I would love to see a video about Silvio Gesell and his economical ideas! It may be hard to put in a single video, but it would be very interesting in todays world of inflation and instability
One thing though: Tycho's story about losing his nose in a duel is rather suspect. There was another reason why someone lost a nose at the time which was far more common called "Syphilis". Tycho was a party animal and prone to.. eh.. enjoying meeting people of the opposite sex including women of let's say lesser virtue but that story is neither very romantic nor makes it picking up other women during parties particularly easy. In short, it was probably syphilis. As for being poisoned, mercury was used in all kind of medication at the time so even if that would have been the source or part of the reason for his death that does not mean he was poisoned, the dude was an aging party animal so he probably had some aches he took medication for, Oh, and mercury was used to "cure" a particular disease (which it did actually lessen the symptoms of) called "syphilis". So it is very unlikely he was poisoned. But Tycho is certainly one of the weirdest and most interesting scientist who ever lived even if he sometimes had a tendency to brag. I visited both his observatory/party palace on Hven and what is left of Brahehus where his family lived.
@nordicpatriot It can happen very fast if you get a trauma to the nose, so technically both things can be true even if that is rather unlikely. The speed you can loose your nose vary a lot and I don't think it is unlikely he was sexually active from somewhere between 14 and 16 years old, the dude was a party animal and rich, it isn't unusual to lose your virginity at that age today either. And I noticed you use the word "often", far from all people with syphilis becomes insane. Tycho was eccentric but he certainly wasn't insane but that doesn't prove anything. He died in his mid 50s so it isn't like he became ancient either. The only evidence of his duel is from himself and we do know of plenty of other people using false noses at the time after syphilis. Yeah, it is not 100% certain, I admit that but it is a pretty likely possibility. It doesn't make the guy less cool though, the man held legendary parties, was one of the best scientists of his time and if someone makes a working time machine, going to one of his party would be high on my bucket list.
Sounds like my grandads story he told us wee lads of how he lost his toe………… he dame face to face with a nazi soldier during ww2 and startled he fell backwards and when the guy shot his toe was hit 😂💦😂💦. We believed that till we were adults. This fella a good yarn spinner like me grandad. 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻😉😉
By the way, can’t they tell by the distribution of mercury in the Hair whether he was given one large dose or a bunch of small doses over period of time??
@nordicpatriot He could have been born with it, many children were, and the nose can degenerate long before any other noticable symptoms appear. The fact that brass noses were common enough - says it was a common problem. Brass noses were among the very first prosthetics, after wooden teeth.
MAKE A MOVIE ABOUT THIS MAN! Your closing statement for this video brought me to tears. You really are a wonderful teacher, Thoughty2. I wish I had teachers like you when I was in school. Thank you for putting these videos together and the effort you put into each one. We really, really appreciate it.
At this point I'm not even reading the title of the video. I just press play, because it's from Thoughty2 and I know it's gonna be great story whatever it is about.
As a physicist, in college I learned about Tycho Brahe's accurate astronomical measurements and how they contributed to Kepler's laws of planetary motion. However, I was never taught about his personal life. More's the pity since his life was so interesting. Thanks for bringing his story to light.
You probably had a lot to learn, so I understand the need to cull information, but it sure was a pity as his life was very interesting. I personally remember more when things are interesting.... cheers.
@@rebeccalynn7795 I was an undergraduate at Virginia Tech, 1978-1983. Tycho Brahe and his accurate astronomical data were mentioned briefly in the first year Introductory Physics course when we learned about Kepler's laws of planetary motion. I remember the section of the course on Kepler's laws because we were assigned a project to write a computer program in FORTRAN to calculate the retrograde motion of Mars. I already knew about Kepler's laws of planetary motion from my high school Physics course in 1978 at Thomas Dale High in Chester, Virginia, but Tycho Brahe was not mentioned in that high school course.
