I used to measure the sky, and now I measure whose epitaph the underworld is.

Kepler's

Johannes kepler, a German astronomer, mathematician and astrologer, 157 165438 was born in the Holy Roman Empire (now Germany) on February 27th, and 1630+0 15 died in Bavaria on June 27th.

Kepler studied at the University of Tubingen, and received his bachelor's degree from 65438 to 0588, and his master's degree three years later. At that time, most scientists refused to accept Copernicus' Heliocentrism. When studying at the University of Tubingen, he heard Heliocentrism's logical exposition and soon believed it.

How hard life is.

Kepler's life experience is unfortunate. His father died when he was 17 years old. /kloc-in 0/620, his mother, the daughter of a pub owner, was usually noisy and was charged with witchcraft and went to prison. It took him more than a year to get her acquitted. When Kepler was 26, he married a widow of noble birth. His arrogant wife makes him seldom feel warm at home.

16 13 after his ex-wife died, he chose a poor woman as his partner. Although the feelings are very harmonious, the economy is often in a desperate situation. His two wives had 12 children, most of whom died of poverty. As a Protestant, he was often persecuted by the Catholic Church, and some of his works were banned by the Pope.

Economic difficulties and hard work have seriously damaged Kepler's health. Even in prosperous times, the emperor paid his salary discontentedly. During the war, Kepler's salary was delayed.

1630 I didn't get my salary for several months, so I had to go to regensburg where an imperial conference was being held. When he got there, he suddenly had a fever. A few days later, 1 15 June 65438+1October 15, poor and sick, at the age of 59. He was buried in St Peter's Church in Latisbury. The fanaticism of the Thirty Years' War leveled his grave, but it also proved that his law of planetary motion is a monument longer than any stone tablet.
