¿Qué tienen en común la ciencia ficción, la religión y la política contemporánea? En este episodio me siento a conversar con Santiago Martínez Cartier, columnista del medio @somosmatear , autor del libro Picnic Sideral y creador del newsletter del mismo nombre, para abrir una puerta al costado esotérico de nuestras ideas más racionales. Hablamos de autores como Johannes Kepler, Mary Shelley, Philip K. Dick, Kurt Vonnegut, Roger Zelazny y Margaret Atwood, pero también de política actual, espiritualidad y los hilos invisibles que conectan los mundos imaginados con las estructuras de poder reales. ¿Puede un texto de ciencia ficción leerse como una profecía? ¿Hay algo místico en los relatos que organizan nuestras vidas?Desde la alta divulgación cósmica de Picnic Sideral hasta los rituales ocultos en la vida cotidiana, este episodio es una invitación a pensar con el corazón encendido y la mente abierta.

Mark O'Connell returns to Casual Space to discuss one of the most extraordinary scientific collaborations in human history: the 1957 International Geophysical Year. With his signature wit and storytelling style, Mark takes us on the journey behind his NEW book, The Year Science Changed Everything, revealing how 6,000 scientists from 66 nations put aside political differences to study Earth's greatest mysteries—from the depths of the ocean to the edge of space. Beth and Mark explore the ripple effects of this global effort, including the formation of the Antarctic Treaty, the surprising roots of the Artemis Accords, and what IGY can teach us about tackling today's climate crisis. You'll hear how a Steely Dan song sparked Mark's decades-long curiosity, how scientific rivalries shaped history, and yes—even how a penguin nap could put you in violation of an international agreement. It's part history lesson, part love letter to science, and all kinds of fun. You'll also get a behind-the-scenes look at Mark's next creative project: a comedy script about astronomers Johannes Kepler and Tycho Brahe—think Amadeus meets Knives Out, with a golden nose and planetary motion thrown in.     About Mark O'Connell Mark O'Connell is the author of The Year Science Changed Everything: 1957's International Geophysical Year and the Future of Our Planet, published by Prometheus Books. He also wrote The Close Encounters Man, a biography of astronomer and UFO researcher J. Allen Hynek. In addition to writing books, Mark is a seasoned screenwriter with credits on Star Trek: The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine, and he teaches screenwriting at DePaul University in Chicago.

