But Tycho Brahe and Kepler didn't fit all those ideas of a proper scientist. Both of them sometimes cast horoscopes, for example. Maybe they only did it for the money and didn't believe in astrology. If you accept Brahe as a scientist by your definition then he is probably the answer. | |

| Feb 13, 2023 at 6:39 | comment | added | releseabe | i recall the edison war of the worlds "sequel" -- how weird to see names of people in fiction whose genealogies include countless live academics. there are perhaps living but old people today who met edison. also: perhaps not. but tons of people when i was growing must have seen edison in person. just 20 years is enough to make someone seem very remote. | |
