+Mr. Beat thanks. When is our collaboration? Did I miss any painting, sculptors or buildings during my American art series that we could work on together?
Kepler’s Platonic solid model was debunked by Kepler himself. He made the model and then tried to reconcile it with the measurements collected by Brahe. Those measurements led him to posit elliptical orbits, to his great disgust. If anything Kepler shows what intellectual honesty looks like
How is this model of the solar system wrong exactly? Mercury has a 1000 year procession elliptical orbit. If you do the calculations, this model still works.
@@2mcna2 This model of the solar system claimed that the orbits of planets were close to perfect circles (they're not. He later proved that they're ellipses), and that those circles were defined by the Platonic solids, around which perfect circles can be drawn. This hypothesis is based on the assumption that 1. God is a mathematician (which... ok maybe), and 2. There are only six planets with one of the five solids placed between each (which... no. There are more planets and the distance between the planets has no relationship with Platonic solids.)
@@AmorSciendi I appreciate the response. The platonic solid model is not 100 percent exact (if observed from a certain point of view within a short amount of time), however, it is very interesting how precise our solar system is.
What if the elliptical orbits were actually a decomposition of a previous state of circular perfection brought on by the events in the Garden of Eden. Ill have to dig around and see if there is any mention of this by Kepler. @@AmorSciendi
"I-SOCK-ahedron"??? Lady, learn how to pronounce Icosahedron. Seriously, us girls already have a tough time being taken seriously in mathematics. You're not helping.
Awesome video James! Thank you so much for suggesting this brilliant idea :)
I'd say he was ahead of his time. Great job :)

Always love the amazing content. Keep it up consistently and your channel will grow like wildfire!
you had me hooked at "mysertium cosmographicum". I wish I was allowed to name my research papers that cooly.
+kickasschemist I'd love to see how a journal would respond today to such a broad and whimsical title
Wow ; can you tell us where can we purchase a Kepler’s MODEL : mysterium Cosmographicus
Love this presentation….thank you
Very interesting, thank you.
+grghndy you're welcome

Great video Mr. Earle !!!!!!

The orbits aren't based on platonic solids
@@AmorSciendi please explain further
