re: #250 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

not gonna watch a 15-minute video. Can you give us the summary / moral of story?

Basically Kepler wrote a defense of the Heliocentric system in the form of a story about a dream about a boy. The metaphors he used came across as “magic” to some readers leading to his mother being tried as a witch. The footnotes of the story which he was never able to afford to get published show an understanding of the laws Newton would later be famous for writing. Lots of snide remarks about the people of the time. The end.
