Johannes Kepler changed forever our understanding of the universe with his three laws of planetary motion. He demolished the ancient model of planets moving in circular orbits astronomer end journey prophet scientific time and laid the foundation for the universal law of gravitation, setting physics on the course of revelation it follows to this day. Kepler was one of the greatest astronomers of all time. Yet if it hadn`t been for the now lesser-known Tycho Brahe, the man for whom Kepler apprenticed, Kepler would be a mere footnote in today`s science books. Brahe was the Imperial Mathematician at the court of the Holy Roman Emperor in Prague astronomer end journey prophet scientific time and the most famous astronomer of his era. He was one of the first great systematic empirical scientists astronomer end journey prophet scientific time and one of the earliest founders of the modern scientific method. His forty years of planetary observations an unparalleled treasure of empirical data contained the key to Kepler`s historic breakthrough. But those observations would become available to Kepler only after Brahe`s death.