@@titmusspaultpaul5 True, there was a lot to learn, but I agree with you that interesting information is easier to remember. In addition, learning about interesting incidents from scientist's personal lives helps to humanize scientists and dispel the myth that scientists are dispassionate and robotic.
If you (ever) have kids, you will be able to tell the most entertaining bedtime stories. Great job on this one as usual. I will probably never get a reply, but I would be curious to learn the animation program you (and your team, maybe) use.
This was such a good one! I remember learning about Tycho Brahe in high school astronomy class. And the weird thing is I always remembered how he died of a ruptured bladder. Was a pretty odd way to go. Love your astronomy videos!
As always fantastic work. Your videos are simply brilliant. I'm a Dane myself and are quite the Tycho fan, so I didn't learn anything new, but it was still very well done. If you are a Dane or can understand Danish, I can recommend the Danish podcast "Vanvittig Verdenshistorie" (Insane World History). Their episode about Tycho is spectacular. It is by far the best Danish podcast. Every story those boys touch, turn into gold. Their best works are pretty much anything they've done, but some stories worth highligthing, is about Walt Disney, Houdini, Coco Chanel, Robert Peary, Dominique-Jean Larrey and the big Poison Murder case in France under The Sun Kings rule, the biggest murder spree by nobles and court case in history besides the Nuremberg trials.
As I'm Swedish I learned about Tycho Brahe in school. Not all the interesting details about his personal life though. Perhaps the teacher thought we were to young to handle those facts. There's also days named after him. According to legend he was given the task of pointing out the most unlucky days of the year. T. Brahe concluded that there's 32 such days in Denmark but 33 in Sweden. You shouldn't move houses, change your workplace or get married on those days. Preferable not being born either. The worst of these Tycho Brahe days is January 11.
Yas! Thank you for doing a video on Tycho, ever since I read a bibliography of him during university for a physics class I fell in love with his story, he is easy my favorite historical figure❤
Really fascinating. I'd not known of Tycho Brahe, and had no idea that Tycho crater on the moon was named after him. These early geniuses are always intriguing. We're fortunate when one appears among the wealthy, who then has an opportunity to expand their mental gifts. It's amazing how he spotted astronomical table inaccuracies when no one had before. I wonder if he had better equipment than when the tables had been first created?
he did have massive cross staffs moved by multiple people, to measure star altitude and probably better compasses than his predecessors for azimuth measurements
Hey Thougthy2, Could you please make a video regarding the „Georgist Theory“ ? It’s a really interesting take on how we could tackle the housing crisis and has an interesting history.
interesting change of titles, i never would have clicked without mentioning Brahe's name in the title xD I've always loved his story and talked him up on my tours in Prague. funny how similar your narration is to how I told the story. great one, mate!
Never woken up with a dead moose in my living room but, lost 3 days due to alcohol induced blackout. Learned a big lesson there. Been Sober 20+ years now.
fun fact: here in Czechia every child knows Tycho because we all learn about Rudolf II at school. im pretty sure Tycho is by far the most important scientist Rudolf has ever hired.
I have actually been to D Hven / S Ven, where there is a museum in TB's honour in a derelict church next to the ruins of his big observatory Uranianborg and an underground display at his first observatory Stjerneborg. ("Starborg"). There is a small ferry that (amongst others) sail up to Hven from Copenhagen in c. 2 hours - it's a very beautiful trip up the Øresund (-sound) with Sweden on your right and Denmark on your left side.
Thanks for the episode! I like the Star Trek little door noise for the changing pages after 5:25. I actually did know about Tycho Brahe. Never heard about the moose but did know about the "death by politeness" from a tour guide in Sweden or Denmark. I think the Chinese and possibly Arabs had record of Novae before Brahe's. -For an unrelated story you might want to read "Takedown: The Pursuit and Capture of Kevin Mitnick by the Man Who Did It"- Ahh, you did that one. I must have missed it!
WOW - That was worth waiting an extra day for!! Bloody brilliant. I wondered if todays was going to be an historical biography, and as usual he never fails to make anything interesting. I learnt a lot today, and I havent got out of bed yet!