La existencia de Marte como un objeto errante en el cielo nocturno fue registrada por antiguos astrónomos egipcios. En el segundo milenio a. C. estaban familiarizados con el aparente movimiento retrógrado del planeta, que parece moverse en dirección opuesta a través del cielo. En el período del Imperio neobabilónico, los astrónomos realizaban observaciones sistemáticas de las posiciones y el comportamiento de los planetas. Sabían que Marte realiza 37 períodos sinódicos, o 42 circuitos del zodíaco cada 79 años. Los babilonios inventaron métodos aritméticos para realizar pequeñas correcciones a las posiciones predichas de los planetas. Los registros chinos sobre las apariciones y movimientos de Marte aparecieron antes de la fundación de la dinastía Zhou (1045 a. C.). Durante la dinastía Qin (221 a. C.) los astrónomos mantuvieron registros cercanos de las conjunciones planetarias, incluidas las de Marte. Las ocultaciones de Marte por Venus se observaron en los años 368, 375 y 405.​ El período y el movimiento de la órbita del planeta fue conocido en detalle durante la dinastía Tang (618 a. C.). La temprana astronomía de la Antigua Grecia fue influenciada por el conocimiento transmitido de la cultura mesopotámica. Los babilonios asociaron a Marte con Nergal, su dios de la guerra, y los griegos conectaron al planeta con su dios de la guerra, Ares. Los griegos usaron la palabra planēton para referirse a los siete cuerpos celestes que se movían con respecto a las estrellas de fondo y tenían una visión geocéntrica del firmamento, es decir, consideraban que estos cuerpos se movían alrededor de la Tierra. Aristóteles, estudioso de Platón, observó una ocultación de Marte por la Luna en 365 a. C. De esta observación concluyó que Marte está más alejado de la Tierra que la Luna. En el Egipto romano durante el siglo II d. C., Claudio Ptolomeo trató de abordar el problema del movimiento orbital de Marte. Las observaciones de Marte habían mostrado que el planeta parecía moverse un 40% más rápido en un lado de su órbita que en el otro. Esto entraba en conflicto con el modelo aristotélico del movimiento uniforme. Ptolomeo modificó el modelo del movimiento planetario añadiendo un punto desplazado desde el centro de la órbita circular del planeta alrededor del cual el planeta se mueve a una velocidad uniforme de rotación. Propuso que el orden de los planetas, al aumentar la distancia, era: la Luna, Mercurio, Venus, Sol, Marte, Júpiter, Saturno y las estrellas fijas.​ El modelo de Ptolomeo se convirtió en el tratado autoritario sobre la astronomía occidental durante los catorce siglos siguientes. En 1543, Nicolás Copérnico publicó un modelo heliocéntrico en su obra De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium. Este enfoque colocó a la Tierra en una órbita alrededor del Sol entre las órbitas circulares de Venus y Marte. Su modelo explicó con éxito por qué los planetas Marte, Júpiter y Saturno estaban en el lado opuesto del cielo desde el Sol cuando estaban en medio de sus movimientos retrógrados. Copérnico fue capaz de ordenar a los planetas en su orden heliocéntrico de forma correcta basado únicamente en el período de sus órbitas alrededor del Sol. El 13 de octubre de 1590, el astrónomo alemán Michael Maestlin observó una ocultación de Marte por Venus.​ Uno de sus alumnos, Johannes Kepler, rápidamente se convirtió en un seguidor del sistema copernicano. Tras la finalización de su educación, Kepler se convirtió en asistente del noble y astrónomo danés Tycho Brahe. Al no conseguir encajar el movimiento de Marte en una órbita circular como requería Copérnico, Kepler logró equiparar las observaciones de Tycho asumiendo que la órbita era una elipse y el Sol estaba localizado en uno de los focos. Su modelo se convirtió en la base de las leyes de Kepler del movimiento planetario, publicadas en su trabajo Epitome Astronomiae Copernicanae entre 1615 y 1621. Marte es demasiado pequeño para poder verlo a simple vista.​ Galileo Galilei fue la primera persona que utilizó un telescopio para realizar observaciones astronómicas y comenzó a observar Marte en septiembre de 1610.​ Este instrumento era demasiado primitivo para mostrar cualquier detalle superficial en el planeta,​ por lo que se fijó el objetivo de ver si Marte exhibía fases de oscuridad parcial similar a Venus o la Luna. La primera persona en dibujar un mapa de Marte que mostraba características del terreno fue el astrónomo holandés Christiaan Huygens. El 28 de noviembre de 1659 hizo una ilustración de Marte que mostró la región oscura distinta, conocida ahora como Syrtis Major, y posiblemente una de las capas polares.​ El mismo año logró medir el período de rotación del planeta, calculando aproximadamente 24 horas.​ Hizo una estimación aproximada del diámetro de Marte, suponiendo que es aproximadamente el 60% del tamaño de la Tierra, lo cual se acerca al valor moderno del 53%. El italiano Giovanni Cassini fue probablemente el primero en mencionar la capa polar sur de Marte, en 1666. En ese mismo año, utilizó observaciones de las marcas de superficie en Marte para determinar un período de rotación de 24 horas 40 minutos. Esto difiere del valor actualmente aceptado en menos de tres minutos. En 1672, Huygens observó un casquillo blanco borroso en el polo norte. El astrónomo británico de origen alemán Sir William Herschel comenzó a hacer observaciones del planeta Marte en 1777. En 1781, estimó el período de rotación de Marte en 24 horas 39 minutos y 21,67 segundos y midió la inclinación axial de los polos en 28,5°.

In Folge 130 sind wir in Regensburg. Wir haben das Kepler-Museum besucht, mit Daniel Meßner über Geschichte geplaudert und uns überlegt, ob Kepler seine berühmten Gesetze auch entdeckt hätte, wenn er auf einem Planeten in einem Mehrfachsternsystem gelebt hätte.

On this episode of ID the Future from the archive, Andrew McDiarmid talks with science historian Michael Keas about pioneering mathematical astronomer Johannes Kepler, based on Keas's book Unbelievable: 7 Myths About the History and Future of Science and Religion. Kepler studied theology before turning to math and science, and it was his belief in God that guided his extraordinary discoveries. Kepler is one of several great scientists of early modern science whose convictions about God's nature inspired their groundbreaking investigations. Source

Warum bewegen sich die Planeten um die Sonne? Dieser Frage gehen Eva und Elka in dieser Folge nach und werfen einen Blick zurück in die Anfänge der modernen Astronomie. Vor 400 Jahren fragte sich Johannes Kepler, warum das Sonnensystem so aufgebaut ist, wie es ist, und suchte nach einer kosmischen Ordnung und nach Harmonie. Mit seinem Werk legte er den Grundstein für Isaac Newton, der mit der Entdeckung des Gravitationsgesetzes zeigen konnte, dass es Naturgesetze gibt, die sowohl auf der Erde als auch im Universum gelten. Die Bedeutung dieser Entdeckungen zeigt sich auch heute noch, wenn wir die Bahnen von Exoplaneten berechnen und Weltraumteleskope an den Lagrange-Punkten im All positionieren.

