the difficulties that Marcelino de Sautuola faced when he published his discovery of the Altamira cave, but it wasn't illiterate people who made his life difficult, it was mainstream scientists!
Same with Alfred Wegener when he figured out how geology works and that plate tectonics is actually a thing.
Wonderful retelling of a tragic and inspiring true story. Thanks.
Insightful, plus, your voice is so calming and beautiful. I could listen to you for hours.
Your voice is amazing and very soothing. I'd listen to you talk about anything at all but I do enjoy the content you share!
Amazing storytelling!
so was galileo(house arrested),nikola tesla(died poor,death still a mystery),leibnitz(not given credit for his contribution to calculus,rival to newton who was then president of the royal society of sciences),ludwig boltzman(commited suicide),john nash(became mentally impaired in mid 30s),nikolai lobachevsky(not credited for his work on non euclidean geometry)and many more.every brilliant idea starts and ends with sacrifice
What an excellent presentation of the history of this story. Thank you for an enjoyable and informative video.
One of the best channels on TH-cam.
Thank you!
Amazing story.
Well told, thank you!
One thing I've learned as a gay, mixed race man living in a rural canadian town.... nothing has changed, the people are still ignorant villagers.
I feel so sad abou this story, since I was small I was amazed at how "magical thinking" is accepted and encouraged and so are those ideas created backwards in order to stroke one's ego or justify a pre existing fear.
YEP! "Magical thinking" still exists today! I'll begin with "homeopathy" for one. MANY more...
I think it's mostly fear. I know someone who knows that it's magic but is afraid because of "karma" or being punished.
You seem such a sweet woman with a kind heart. I hope you get to teach thousands of children. You seem so perfect for it.
Thank you and keep rockin.
I am now convinced that Kepler is my spirit animal
What a great and sad story. Centuries after a book is written the authors vision finally comes to fruition.
I think my friend's wife was one of the accusers of Kepler's mother.
Once she was upset for him for a week, because: "he cheated on her" ...in her own dream 🙃
Your voice is so soft and nice I fell asleep and had to back track to finish watching the video. :) These closed-minded people are sadly still around.
The name Kepler was, of course, well known to me, but I had no idea of this story. Thank you for telling it so well.
I've never seen another creator read things that are super interesting and also help fight insomnia. You could make it on TH-cam reciting the phone book, so I did something I never do, listened through the whole ad though I already have audible. Thank you for teaching us things instead.
"300 years later, we would use Kepler's Laws to calculate a trajectory to the moon and land there, allowing Kepler's Dream to come true."
Except that there are people who still believe that they faked it.
As long as there are humans there will be sceptics
@@telwood15 and septics
it is understandable that people believe is fake after high ranking members of the NASA said that they no longer have the technology to go back. And after saying that they overwrite the films with other things because they lack founding to buy more films. That is very suspicious at least.
I love her voice, her British accent... It is so relaxing, just like an ASMR... And on top of that there are the interesting subjects...
On this same topic I would also recommend watching episode 3 of is what is arguably the greatest science documentary of all time, Carl Sagan’s “Cosmos: A Personal Voyage”.
Excellent video. Your content is really well done. Thanks for sharing!
Fascinating story, keep making these videos, really interesting.
Every video in this channel is so unique and enriching!! 😌
Absolutely Love Your Incredible Presentations, Wish You Would Post More ~
You Are A True Treasure~
Your channel is a true gem
Living in Singapore, this is about the first time I've made it within 20 minutes of a tibees video release
Tis a moment of pride
Now we finally understand why people called him a "Lunatic".
Here in Peru it is 2 am but nothing prevents me from enjoying this
Sleep!
Here in Brazil is 6:21.
If/when we go back to the moon, I think it a proper tribute to Kepler to leave behind a copy of “The Dream”.
This is in the 3rd episode of Cosmos by Carl Sagan. The Somnium , the dream , was the name of what he wrote. Really well told Tibees.
I recently subscribed and have now become hooked. Listening is by far the best so called ASMR that is so popular online. What is best about Tibees is she talks about fascinating subjects I've been interested in for so long. Thank you for such great videos.
Sadly, people are worse now. Different names for things and different methods of punishment, but the same group-think closed mindedness. I say worse, because the internet makes it is easy for anyone to find 'facts' to back up whatever their view is on anything. People will start curious about something, get some wrong information and then believe they now understand it. It is then very difficult for many to be dislodged from that belief when someone presents them with an alternate (correct maybe?) view. I've lost count of the things I was told when young by well meaning people that turned out to be incorrect. I take everything with a grain of salt now. You also have to keep a special watch on people claiming to 'know' about things that can't be fully understood at this time. Speculation about such things can be fun and interesting, but it is only speculation.
Sometimes I don't know what Tibees is talking about, but her voice is always so relaxing.
Indeed, must have been awful for him and his mother. Still, when I read the title, I thought you'd had some horrible encounter in real life, glad to hear it was just a bit of history!
You are an excellent science communicator. You, young lady, can make a difference in so many peoples lives.
I think its pretty obvious what is happening here. She's very pretty. She is young, blonde and speaks in a soft very feminine voice, almost a whisper. The same exact material, delivered by an overweight middle aged woman would not have this popularity among men, and she would never be called an "excellent science communicator." She would be given little to no compliments and wouldn't be supported. She would likely have less than 1000 subscribers.
@@mygirldarby I consider Neil Tyson an excellent science communicator. So I think it's pretty obvious where your narrow mind is.
7:02 i don't think from the perspective of the moon, the earth rotates around the moon, because as stated immediately after, the moon is locked in a position where only one hemisphere faces the earth. so from the moon's perspective, the earth is just rotating about it's own axis right above the subvolva. unless believe that the earth rotates the moon with the same angular velocity as the moon rotates about it's own axis.
Exactly! The selenites (hehehe) would just see the stars, and the sun, moving in the sky, one revolution per month.
this story made my day.
Amazing content. Amazing narrative.
Do not open your mind so much, your brain may fall out.
The notebook with drawings reminds me of Blue's Clues, and anything that reminds me of Blue's Clues is an automatic thumbs up.
Superb!
Fascinating story. I had no idea or forgot completely about it. Very informative excerpts. Thank you.
Wow, What a beautiful and sad story. Im left wondering if his mom was able to avoid being punished for _witchcraft._ I'll look it up. Cheers.
I found your channel recently. You are the epitome of beauty with brain..Keep it up.
thought one - religions should not get involved with science.
thought two - I would sign up to audible if Tibees was narrating.
I speak to geniuses every day ,they don't talk back like there afraid,or just to good to talk to me, because they won't admit they're wrong, about something, will fight you.
No help there,others have gag orders, and will lie to you, and now they're trying to prove false religion, Im sick of it.
