The most recognizable modern art of the 21st century comes from three people.

Jeff Coons, Shepard Ferry, and Banksy.

Shepard Ferry and Banksy regularly risk jail time to put their work in public. Jeff Coons regularly risks bankruptcy to create complicated works of art that cost millions of dollars to fabricate.

But only one of the three is anonymous. Who exactly is Banksy?

Konichuah, it's Nick in Fukuoka Japan and this is a special archived episode of A Kimbo.

Before we can talk about who is Banksi we need to talk a little bit about Isaac Newton.

Isaac Newton arguably one of the most important pioneers in science and math,

the person who calculated Newton's laws, the person who helped us understand calculus,

the person who figured out that Kepler's calculations about gravity and the motion of planets were correct was a loon.

He spent almost all his time working on things like the precise measurements of the Temple of Solomon so that he could

calculate when the apocalypse would come.

And he spent most of his time working on alchemy, which is not a science at all. The fact that Newton was

a little bit nuts doesn't change the fact that gravity can be predicted. It doesn't change the fact that calculus works.

Or Kepler. Kepler worked for Tico Brahe, who was one of the richest people in Denmark.

He owned 1% of all the assets in the country, and he was the court astronomer.

He's the first scientist to identify and explain a supernova.

Tico, of course, had a pet moose.

Not only that, but he got in a duel and had his nose shot off, so he fashioned a replacement

nose made out of gold, which he held on with putty.

He probably died of mercury poisoning, we're not exactly sure, who killed him. We do

know that he gave the Moose, the Pet Moose, a lot of Danish beer and that one day the pet moose got so drunk he fell

down a flight of stairs and died that doesn't change anything about the fact of the supernova.