Enoch, The First Witness: The First Four Days of Tribulation (End Time Witnesses, Enoch and Elijah Book 1)Enoch is book 1 of 6, which chronicles the Time of Sorrows, The Tribulation. Unlike other series of books similar in nature, this story recreates what today's world could expect from God's final two Witnesses. It explores Lucifer and the Fallen 200's viewpoint, their story, and retribution.These six books are based on Daniel, Revelation, Matthew, coupled with the Book of Enoch.The Fallen 200 angels (who became demons) were bound by Enoch around 3250 BC for 70 generations. Their release would be around 1600 AD. This period of our history is the beginning of humanity exiting from the dark ages. This is the time when the King James Bible was released, Jamestown was founded in America, Galileo appeared, Johannes Kepler, the inquisition to stop science, to name a few. The world was changing. This series explores the possibility that these Fallen 200 influenced the enhancements in science, world expansion, technology, and philosophy.For four hundred years since the 200's release, Lucifer and his followers have prepared for the day the first Witness arrives. They are ready to come out from the shadows and take over our world.Today is that day.

Marty Leeds (Gnostic Academy) and Steven Young (Hedflux) have something in common: they're both fascinated and inspired by the 16th-17th century Alchemist, Robert Fludd. In this episode, we explore the natural philosophy, musical cosmology, and metaphysics and divine sciences of one of history's greatest minds. Some topics include the infinite and indivisible God, Jesus: the light of the mind, Fludd's beef with Johannes Kepler, and the History of the Macrocosm. In the Plus+ Extension we discuss action-at-a-distance healing and the intriguing "weapon salve," how and why "like affects like," Fludd the Kabbalist, defensive esoteric writing and the Devil, the Esoteric Christ, the Sun and the Mind, and the possibilities of a physical Philosopher's Stone, and much more.

Das Deutsche Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt betreibt in Empfingen südlich von Stuttgart ein beeindruckendes Observatorium. Es wird zur Detektion und Analyse von Weltraumrückständen verwendet. Dabei kommen sowohl passive als auch aktive Verfahren zum Einsatz. Ich sprach am Observatorium mit Wolfgang Riede vom DLR-Institut für Technische Physik über das Observatorium, seine Geschichte, seine Nutzung und Pläne für die Zukunft. Diese Episode ist Teil der Episodenreihe zum Projekt ION.

Napisano na ten temat mnóstwo książek, nakręcono wiele filmów. Wiemy, że już starożytni Grecy spoglądali w gwiazdy i zastanawiali się, czy gdzieś są inne światy takie jak nasz. W XVII wieku Galileusz opisał góry na Księżycu takim językiem, jakim opisuje się fizyczność Ziemi, a Johannes Kepler wyobrażał, jak mogą wyglądać mieszkańcy Księżyca biorąc pod uwagę jego ekstremalne warunki (wg. Keplera, księżycowe istoty musiały być ogromne). Długo wierzono też w istnienie sztucznie przekopanych kanałów ma Marsie, rysowano ich mapy.Marzymy o życiu na innych planetach i zastanawiamy się, czy istnieje życie na którejś poza naszą. – Ja myślę, że życie jest powszechne – mówi prof. Ewa Szuszkiewicz z Instytutu Fizyki Uniwersytetu Szczecińskiego, współzałożycielka i koordynatorka Ogólnopolskiego Centrum Zaawansowanych Badań w Zakresie Astrobiologii i Dziedzin Pokrewnych CASA* oraz przewodnicząca Sekcji Astrobiologii i Medycyny Kosmicznej w Komitecie Badań Kosmicznych i Satelitarnych PAN.Pierwszym obiektem zainteresowania naukowców był naturalnie najbliższy nam Księżyc. Znamy go już na tyle dobrze, że jesteśmy pewni: życia tam nie ma. Więcej znaków zapytania jest przy Marsie. Na jego powierzchni nie znaleziono śladów życia, ale wiadomo, że dawniej był podobny do Ziemi, miał oceany i atmosferę. Ostatnie misje wykryły na Marsie fluktuacje metanu, który może pochodzić od istot żywych, ale może też powstawać w wyniku procesów geologicznych. Do odkrycia jest jeszcze dużo, więc wciąż wysyłamy nowe misje. – Po pierwsze możemy znaleźć ślady dawnego życia, a po drugie może w dalszym ciągu istnieć życie, ale pod powierzchnią – opowiada prof. Szuszkiewicz. Wielkim przełomem może być planowana na 2028 rok misja MSR (Mars sample-return), która ma sprowadzić na Ziemię próbki powierzchni Marsa.Uwagę astrobiologów przykuwają też lodowe księżyce gazowych olbrzymów. Jesteśmy niemal pewni, że pod lodem na Europie, Ganimedesie i Kallisto – księżycach Jowisza – ukrywają się oceany. Może więc tam? Mikroorganizmy bezpiecznie ukryte pod warstwą lodu? Śledźcie misję JUICE Europejskiej Agencji Kosmicznej!Z kolei bezzałogowa sonda Cassini-Huygens (NASA, ESA, ASI) zbadała atmosferę Tytana, lodowego księżyca Saturna. Okazało się, że jego atmosfera jest podobna do Ziemi, składa się głównie z azotu. Na Tytanie występują też morza, jeziora i rzeki, choć nie płynie w nich woda, a ciekłe węglowodory, głównie metan. Brzmi ekstremalnie? – Znamy bardzo dużo mikroorganizmów tutaj na Ziemi, które żyją w ekstremalnych warunkach – wskazuje prof. Szuszkiewicz.Co z życiem poza Układem Słonecznym? Jeśli jest, to prawdopodobieństwo, że się z nim zetkniemy, jest niewielkie. Łatwo się minąć w tym ogromie. Nie znaczy to, że się poddajemy. Szykowana przez ESA misja Ariel ma stworzyć katalog atmosfer planet pozasłonecznych. Potrzebujemy więcej danych: jakie atmosfery są we Wszechświecie najczęstsze, jakie występują bliżej swoich słońc, a jakie dalej, jakie przy gwiazdach w wieku naszego Słońca, a jakie przy innych. Uzbrojeni w te statystyki, będziemy lepiej wiedzieli, gdzie szukać.W odcinku usłyszycie też, dlaczego astrobiologów interesuje Wenus, choć padają na niej deszcze z kwasu siarkowego, po co polscy naukowcy wyślą na orbitę drożdże i dlaczego raczej nie warto wiązać nadziei z życiem opartym na krzemie. To fascynujący odcinek, słucha się go jak baśni, a to wszystko badania i nauka, kochani!Odcinek powstał podczas XIV. podróży Radia Naukowego, tym razem zawitaliśmy do Szczecina.Artykuł m. in. dr Janusza Pętkowskiego wspominany pod koniec odcinka: https://arxiv.org/abs/2401.07296

