Huh? I didn't quite get that. It's really Kepler's formula, not mind.

@thoumaturgica Whatever Dude! Thats something bolster! I wish I could be that excited when I do math. He's a badass!

[esteje]

@yoshioua that is just the angular moment conservation

@donylee He is referring to in your video at around 8:02, when you said it. Great Video!

When did you prove that h is a constant?

[Jeorney]

Kepler was a genius! Especially considering he lived in the 17th century. He was a mathematician, astronomer, and perhaps suprisingly an astrologer.

You are great! I enjoyed this proof very much. Do you teach somewhere, or offer tutoring?

Very interesting teaching style but it paid off. Everything you said made perfect sense and it's understandable. Congratulations. Excellent job, without a shadow of a doubt.
