Cosmology's Strange Origins | Crystal Spheres: Inside Aristotle’s Ancient Universe #space #cosmos

Step into a cosmos where Earth is the unshakable center, the stars are divine, and the heavens move in perfect circles. In this episode, we explore the Aristotelian Universe — a model that shaped ancient and medieval thought for nearly two millennia. Discover how Aristotle’s vision of nested crystalline spheres and elemental harmony gave structure to the cosmos long before telescopes or quantum theories.

Was it science, philosophy, or something in between? We unravel the elegance and limitations of this ancient worldview, tracing its influence from Greek philosophers to Renaissance astronomers who dared to break the spheres.