Nous sommes en 1543, à Nuremberg. C'est cette année-là qu'est publié, plus de dix ans après sa conception, l'ouvrage « Des Révolutions des sphères célestes » du chanoine Nicolas Copernic. Dans cet ouvrage, l'astronome polonais écarte la Terre du centre du monde. A sa place, il met le Soleil . Voici l'acte fondateur d'une révolution scientifique qui va mettre un siècle à s'imposer. D'autres scientifiques, des philosophes, vont évaluer, comparer, critiquer la thèse de Copernic : Tycho Brahe, Johannes Kepler, Galilée … bravant les autorités religieuses : Giordano Bruno finira sur le bûcher de l'Inquisition. On ne remet pas impunément la place de l'humain dans l'univers, on ne doute pas du rôle tout puissant du créateur. Bien plus tard, au début du XXe siècle, Freud évoquera la « blessure copernicienne ». Dans son « Introduction à la psychanalyse », en 1917, il écrit : « Dans le cours des siècles, la science a infligé à l'égoïsme naïf de l'humanité deux graves démentis. La première fois, ce fut lorsqu'elle a montré que la Terre, loin d'être le centre de l'univers, ne forme qu'une parcelle insignifiante du système cosmique dont nous pouvons à peine nous représenter la grandeur. Cette première démonstration se rattache pour nous au nom de Copernic, bien que la science alexandrine ait déjà annoncé quelque chose de semblable. » Plongeons-nous dans la querelle de l'héliocentrisme, celle de la science et de la religion … Avec nous : Benoît BEYER de RYKE : historien et philosophe, collaborateur scientifique à l'ULB. Sujets traités : Nicolas Copernic, héliocentrisme, révolutions, sphères, célestes, astronomie, Terre, Soleil, Tycho Brahe, Johannes Kepler, Galilée Merci pour votre écoute Un Jour dans l'Histoire, c'est également en direct tous les jours de la semaine de 13h15 à 14h30 sur www.rtbf.be/lapremiere Retrouvez tous les épisodes d'Un Jour dans l'Histoire sur notre plateforme Auvio.be :https://auvio.rtbf.be/emission/5936 Intéressés par l'histoire ?

The afikra podcast is back with a new season hosted by Mikey Muhanna. We kick off with an episode in partnership with Fujifilm and Gulf Photo Plus with Iranian academic, philosophical author, and artist Nadia Maftouni, who delves into the groundbreaking contributions of Ibn al-Haytham to modern science. Known as the father of modern optics, Ibn al-Haytham's extensive work on camera obscura, empirical science, and mathematics laid the foundation for future scientific advancements. Maftouni explores his methodology, significant works like the "Book of Optics," and how his concepts influenced later scholars such as German astronomer and mathematician Johannes Kepler. Additionally, Maftouni sheds light on Ibn al-Haytham's time under house arrest and his enduring impact on science and philosophy.00:00 Introduction01:34 Historical Background of Camera Obscura03:16 Ibn al-Haytham's Contributions to Optics04:50 Ibn al-Haytham's Methodology and Scientific Approach06:49 Ibn al-Haytham's Influence on Later Scientists07:51 House Arrest and Major Works12:07 Philosophical Views and Scientific Method16:19 Transmission of Knowledge to Europe17:45 Ibn al-Haytham's Legacy and Influence31:44 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsNadia Maftouni is an Iranian academic, philosopher, author, and artist.

