What It Means

This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "[A] comparison was undertaken between this book—or the related work On the Harmonies...—and Aristotle's books On the Heavens and Metaphysics... I have nothing to worry about in the case of Aristotle... His Most Serene Highness cannot dislike whatever is the more convincing, whether it be that the world was first made at a fixed beginning in time as was my work On the Harmonies, or will be destroyed at some time, or is merely liable to destruction, like the alterations of the ether and the celestial atmosphere; nor will he ever prefer the Master Aristotle to the truth of which Aristotle was ignorant." in the context of "Johannes Kepler, Epitome of Copernican Astronomy (1939) Tr. Charles Glenn Wallis of Epitome Astronomiae Copernicanae (1618-1621)" to mean that wisdom is timeless.
