Theory of Space Structure - Space Structure

Japanese: 宇宙構造論 - うちゅうこうぞうろん
Theory of Space Structure - Space Structure

...The same situation applies to Kepler. Moreover, Kepler, influenced by the mathematical rationality of the universe in Neoplatonism, developed an interesting theory of the structure of the universe. For example, he believed that the number of planets known at the time would be six (water, metal, earth, fire, wood, and earth) if the sun was at the center of the universe, and that there were five types of regular polyhedrons. In addition, he believed that he had discovered the numerical harmony of the universe as God's work (this can be seen in Kepler's third law, which states that the ratio of the square of the planet's orbital period to the cube of the mean orbital radius is constant).

… こうした事情はケプラーの場合にも当てはまる。しかも,ケプラーにあっては,さらに新プラトン主義のもつ宇宙の数的合理性の影響もあって,興味深い宇宙構造論を展開した。例えば当時知られていた惑星の数が太陽中心説なら6個(水,金,地,火,木,土)になることと,正多面体の種類が5種類になることのうえに,神の作品としての宇宙の数的な調和を発見した(そのことは,ケプラーの第3法則,惑星の公転周期の2乗と平均公転半径の3乗の比が一定であるというところにも見られる)と信じた。…