Johannes Kepler (1571-1630), astrónomo y matemático alemán, revolucionó la astronomía con sus leyes del movimiento planetario, que describen las órbitas elípticas de los planetas. Trabajó con Tycho Brahe, defendió el modelo heliocéntrico y enfrentó dificultades personales y religiosas. Su legado impulsó la física de Newton y la ciencia moderna.

Hey, please share this podcast with your friends, family and neighbours or even write a review :). You can contact me on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/slowgermanwithculture/) or write a mail to learngermanwithculture@web.de . Transkript: Hallo und herzlich willkommen zur heutigen Episode. Wie geht es Dir? Ich hoffe Dir geht es gut. Magst Du die Halloweenzeit? Feierst du das Halloweenfest? Gehst du vielleicht auf eine Halloweenfeier? Hast Du Dir eine Verkleidung überlegt? Oder vielleicht gehst du mit deinen Kindern durch die Straßen, um Süßigkeiten zu bekommen? In der heutigen Episode sprechen wir mal wieder über ein Thema aus der Geschichte. Und es ist passend zur Halloween-Zeit auch ein gruseliges Thema. Wir sprechen über die Zeit der Hexenverfolgungen in Europa. Die Hexenverfolgungen in Europa fanden hauptsächlich zwischen 1500 und 1750 statt. In dieser Zeit glaubten viele Menschen, dass es Hexen gab, die mit dem Teufel zusammenarbeiteten. Die Menschen glaubten, dass die Hexen böse Magie benutzten, um Schaden zu verursachen. Aber warum glaubten die Menschen damals an Hexen? Es gab damals besonders viele und starke Krisen. Zum Beispiel gab es in dem Zeitraum damals die sogenannte Kleine Eiszeit. Das heißt, das Klima in Europa war damals kälter als normalerweise. Daher war es schwerer Essen anzubauen und viele Menschen litten Hunger. Eine andere Krise waren Seuchen. Vor allem die Pest sorgte damals für große Probleme in Europa und tötete sehr viele Menschen. Und letztlich gab es noch schwere Kriege, die zu viel Leid bei den Menschen führten. Viele Menschen suchten Erklärungen für das Leid. Damals gab es aber noch nicht so gute Wissenschaft wie heute. Und auch die Kirchen mit ihrer Religion konnten so viel Leid nur schwer erklären. So kam es, dass man Schuldige für das Leid suchte. Die Schuldigen waren nun also die Hexen, die mit ihrer bösen Magie die Krisen verursachten. Viele Vorstellungen, die es heute in der Fantasy von Hexen gibt, stammen aus dieser Zeit. Zum Beispiel, dass sie auf Gegenständen wie Besen durch die Luft reiten können. Menschen, die der Hexerei verdächtigt wurden, mussten vor Gericht. Dort wurden sie oft gefoltert, um ein Geständnis zu erzwingen. Wenn sie „gestanden“, wurden sie oft hingerichtet, meistens durch Verbrennen. Es gab verschiedene Anzeichen, die als Beweis für Hexerei galten, zum Beispiel bestimmte Muttermale, seltsames Verhalten oder die Nutzung von Kräutern. Viele unschuldige Menschen, vor allem Frauen, aber auch Männer, wurden wegen Hexerei angeklagt und getötet. Besonders bekannt sind die Hexenverfolgungen in Deutschland, Frankreich und England. In einigen Regionen wurden Tausende von Menschen angeklagt und hingerichtet. Insgesamt wurden in Europa damals ca. 50.000 Menschen aufgrund der Hexenverfolgungen getötet. Eine Frau, die in Deutschland angeklagt wurde, war Katharina Kepler. Sie wurde beschuldigt eine Hexe zu sein. Katharina Kepler hatte aber einen klugen und bekannten Sohn. Der Sohn von Katharina Kepler war Johannes Kepler. Johannes Kepler war ein berühmter Astronom und Mathematiker, der sehr wichtige wissenschaftliche Entdeckungen machte. Zum Beispiel entdeckte er Gesetze, die bestätigen, dass sich die Planeten um die Sonne bewegen. Johannes Kepler schaffte es nach großen Bemühungen, dass seine Mutter Katharina nicht als Hexe verurteilt wurde. Das Ganze ist ziemlich verrückt. Aber es ist typisch für die Zeit, dass Wissenschaft und der Glaube an Magie nebeneinander existierten.

