…from classical Greek times through the middle ages and so on but primarily it's associated with a recent beginning with Galileo, Kepler, Newton and so on. This is geometry with motion. So the visual strategies necessary to think and work in this area…

…changing in a circle, a divine mathematical form according to Plato as the planets were supposed to move before Kepler, who introduced the ellipse. Fantastic transformation, punctual catastrophe in the history of consciousness. In short, according to this epic…

…massive supernova in the southern hemisphere, the biggest supernova since 1604, an exploding star in the skies which Galileo and Kepler saw and which played a major part in the scientific revolution. All through history these supernovas, exploding stars in…

…left over from our infatuation with perfect geometrical shapes. When greek science kicked off about 2500 years ago, it took Kepler and Copernicus to demonstrate that the orbits of the planets were not perfect spheres. Because God loves perfect circles.…

…this tormented method, you could predict with reasonable accuracy the location of the planets. Well, it took Copernicus, with help from Kepler, to come along and say, this is all nonsense. Ellipses describe the motion of the planets. And when that adjustment…

…Yeah. Well, I think, you know, that these kinds of occult calculations, this is a legitimate way to proceed. This is how Kepler modeled the solar system, you know, was by putting the greek perfect mathematical forms inside each other. But I am really…
