Abstract

Von Guericke became obsessed by the idea of a vacuum after learning about the recent and radical idea of a heliocentric universe: a cosmos with the sun at the center and the planets whipping around it. Recent research suggests that around 5 billion years ago, the matter in the universe diluted to the point that dark energy could come to the fore.5 Today, it represents roughly 70 percent of the entire energy budget of the cosmos. Features ASTRONOMY IN 1654 A GERMAN SCIENTIST and politician named Otto von Guericke was supposed to be busy being the mayor of Magdeburg. [Extracted from the article]