Em 1611, Johannes Kepler apontou que organizar laranjas como os feirantes fazem hoje em dia —em arranjos hexagonais e camadas sobrepostas— era a melhor forma de aproveitar o espaço disponível. O astrônomo e matemático alemão, no entanto, não conseguiu provar essa conjectura na época e o problema só foi de fato resolvido em 2017, mais de 400 anos depois. Tanto tempo para tão pouco, muitas pessoas podem pensar. Afinal, que diferença isso faz? Em "Histórias da Matemática: da Contagem nos Dedos à Inteligência Artificial" (Tinta-da-China Brasil), Marcelo Viana mostra que até as pesquisas mais teóricas podem dar origem a novas tecnologias, mesmo que, em alguns casos, isso demore vários séculos. O pesquisador escreve que o problema do empacotamento de esferas (o exemplo das laranjas) ajuda hoje a detectar e corrigir erros de transmissão de informações e que pesquisas sobre números primos foram fundamentais para desenvolver a criptografia moderna, além de lembrar os desdobramentos na astronomia e na física, por exemplo, viabilizados pela matemática. Não que a utilidade imediata deva ser o único critério da ciência, diz Viana, diretor-geral do Impa (Instituto de Matemática Pura e Aplicada), no Rio de Janeiro, um dos mais renomados centros de investigação matemática do mundo, mas pesquisadores não devem perder de vista as consequências concretas dos seus estudos. "Histórias da Matemática" reúne, em edição revista e atualizada, colunas publicadas na Folha, onde Viana escreve desde 2017.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this ID the Future out of the vault, host Andrew McDiarmid sits down with historian and philosopher of science Michael Keas to discuss a recent article at Times Higher Education, “My Precious! How Academia's Gollums Guard Their Research Fields.” The article looks at how scientific progress is being impeded by a culture in which scientists jealously guard their research instead of sharing it. Keas says the problem seems to have gotten worse in recent years but isn't a new one. He illustrates with the story of Tycho Brahe and Johannes Kepler. Source

Sunday, 28 July 2024   “And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.” Matthew 1:21   “And she will bring forth a son, and you will call His name JESUS. For He will save His people from their sins” (CG).   Joseph was just told that Mary had conceived by the Holy Spirit. The messenger continues, saying, “And she will bring forth a Son.”   The words not only demonstrate the presence of God in the process, but more, they also reveal the directive hand of God. The Child will not merely be opening Mary's womb, but the Lord is directing what type of child will be born, a Son. Understanding that, it next says, “and you will call His name JESUS.”   The words of this verse are similar to what was said to Mary –   “And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name Jesus.” Luke 1:31   Mary was told this, and even if she then told it to Joseph, it is still right that the messenger would repeat it to him now. His words confirm the words of Mary, or they establish the matter for Joseph if she had not yet told him. Either way, he is informed what will come to pass concerning the Child, and he is told what the Child's name will be.   This is not a unique event in Scripture. The names of Isaac and Ishmael were given before they were born. Josiah's name was prophesied before he was born. Also, the name of Cyrus, King of Persia, was stated in a prophecy before he was born. In the New Testament, John the Baptist had his name designated before he was born.   Though the name of Samson was not given before he was born, details concerning him were described. Such events as this show that God is in control of the redemptive narrative, and He intervenes at key points to continue having history unfold according to a set plan.   The name Jesus in Hebrew is Yeshua. It is a shortened form of Yehoshua, Joshua. Whereas Yehoshua means The Lord is Salvation, Yeshua means Salvation, or He Will Save, coming from the verb yasha, to deliver or save. Joshua anticipated the coming of Christ through his name.   In the coming of Christ, the type is fulfilled: the Lord, Yehovah, is Salvation. Therefore, the messenger provides the reason for the selection of the name, saying, “For He will save His people from their sins.”   Thus, as happens so often in Scripture, a pun is formed, “You shall call His name Salvation, for He will save His people from their sins.”   The implication of the messenger's word is that Christ has a group of people that will be saved. It is also implied that some will not be saved because they are “not His people.” What is also explicit is that people have sin from which they must be saved. Without this process, they remain in a state of condemnation. Jesus has come to correct this in His people.   Life application: It is not uncommon for people to argue over the name of Jesus. Some argue that His name is originally a different Hebrew name than Yeshua, deriving their opinion from one Old Testament passage or another. However, it is most commonly accepted that His name is either Yehoshua or Yeshua.   As He is the Lord, Yehovah, in human flesh, it makes less sense to call him The Lord is Salvation (Yehoshua). Rather, He is the Lord who is Salvation (Yeshua). However, fighting over this is not necessary.   Another way people argue over Jesus' name is to insist that we should use the Hebrew name only because that is His “real” name. As Jesus isn't the way a Hebrew would speak, it is somehow bad to them that we would say “Jesus.”   This dismisses the fact that the vast majority of people don't pronounce any biblical name as it actually is. Some are so far from the Hebrew that when the Hebrew is heard, we don't even know who is being referred to. To say we must pronounce Jesus' Hebrew name would necessitate that we do so with all biblical names. It is unreasonable to hold to this view.   Languages were developed by God. They continue to change as time passes. As they do, we accommodate to the general use of names within a language. The name Yeshua is transliterated into the Greek as Iésous (ee ay soos). If God wanted us to say Yeshua today, He wouldn't have had the New Testament given to us in Greek.   From Iésous, the English language developed through the Germanic languages. Iésous eventually became Jesus (Yesous). Germans don't have the hard J (think of Johannes Kepler). The name then moved to the English people as Jesus with a hard J. Within English, this same name is actually pronounced quite differently depending on where you are. If you go to a southern church in the U.S., it sounds like Jayzuz. And so forth.   There are YT videos that give the name of Jesus in many languages throughout the world. Different people groups will pronounce the name differently. But in the end, our Jesus is the Christ of the nations as well as the Messiah of Israel. However you pronounce His name, do it with respect. He is our Lord. He is our JESUS.   Lord God, we stand in awe of what You have done. You have come to us in the Person of Jesus our Savior. May You be eternally praised for Your goodness to the sons of Adam for redeeming us unto Yourself. All hail the name of Jesus. Amen.

