Johannes Kepler: The Astronomer Who Decoded the Universe I SLICE HISTORY | FULL DOCUMENTARY

Описание: 400 years ago, in a time of contradictions - between the Reformation and the Counter-Reformation, war and peace, superstition and enlightenment - Johannes Kepler enters the scientific stage and revolutionizes thinking about space. His discoveries would secure his place as the father of modern natural sciences. His groundbreaking laws of planetary motion set the stage for modern astronomy, as we know it today.
His successes, however, were hard-won in the shadow of numerous challenges, personal tragedies and historical upheavals. The film tells the gripping story of the life and scientific work of Johannes Kepler. Viewers will be captivated by a narrative style that melds both aspects – personal life and research – to form an entertaining and understandable whole.

Dramatic scenes reveal what external and internal resistance Kepler fought on his way - and how his firm faith gave him the strength to overcome all these resistances and to decode the secrets of the universe. These dramatized segments are complimented by graphics and animations that clearly convey the “official” early 17th century worldview and Kepler’s epoch-making scientific studies. Viewers gain palpable understanding of why his work constituted a veritable “celestial revolution”.

World-class scientists give insight into Kepler’s unique biography. Suzanna Randall, who is preparing to be the first female German astronaut in space in 2020, sheds light on Kepler's relevance from the perspective of science today. The renowned historian Ulinka Rublack, author of the bestselling Kepler-biography "The astronomer and the Witch," will shed light on Kepler's personal life and the zeitgeist of his time.
