This is history of only European Astronomy and not world Astronomy. No mention of Indian and Egyptian contributions! Worth googling -Sulbha Sutra- and -Surya Siddhanta- which are ancient Indian texts writtens over 2000 years ago giving accurate measurements of earth's circumference, distance from the moon, etc.

I am currently taking a summer semester class of exactly this subject-matter and this playlist has been immensely helpful, aiding in my comprehension of events, philosophers/cosmologists, and their beliefs. I can not talk you guys enough. Can't wait for the 14th video to drop!

If you found the Tycho and Joahannes story interesting, and if you haven't already, I urge you to watch the episode of the originial Cosmos on this topic. Some of these stories deserve a movie or an HBO series or something, I swear.

Good kings know to keep the brightest scientist alive and well at any costs. Tycho was given castles after castles so he would remain under the king, and later Mendeleev was pardoned by the Tsar just so he can keep his labs operating.

Galileo was only banned from writing after he went against an order from the pope to stop publishing books with little 'evidence' as the geocentric model had a lot of evidence at the time and was the accepted model by many scientists.

You missed the most important part: Tycho rejected Copernicus model because it didn't fit the data he measured. Hypothesis rejected by experimental data. Kepler then expanded on the hypothesis and found a model that did fit.

How did CrashCourse skip over how Tycho Brahe died? Dying from a bladder infection from a refusal to leave a banquet because it would have been rude is a. unique way to die. Like so many other parts of his life.

I know it doesn't have anything to do with science stuff, but how can you talk about Tycho without mentioning his pet moose with a penchant for beer? The man got a moose drunk at parties for fun!

A good teacher fills you with knowledge, a great teacher fills you with questions. That said, are they Bingers? If not, can they be?
