weak constitution, from his premature birth, Johannes is one of the greatest figures of genius. Possessor of a brilliant intelligence, from a truly fragile body overcame physical weakness through extraordinary energy. Was short-sighted and suffered from monocular poliopía, which made him perceive multiple images. Access was often feverish, stomach and gall bladder problems, skin ...
dog face ... He was certainly unattractive ...
His lifestyle did not promote their health, because it failed to maintain any order, was repelled by water and a strange penchant for sour and spicy food.
There were two events that marked his childhood and guided him to his post-time: a comet that crossed the sky when she was six years and a lunar eclipse after three years. Both celestial phenomena left an indelible mark on his impressive intellect.
Religious sentiment was expressed very early in his distress sought the help of Almighty God, who orders and solve everything, that it embraces everything in its power to whom he was subordinate. The time he lived was marked by political and religious: Reform and counter ... The feelings of anxiety and tears always seemed to accompany him, but managed to overcome all adversities that were presented. He remained true to himself and managed to see accomplished the lofty goals he had set. It was a time fraught with misery in which Johannes sought refuge in the stars.
suspicious and fearful of personality, I hated the conversation, looked sullen and in many cases, lashed out with a stinging sarcasm willing to hurt someone who dared approach him. Hence, people are out of his way. In his youth he referred to himself as a craven spirit. Although subsequently to reach maturity, began to show a more free and safe.
He was forced to move to Prague-open city, which had a very beneficial, it helped to broaden their youthful spirit. At this stage of his life there were those who sought his company, attracted by its openness and its newly released human qualities as kindness and warm welcome, which together with the purity of his convictions and the wealth of knowledge, did this peculiar man an excellent conversationalist. Johannes
was desperately looking for harmony in all that watched and studied, but much to their concerns and emotions are thought to this idea, lacked a harmonious and balanced nature. He had a restless soul, which fluctuated between excitement and depression. At one point in his life, Johannes vital task was imposed following the trend Copernican " I considered my duty and my mission to defend with all the force of my mind the doctrine of Copernicus, which I recognized as true in me and whose beauty fills me with an amazing to contemplate rapture. " Johannes
The Sun was still in the absolute center of the world, but in rotation. The translation movement was beyond his imagination, why not consider an infinite space. Like the Greeks sought perfection in the restrained and orderly finitude.
enunciated three laws based on the foundation of the Copernican theory, but considering the orbits of the planets elliptical and not circular: " In one focus is placed the Sun, which lies a driving force that sends its rays as light, is the source of the movement. As the Sun rotates, it drags the planets around with these rays of force. The effect of this force increases with decreasing the distance the planets are the Sun, causing a faster at perihelion than at aphelion of the orbit, so that the radius vector sweeps equal areas in equal times ".
In this exquisite composition Johannes reveals the Creator's hand, giving the harmonic proportions that are represented in the geometry and form the basis for music. So he said: " celestial melody floods the world."
The sight of this vision elevated him above all earthly ills, which gave him peace and comfort: " I wanted to be a theologian, but now I realize, through my efforts, that God can be held also in astronomy. "
Using the laws of planetary motion was able to successfully predict Traffic Venus in the year 1631, and although he did not see his theory confirmed.
In his old age, Johannes Kepler, said the effect of the moon on the tides, which earned him the nickname of "senile." His laws shocked the world and revealed as the best astronomer of his time. But he never stopped thinking about a certain failure of his insight into the simplicity of Nature: "Why ellipses, having a circle?". It took three centuries for his intuition saw confirmed in the Theory of Einstein's general relativity, where a four-dimensional geometry for space-time, bodies Celestial follow straight lines. And there was still a simple figure that the circle ... The line!
Kepler, astronomer, mathematician and physicist, genius recognized and admired, both for his personality as for his work, he wrote the epitaph on his tomb reads: "Mehdi heaven, and now the shadows I measure. In the sky shone the spirit, the earth rests body. "
Sketches of interest.
Johannes Kepler (1571 - 1630).
noted also for his contribution in the fields of optics and mathematics. Formulated the Basic Law Photometry. Found the total reflection. Made the first modern theory of vision, claiming that the rays on the retina are very small and inverted image.
Infinitesimal also developed a system that provided the basis for the calculus of Leibnitz and Newton.
