Brahe's Astronomy

Brahe was convinced he'd discovered the arrangement of the world, and only just in timebe it might be ending soon. He thought of his own hypotheses as the best account of physical reality. But he didn't think that this account could be securely established by mathematics or observations. The influence of the stars is real, but not so powerful that it constrains divine or human will.
