Early in his life, Kepler treasured to prove that the universe obeyed Platonistic mathematical relationships, such as the planetary orbits were circular and at distances from the sun proportional to the Platonic solids (see paragraph below). However, when his friend the astronomer Tycho Brahe died, he gave Kepler his immense order of battle of astronomical observations.

After years of studying these observations, Kepler realized that his previous(prenominal) thought about planetary motion were wrong, and he came up with his three laws of planetary motion. Unfortunately, he did not have a unifying theory for these laws. This had to until Newton formulated his laws of gravity and motion. Platonic SOLIDS A platonic solid is a solid having similar, unbroken polygonal faces. There are five Platonic solid...If you destiny to get a full essay, order it on our website: Orderessay