Astronomy was my favorite class in college and I studied Tyco Brahe and associate him to Cassiopia whenever I hear about Cassiopia just because of him observing the supernova.
I always enjoy watching your videos before bed, If ever you decide to do a 'Sleep stories' series or even a lengthy podcast thatd be just as effective, ill be all over it :)
The 9:22 time stamp in the vid of the Island (thanks for using the pic Thoughty) is really called Inish Galoon or Keel Island by Achill Island County Mayo in Ireland where I live...wow, imagine my surprise seeing my home whilst learning about a mad, genius Danish guy? Love your content Thoughty.
The couple pages on Kepler and Brahe in the book Coming of Age in the Milky Way are unbelievable. You've added more detail on Brahe. Excellent video. As to Kepler, his mother was burned to death, accused of being a witch. Kepler described his wife as, "fat of body and slow of mind."
Tycho was pronounced Tücko - as if it were in German (at least that's closer than Teeko. Danish is, according to numerous linguistic sources, apparently one of the hardest languages to learn and pronounce properly). And sorry, the whole murder thing belongs to the tin-foil hat brigade. It's been proven that as you initially stated,he did die of complications (probably sepsis or some other massive infection) a burst bladder because he didn't want to leave the table. It was one of the reasons why the (small p) puritan Kepler, who genuinely admired his intellect because Brahe was a genius, would often row with him. Though Kepler often wrote how they would soon be reconciled and that he loved him (purely platonic before someone starts shipping them 🤦🏻♀️). If you want the sciency stuff about the debunking of the murder "theory" (it's really out of conspiracy theory land), go to Cool Hard Logic and his awesome series World of Batshit. That's a series where he debunks all sorts of crazy, mainly from the flat earth brigade, with science and a great deal of humour.
Kepler probably did not murder Tycho. But he almost certainly did steal Tycho collection of observation data he had collected over the years. Tycho's precious data was bequeathed to his heirs. Kepler was NOT Tycho's protege. He was only an assistant and collaborator. He was with Tycho for barely a year before Brahe died. Everybody accepts that those data were critical and essential to Kepler's subsequent work. How did he come into possession of those data? He took it when his employer died and he took up a new position as imperial mathematician/astrologer.
Thanks very much buddy, Ive purchased RUclips prime to get away from ads and here you are pluging companys which i don't care about.... Thanks Thoughty2
I'm Swedish and I can honestly say that Tycho Brahe's death (your pronunciation is actually great!) created a phobia for me 😅 I used to have to get up and go to the bathroom several times a night out of fear of my bladder bursting! 😞🫣 Even though I _knew_ there couldn't possibly be a threat to my life, I couldn't stop thinking about it and I also couldn't go back to sleep if I didn't get up and go to the bathroom every time... 😩 This went on for years and years!
Well, if you get BPH and don't ever go to the doc, it can happen. Probably a relatively common way to die for middle aged men back then. I don't think it is possible to hold in the urine indefinitely as the myth goes, it's way more likely he had a condition like BPH or something else like that. If any of it is true, which we do not know.
There's a distillery at Hven now. Spirit of Hven. One of the products is named Tycho's Star. Quite good. I liked it. They make several different kinds of Whisky, vodka, and gin.
Honestly, I've awoken to a dead moose in my kitchen before. It's not as rare as you might think in Canada.. not exactly common, but moose will crash through windows and sometimes the glass does them in.

There's a distillery at Hven now.
Spirit of Hven. One of the products is named Tycho's Star.

They make several different kinds of Whisky, vodka, and gin.

Nice one, very interesting.....as always.
Landskrona born and raised. Never did i thought to hear thoughty talk about Tycho Brahe and Landskrona xD
Blimey… I had the ‘chip book of fascinating facts’ when I was little. The Tycho story about the sword and the snoz was one of my favourite facts!!!!
