The scientists: Johannes Kepler





Today in our series on the scientists we consider one of the greats in the sphere of Astronomy and mathematics, Johannes Kepler.

Kepler was born on Germany in 1571 during a turbulent period after the Reformation. He was a devout follower of Martin Luther and his faith guided him in all his research and study of heavenly and earthly mysteries.

In fact his greatest work is considered to be
"Mysterium Cosmographican"
in which he introduced the modern theory of relativity.

However, while modern scientists still wrestle with the 'Unified Theory', (The harmonisation of all things) Kepler had it decided that the harmony of all things was in GOD HIMSELF.

To that end he said that God had put a perfect picture of Himself in the heavens:

The sun represented the Father, the star sphere, the Son and the space in between the Holy Spirit.

Naive you say?

Only in the last twenty years are cosmologists admitting that the VISIBLE universe is but a fraction of the INVISIBLE energy and matter that fills the space between the planets.

What they call  "Dark Matter"  Kepler called the Holy Spirit and if those boys who operate Hubble keep on searching they might just find out that he was right!

Jubilate
