The story of his life, including his discovery of the three laws of planetary motion which removed Earth once and for all from its position at the center of the Universe, took an even more dramatic turn when his mother was arrested for witchcraft and Kepler was forced to defend her. On the way to her trial, reading Galileo\u2019s father\u2019s book on harmony, Kepler experienced one of his greatest epiphanies about the harmony of the universe.<\/p>\n<p>History, religion, passion and science intersect in this remarkable individual\u2019s life with a performance in the Academy\u2019s planetarium that has the capacity to elicit moments of transcendence as it enlivens your senses and stimulates your mind. We will explore Kepler\u2019s unique capacity to integrate a worldview steeped in mysticism with a rigorous scientific perspective based on observation and experimentation.<\/p>\n<p>The Kepler Story is produced by\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thekeplerstory.org\/\" target=\"new\">Motion Institute<\/a>, a Bay Area nonprofit theater production company that offers audiences a singular view of current issues, presented in ways that are contemporary, unpredictable, and embedded in the narratives of their own lives.
