AI: Galileo Galilei, Johannes Kepler, and Christiaan Huygens Compared: The Telescope Revolutionized Astronomy in the 17th Century
“Philosophy [i.e., science] is written in this grand book, the universe, which stands continually open to our gaze. But the book cannot be understood unless one first learns to comprehend the language and read the letters in which it is composed. It is written in the language of mathematics, and its characters are triangles, circles, and other geometric figures without which it is humanly impossible to understand a single word of it; without these, one wanders about in a dark labyrinth.” – Galileo Galilei
“O telescope, instrument of much knowledge, more precious than any sceptre!” – Johannes Kepler
“The more I observe, the more I see that nature is full of order and laws.” – Christiaan Huygens
