Kepler apparently spent his entire life living inside a snow globe? Amazing!

Rudolf II did not pay Kepler the salary he had agreed to, and he failed to honour their business agreement. Why? Nobody knows exactly. The fact is that Rudolf had a fortune and played for keeps. He spent huge sums on strange alchemical projects that were nothing but illusions. He longed for the elixir of life and youth because he was ill — probably with syphilis — and hoped that this false alchemical science would produce a miracle. Meanwhile he ignored a real scientist like Kepler. What an irony. After Kepler died, people found a fortune that Rudolf still owed him, together with legal paperwork that showed the emperor’s conduct amounted to criminal negligence. But the emperor was above the law. He lived in an absolute monarchy and was the last word in any legal appeal.
