Description of Kepler's 3D model
To Kepler, the six planets (Copernican paradigm) orbited crystalline spheres. The thickness of a sphere was the minimum to contain the elliptical orbit of its planet. The five gaps between these six concentric spheres were spaced by the Platonic solids.
  • Gap #1: Saturn/Jupiter, the cube
    harmonic ratio = sqrt(3) ~= 1.732
  • Gap #2: Jupiter/Mars, the tetrahedron
    harmonic ratio = 3
  • Gap #3: Mars/Earth, the dodecahedron
    harmonic ratio ~= 1.258
  • Gap #4: Earth/Venus, the icosahedron
    harmonic ratio ~= 1.258
  • Gap #5: Venus/Mercury, the octahedron
    harmonic ratio = sqrt(3) ~= 1.732
  • The cube and the octahedron, having the same harmonic ratio, might be interchanged. Ditto the dodecahedron and icosahedron. However, Kepler argued that the order listed above was the correct order. The sympathy of the cube and octahedron (that is, sharing the same harmonic ratio) is elementary. The sympathy of the dodecahedron and icosahedron is not elementary, but will be familiar to students of Euclid (are there any still alive?) as the second proposition of Hypsicles, author of the work sometimes known as "Euclid Book XIV". Apparently this result is due to Aristaeus the Elder, ca 320 BCE, in his work, Comparison of the five regular solids.

    Conic Sections in Ancient Greece
    Ken Schmarge
    History of Mathematics Term Paper, Spring 1999
    Introduction
    The knowledge of conic sections can be traced back to Ancient Greece. Menaechmus is credited with the discovery of conic sections around the years 360-350 B.C.; it is reported that he used them in his two solutions to the problem of "doubling the cube". Following the work of Menaechmus, these curves were investigated by Aristaeus and of Euclid. The next major contribution to the growth of conic section theory was made by the great Archimedes. Though he obtained many theorems concerning the conics, it does not appear that he published any work devoted solely to them. Apollonius, on the other hand, is known as the "Great Geometer" on the basis of his text Conic Sections , an eight-"book" (or in modern terms, "chapter") series on the subject. The first four books have come down to us in the original Ancient Greek, but books V-VII are known only from an Arabic translation, while the eighth book has been lost entirely. In the years following Apollonius the Greek geometric tradition started to decline, though there were developments in astronomy, trigonometry, and algebra (Eves, 1990, p. 182). Pappus, who lived about 300 A.D., furthered the study of conic sections somewhat in minor ways. After Pappus, however, conic sections were nearly forgotten for 12 centuries. It was not until the sixteenth century, in part as a consequence of the invention of printing and the resulting dissemination of Apollonius' work, that any significant progress in the theory or applications of conic sections occurred; but when it did occur, in the work of Kepler, it was as part of one of the major advances in the history of science.

    Aristaeus the Elder was probably older than, but still a contemporary of, Euclid . We know practically nothing of his life except that Pappus refers to him as Aristaeus the Elder which presumably means that Pappus was aware of another later mathematician also named Aristaeus. We have no record of such a person but we do point out below a possible confusion which may result from there being two mathematicians called Aristaeus. Pappus gave Aristaeus great credit for a work entitled Five Books concerning Solid Loci which was used by Pappus but has now been lost. 'Solid loci' is the Greek name for conic sections so it is rather confusing that there is another reference by a later writer to a work by Aristaeus called Five Books concerning Conic Sections . However these two works are now thought to be the same. Pappus describes the work as:- ... five books of Solid Loci connected with the conics. and also claims (if this is not a latter addition to the text) that Euclid compiled elementary results on conics in his treatise Conics while Aristaeus's results, much deeper, original and specialised, were not included by

    Aristaeus was a native of Croton, a Greek colony in southern Italy. He succeeded Eudoxus of Cnidus as the head of his school in Cyrene, and worked closely with Euclid and Apollonius on a treatise entitled "Analysis of Locus", a method of geometry for advanced students, now lost.
    Work
    His main writings are:
    "Geometric loci"
    "Elements of conic sections": 5 books.
    "On regular solids ": Unlike Apollonius of Perga, Aristaeus considered the three conics as sections of acute-angled, right-angled and obtuse-angled cones perpendicular to the generatrix. Lost.
    "On the five regular solids": Proved that the pentagon of a dodecahedron is inscribed in the same circle as the triangle of an icosahedron inscribed in the same sphere. Lost.
    "Solid loci": 5 books. This treatise is considered more important than Euclid's work of the same name. "On geometrical loci with respect to three and four lines". Contact the Technology Museum
