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.

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

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.

@@flexairz Actually it wasn't the middle ages anymore, but they were acting on the even more ancient Aristotelian model of the universe, which was the "settled science" of the day. It's what the Church interpreted scripture through and what the academics at the time accepted. That's one piece of the puzzle that's often left out. Interestingly enough most (if not all) of the founders of various scientific disciplines were themselves devout Christians. Science and Christianity aren't enemies. There's a reason why the scientific revolution took deepest root in the Christian west. Also, its fiction to think the middle ages were solely superstitious and regressive times. A lot of advancements took place. Funny....in our own time we're told "the science is settled" on many things and aren't allowed to ask questions because it disrupts the narrative. My how history repeats itself. Only this time it's the secular church of woke.

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?

@flavorlessquark8614 2 жыл бұрын

@@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.

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”.

"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.

It’s so heartbreaking how he and his family were treated while we study Kepler’s laws now!

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.

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 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.

@rickkwitkoski1976 2 жыл бұрын

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.

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.

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 🙃
