Johannes kepler full biography of betty white

Johannes Kepler, the father of modern astronomy, fabricated data in presenting his theory of how the planets move around the sun, apparently to bolster acceptance of the insight by skeptics, a scholar has found.

The scholar, William H. Donahue, said the evidence of Kepler’s scientific fakery is in an elaborate chart he presented to support his theory.

Kepler showed that planets move in elliptical orbits, not circles as Copernicus suggested.

In a book, Kepler said it was confirmed by independent calculations of the planets’ positions. In fact, Donahue says, Kepler derived the data by calculations based on the theory itself.

Kepler anticipated stiff criticism of his theory. From antiquity, the circle had been considered the only geometrical shape perfect enough to describe the movement of heavenly bodies.

Done in 1609, Kepler’s fakery is one of the earliest known examples of the use of false data by a giant of modern science.

Donahue, a science historian, turned up the falsified data while translating Kepler’s master work, Astronomia Nova, or The New Astronomy, into English.

Donahue, who lives in Sante Fe, N.M., described what he learned in a recent issue of The Journal of the History of Astronomy.

The fabricated data appear in calculated position
