I believe that Kepler contribute order in a time of disorder and chaos. BeforeKeplers theory was excepted, everybody believed that God controlledeverything and earth is the center of the universe.
People at the time were verysuperstitious, they believed in witches. They were very religious as well; theydidnt want to accept anything but God. I think there was chaos becauseeverybody was confused. No one knew the truth of universe and there were manyreligious wars at the time. Kepler had different views of the world then othersbecause he was a scientist and an astronomer. I noticed that in the play AShort History of Night Kepler mentioned few times that things happenaccording to angles, geometry.
That shows how he was very different from others. He didnt agree with the church. He was against what church said and heconvinced the others that religion wasnt everything and God doesnt makeeverything happen. He spent all his life to prove that his theory and at the endhe proved that the planets revolve by itself on axis. Which practically provedthat church is wrong and that took away some of the powers and belief from thechurch.
This play made me realized how it was in time of chaos. I noticed frombeginning of play to end of the play there were many religious wars and battles. And also how religious people were at the time. There were witch hunters andwitches were badly tortured and hunters accused even innocent girls and womenand burnt them.Science
