Himself - Host:
As a boy, Kepler had been captured by a vision of cosmic splendor--a harmony of the worlds, which he sought so tirelessly all his life. Harmony in this world eluded him. His three laws of planetary motion represent--as we now know--a real harmony of the worlds; but, to Kepler, they were only incidental to his quest for a cosmic system based on the perfect solids--a system, which, it turns out, existed only in his mind. Yet, from his work, we have found that scientific laws pervade all of nature, that the same rules apply on earth as in the skies, that we can find a resonance--a [pause] harmony--between the way we think and the way the world works. When he found that his long-cherished beliefs did not agree with the most precise observations, he accepted the uncomfortable facts. He preferred the hard truth to his dearest delusions. That is the heart of science.