In Folge 107 warten wir auf das Erscheinen eines neuen Sterns! Obwohl T Coronae Borealis eigentlich gar nicht neu ist. Er ist nur aktuell sehr dunkel, sollte aber im Herbst extrem hell werden, so dass es so aussieht, als würde er plötzlich am Himmel auftauchen. Warum er das tut und wie man das beobachten kann, erfahrt ihr in dieser Folge. Außerdem gibt es Johannes Kepler in Regensburg und Postkarten von Evi aus der Welt der Science Fiction. Sie verrät uns allerdings nicht, wo sie sich aufhält - das ist euer Job und wenn ihr den erledigt, könnt ihr was gewinnen! Und wer bis zum endgültigen Ende hört, erlebt vielleicht eine Überraschung.

Join us for Episode 190 of our Apologetics Series as we delve into the timeless debate: Has science disproved the existence of God? In this episode, we confront the assertions of prominent figures like evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins, who claim that science has invalidated the concept of God. But is that truly the case? We examine compelling arguments from both sides of the aisle, challenging the notion that belief in God is incompatible with intelligence. Through historical insights and scientific evidence, we unravel the narrative that pits faith against reason. Discover the perspectives of legendary scientists like Johannes Kepler, Isaac Newton, and Albert Einstein, who found harmony between their faith and their scientific pursuits. We explore the profound insights of thinkers like William Lane Craig and Hugh Ross, who offer compelling reasons to believe in a Creator. From the macroscopic wonders of the universe to the microscopic intricacies of life, we uncover evidence that points unmistakably to a Designer. Yet, we also confront the biases inherent in the evolutionary worldview, as revealed by the very scientists who champion it. Join us as we navigate the intersection of science and faith, challenging assumptions and seeking truth in the ongoing dialogue between Science and God.

Zum ersten Mal werten Wissenschaftler weltweit gemeinsam und erfolgreich Messdaten des Himmelsereignisses aus und prägen damit internationale Wissenschaftskooperation. Von Wolfgang Burgmer.

Are the stars, planets, and the galaxies in the night sky just a swirling mass of chaos? Or a divine dance of beauty, harmony, and order? And does being a Christian help or hinder our quest to understand the universe—and our place in it?   Find out how studying Johannes Kepler's revolutionary approach to classical astronomy helps us answer these questions, in this friendly guide to the world of Classical Christian education.   Presented by TrinityU, a service of Trinity Classical Academy in Santa Clarita, CA.

On entend souvent dire que Galilée, né à Pise en 1564, a découvert que la Terre tournait autour du Soleil. En fait, il fut un fervent défenseur de cette thèse, appelée "héliocentrisme", au point d'avoir subi les foudres de l'Église catholique, qui lui a intenté un célèbre procès.Mais ce n'est pas Galilée qui s'est aperçu que la Terre n'était pas au centre de l'univers et que les autres planètes ne tournaient pas autour d'elle.Le premier à avoir dénoncé cette théorie, baptisée "géocentrisme", est un astronome polonais, Nicolas Copernic. Vers 1510, en effet, il précise les bases de son nouveau système, qui lui permet d'expliquer bien plus clairement le mouvement des astres.Galilée ne fut pas même le premier à défendre les idées de Copernic. En effet, l'astronome allemand Johannes Kepler, né en 1571, y adhère avant lui et améliore même le système de Copernic.En effet, Kepler précise que les planètes tournent autour du Soleil selon une orbite, non pas circulaire, mais elliptique. Ce que l'on appelle aujourd'hui les "lois de Kepler" décrivent justement les mouvements des planètes autour du Soleil.On lui doit d'autres travaux d'une grande importance, dont ceux qui ont permis à Newton d'élaborer sa théorie de la gravitation universelle.Mais aucun de ces savants n'a vraiment démontré, de manière expérimentale, que les planètes, et donc la Terre, tournaient autour du Soleil. Galilée, Copernic et Kepler fondent en effet leur conviction sur des calculs qui leur paraissent établir la vérité.Le premier à avoir apporté la preuve de l'héliocentrisme est l'astronome britannique James Bradley, né en 1693. Ses observations lui permettent en effet de découvrir, en 1727, le phénomène de l'"aberration de la lumière".Celui-ci met en évidence le déplacement apparent des étoiles, ce qui ne peut s'expliquer que par la rotation de la Terre autour du Soleil. L'héliocentrisme, découvert par Copernic et défendu par Kepler et Galilée, venait enfin de recevoir un fondement expérimental. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

A listener recently asked how to respond to the accusation that Christians are not free thinkers. One way is to go over the list of novelists, artists, scientists, and philosophers from the last two millennia and see how many of them were Christians or worked from a broadly Christian framework.   Consider also how much art over the past 20 centuries can be called “sacred.” Read Augustine of Hippo or Jonathan Edwards and see if they qualify as free thinkers. Learn about the lives of scientists like Johannes Kepler, Isaac Newton, Galileo and others. And then look up how much science advanced before Christian civilization.  Christians believe the world is knowable and that, made in God's image, we are knowers. There is no thinking without that basis. And then you need to be clear about the word “free.” Historically, that meant the freedom to do whatever he or she wanted to do. Those people rarely made the world better. 

