On the 300th anniversary of Johan nes Kepler’s death, Einstein tells the Prussian Academy of Science what wonders Kepler performed, overcom ing poverty, worry and making clear to human beings the laws of geometry and time. Much progress in, human intelli gence has been made since Kepler’s day. To hold the emperor’s favor, Kepler had to tell the imperial for tune and pretend to predict the future by astrology, which he knew to be nonsense. t Bishop Finlay Ac- x cepts State Chairman ship of Foundation Announcement is made by Dr. J.

And even the great Tycho Brahe, who mapped the hea,vens without a telescope and took Kepler for his as sistant when Kepler was twenty-nine, had his superstitions. He kept with him an idiot, that crouched at his feet at table, eating scraps thrown to him. x And when the idiot uttered mean ingless sounds, Tycho Brahe caused all his other guests to be silent, be lieving that the idiot’s talk was in spired. There is a good deal of scientific talk, so-called, today that might well have been uttered by Tycho Brahe’s idiot. Some of it “refers to time that began at a certain point in the past” and some of it drivels about space that curves on itself, and is, there fore, not infinite.
