Mathematician Johannes Kepler once believed he had uncovered the divine order of the universe—that the planets’ distances were arranged by the five Platonic solids. He was wrong… but his mistake was profoundly beautiful.

In this clip from New York Encounter 2025, biologists Martin Nowak and Rob Phillips explore the mystery of mathematics, beauty, and the infinite. They reveal why science will never be complete—because it is a journey into the unknown, reflecting our yearning for something beyond.
