Renaissance physics is certainly not relevant anymore.

Sure, we could repeat the disputes between the Pope and Gallileo, for 
instance. But what is that good for?

Btw: I would always support Kepler in such a dispute.

The reason: I had once neighbors named 'Kepler', who were the 
grand-grand-somethings of Johannes Kepler.

That impressed me very much, and was one of the main reasons, that made 
me interested in physics.
