Science

TIL Tycho Brahe had a castle named Uraniborg, with an alchemy lab in the basement.

How do we make science this cool again?

if we want renaissance vibes back again we have to bring back patronage in full form

creativity, curiosity, boundless exploration are all at the core of making anything fun and magical 

science won’t be this cool and exploratory again until research financing isn’t a huge PITA and doesn’t come with strings attached 🥲

case in point:

“King Frederick II granted Tycho an estate on the island of Hven and the money to build Uraniborg, the first large observatory in Christian Europe”

If I am EVER in a position to be a true patron of the arts, I’m definitely doing it
