We clearly can consider the great Kepler, one of the founding fathers of modern science who formulated the first mathematical laws of nature, seeing himself in the tradition of Plato and Pythagoras 😎 ... from his first attempt to explain the universe, Mysterium Cosmographicum...

Some light holiday reading thank you @physicamaxima.bsky.social 🌌

And even more interesting is to compare how ancient Greek's logic is applied by people of 2024, making the same philosophical & logical mistakes that Greeks did while having access to more that considers reality & truths. It's an illustration of misinformation propagating in the contemporary world.

I love to read articles like this and try to imagine the logic-of-the-day applied at a time when so much of science was veiled to the natural philosophers. You can see the Greeks' minds, trying to pull out of the nature they know what explains the world.

I love the last line of the first paragraph. If philosophy is the heart of existence & physics is the brain of existence, then the 2 can never exist without the other in order to have ANY existence. Following you back!
