Synopsis:
Catalogo dell'omonima mostra allestita presso il Museo di Storia della Scienza di Firenze (18 giugno - 18 dicembre 2004). We have chosen to base the story of this World View Network project on the scholarly giants Nicolaus Copernicus, Thyco Brahe, Johann Kepler, Galileo Galilei and Isaac Newton. There were more of course, but these five made the all-important advancements. The history of how the modern concept of the Universe was created is a journey through two centuries from Frombork in northern Poland, the island of Ven in the Sound between Denmark and Sweden, Prague of the Holy Roman Empire, the scholarly centre in Florence to Cambridge and Woolsthorpe. When Newton fitted the final piece of the puzzle to his law of gravity, it confirmed Copernicus heliocentric hypothesis. Abbiamo scelto di tracciare la storia di questo progetto World View Network intorno a Nicolo Copernico, Tycho Brahe, Johann Kepler, Galileo Galilei e Isaac Newton perche, anche se di giganti della scienza ve ne furono molti altri, questi cinque compirono i passi determinanti. La storia di come fu creata la moderna concezione dellUniverso si articola percio in un viaggio di due secoli attraverso Frombork, nella Polonia settentrionale, lisola di Hven, nel Sound fra la Danimarca e la Svezia, la Praga capitale del Sacro Romano Impero, il grande centro culturale che fu Firenze, per giungere fino a Woolsthorpe e a Cambridge. E quando Newton colloco lultima tessera del rompicapo, la legge di gravitazione, questa torno a confermare lipotesi eliocentrica di Copernico. English text / Testo in inglese, traduzione italiana in appendice.
