Kepler
’Harmony’ was, for Kepler, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johannes_Kepler the key to the understanding of ‘life, the universe and everything.’ In 1611, before the invention of the microscope he wrote a paper about snowflakes. Transferring his attention from the vastness of space to the minutiae of frozen water droplets, he described the beautiful and invariable geometrical precision of their 60-degree structures and sub-structures. He went on to speculate: what further structures might lie beyond what the human eye could see? If there were infinitesimal particles it was reasonable to suppose that they, too, must obey the same mathematical laws. Herein lay the first footprints on the dusty road leading to atomic theory. ~ Page 120 “A Magical World” ~ Author Derek K. Wilson
