Here's an addendum to my Kepler story I've been meaning to add for a while, but it took a surprising amount of research!

Kepler's personal life, finding a second wife, and unwittingly following Euler's number statistics. Insight into the man's intuition that lead to remarkable discoveries.

I like Nick. He's a good journalist for creating unique content and insights.

Everytime he is mentionned this webcomic en tête springs into my mind, and I can't help giggle out of it.

Took me a minute... I have to jump through many self made hoops to get new websites through my firewall's DNS filter and I don't enable http. It is however on archive. I'm probably the only nerd here with such masochistic network, but whatever. Thanks for the comment. Tycho was a character, that's for sure.