November marks the death of Johannes Kepler, one of the most important figures of the Scientific Revolution and a scientist who was motivated by his Christian beliefs. The significance of Kepler's work can only be understood in light of what he faced and risked. The settled science of his day was that the Earth stood at the center of the universe. To challenge that meant to challenge the entire, accepted understanding of physics.   When Copernicus published On the Revolution of the Heavenly Spheres in 1543, he argued that the universe was centered on the sun rather than Earth. His motivation was to preserve the idea that planets traveled at a constant velocity in perfect circles. In other words, his motivation was more philosophical and aesthetic than it was scientific. Few scientists accepted these ideas that contradicted settled science. As a result, there were only a handful of committed Copernicans prior to 1600. Johannes Kepler was one of them.   Kepler was a devout Lutheran who planned to become a pastor. However, he excelled at mathematics and had an interest in astronomy. In seminary at the University of Tubingen, he became convinced by Copernicus and defended him on both scientific and theological grounds. After graduating in 1594, he took up teaching mathematics at the Protestant school at Graz (now the University of Graz) in Austria.  While in Graz, Kepler began to develop a theory about the number of planets and the relative size of their orbits. He found that his theory worked for all planets except Jupiter. Though he adjusted the theory to make it work, he was convinced the problem would be solved with better observations. As it turned out, the best observational astronomer in the world, Tycho Brahe, lived nearby.   In 1600, Kepler negotiated with Tycho for access to his data. Tycho recognized Kepler's genius and eventually agreed to work together. However, a year later, Tycho unexpectedly died. Kepler was appointed his successor as imperial mathematician, which enabled him to continue compiling and analyzing data on planetary motion in order to develop a more accurate model of the universe.  Tycho's observations were as good as was possible with the naked eye, and Kepler was determined to use them. Initially, he could not find a formula, whether geocentric or heliocentric, that would work.   Heliocentrism was close, but not up to the known margin of error of Tycho's observation. This led Kepler to give up on circles and try ellipses, which fit better, but not perfectly. After playing with some very complicated math, Kepler arrived at a solution that, in the end, proved Copernicus right about the Earth going around the sun. In the process, Kepler discovered his Three Laws of Planetary Motion which stand even to today.  Kepler's work was motivated by his Christian faith. He believed that since God is rational, the universe must be as well. Because humans are made in God's image, we can, as he said, “think God's thoughts after Him.” In other words, understanding the universe is possible.  This commitment led Kepler to be a rigid empiricist. Because God had given him Tycho's data, he was responsible to use it as fully as he could. For example, the earth's orbit is less than .02% away from being a perfect circle. Even that small amount made Kepler willing to jettison the supposed perfection of circular motion favored by the scientists of his day.  Though most others would have chalked that up to observational error, Kepler knew the margin of error of Tycho's observations and believed God expected him to honor the quality of the data, rather than conform it to his preconceptions about how it “should” be.  Kepler knew his theories would be rejected by scientists, but he didn't care. It had taken eons before anyone discovered how God had structured the universe, so Kepler figured he could wait another century or so to be proven right. His faith in the intelligibility of the universe was grounded in his belief that the world was governed by divine reason, the Logos. This led him to examine the world systematically, to not take shortcuts, to use what God gave him and, in the end, to lay the foundations for modern astronomy and physics.  This Breakpoint was co-authored by Dr. Glenn Sunshine.

A Texas professor has filed a lawsuit after he was allegedly fired for teaching that a person's sex is determined by chromosomes.  Dr. Johnson Varkey said the administration at St. Philip's College, a community college, told him several students made complaints about his “unacceptable religious preaching” in his biology class. It's unclear exactly what they considered “religious” about his lesson: Was it when he said the word “male” corresponds to XY chromosomes and the word “female” corresponds to XX? Or that the perpetuation of humanity (and any species) requires sexual reproduction between men and women—because same-sex relationships are, by nature, sterile?   I'm old enough to remember when the allegation was that Christianity is anti-science. If the new charge is that basic science is Christian, well, you won't get much argument from Christians. This is God's world, after all, which is why astronomer Johannes Kepler once described scientific study as “thinking God's thoughts after Him.”   All the same, the next time you're at your doctor's office, make sure that he has a higher view of basic biology than the St. Philip's College administration.
