The Complete History of ScienceThe Complete History of ScienceTycho's World System [Tycho Brahe Part 3]Tycho Brahe’s observations of the Great Comet of 1577 and his discovery of atmospheric refraction led him to reject solid celestial spheres and reassess the structure of the cosmos. Seeking an alternative to both the Ptolemaic and Copernican systems, he developed a geo-heliocentric model in which the Sun orbited the Earth while the planets orbited the Sun, a theory he supported with years of precise measurements, including a (mistaken) parallax for Mars. Though he failed to find definitive proof, Tycho’s tireless pursuit of accuracy and his revolutionary instruments laid the groundwork for the astronomical breakthroughs that would follow.2025-06-2028 minThe Complete History of ScienceThe Complete History of ScienceHven is a Place on Earth [Tycho Brahe Part 2] In 1576, Tycho Brahe was offered something no astronomer had ever received before: an island of his own. On the remote Baltic isle of Hven, Tycho set out to build the most advanced observatory in Europe.  But just as construction began, a brilliant comet appeared in the night sky. For Tycho, it was more than a celestial spectacle: it was a chance to test Aristotle, challenge old ideas, and prove that careful observation could overturn centuries of dogma.

He also studied under Hieronymous Fabricius, who combined Aristotelian philosophy with detailed dissections, shaping Harvey’s future medical practices. Contact: thecompletehistoryofscience@gmail.comBlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/gethinrichards.bsky.socialMusic Credit: Folk Round Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com...2024-12-2718 minThe Complete History of ScienceThe Complete History of ScienceFallopio and FabriciusContact: thecompletehistoryofscience@gmail.comBlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/gethinrichards.bsky.socialMusic Credit: Folk Round Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License2024-11-1122 minThe Complete History of ScienceThe Complete History of ScienceRealdo Colombo and the Pulmonary Transit of the Blood Realdo Colombo, a former student and colleague of Vesalius, challenged aspects of Galenic anatomy and made significant strides in understanding blood circulation.

definitive conclusion.  They were divided, between the belief that it was either a stimulus entering the eye or a visual ray projected from the eye.  This debate however, was finally settled by the great Hasan Ibn Al-Haytham, who developed the first modern theory of vision.  In this episode we explore Al-Haytham's optical work as one of the first great experimentalists who investigated the
