Why Tycho Brahe have hesitated to hire Kepler?

Tycho Brahe hesitated to hire Johannes Kepler due to concerns about Kepler's unconventional ideas that challenged established astronomical theories. Brahe was a traditionalist who valued empirical observation and was cautious about integrating Kepler's more radical, mathematical approach. Additionally, their differing personalities and work styles contributed to Brahe's reluctance, as he preferred to maintain control over his research and findings. Ultimately, he did hire Kepler, but only after he recognized Kepler's potential and the value of his insights.


How did Kepler steal Tycho Brahe's data?

Kepler did not literally steal Tycho Brahe's data; rather, he inherited it after Brahe's death in 1601. Brahe had meticulously collected astronomical observations over many years, but he had not fully analyzed them. Kepler, who had been working as Brahe's assistant, gained access to this invaluable data and used it to formulate his own laws of planetary motion, ultimately revolutionizing the understanding of celestial mechanics.
