    Extractions: Robert Hooke. Nato a Freshwater, nell'isola di Wight, fu uno dei più brillanti e versatili scienziati inglesi del XVII secolo. Frequentò, pur senza conseguire la laurea, l'università di Oxford, dove entrò in contatto con il gruppo di studiosi (John Wilkins, John Wallis, Christopher Wren, Robert Boyle, tra gli altri) che in seguito avrebbero costituito il primo nucleo della Royal Society. Fu un abilissimo inventore e costruttore di strumenti scientifici (il suo nome è legato a un tipo di microscopio). Formulò, inoltre, una teoria ondulatoria della luce che enunciò articolatamente nella Micrographia , del 1665. Dopo aver, per circa quindici anni (1662-1677), svolto le funzioni di curatore degli esperimenti della Royal Society, nel 1677 ne divenne segretario, mantenendo la carica fino al 1682. Nel campo della pneumatica, il nome di Hooke è legato, in particolare, alla costruzione di una versione perfezionata della pompa pneumatica di Otto von Guericke, poi descritta da Boyle - di cui fu assistente negli anni tra 1657 e il 1662 - nei New Experiments Physico-Mechanical Nuovi esperimenti fisico meccanici , 1660). Mediante un'ingegnosa serie di prove sperimentali condotte con questo strumento, Boyle e Hooke dimostrarono che gli effetti osservabili nell'esperimento torricelliano erano realmente dovuti all'aria e alla sua pressione, che il suono era impossibile nel vuoto e che l'aria era caratterizzata da una permanente elasticità.

    Extractions: Robert Hooke (1635-1703) was the architect of Willen church and has been called 'one of the most inventive geniuses the world has ever seen'. As a boy he enrolled at Westminster School where he mastered Euclid's six books of geometry in a week and invented 'thirty several ways of flying'. He lodged in the house of the headmaster, Dr. Busby , who became a life-long friend and later commissioned Willen Church. After the Restoration of Charles II in 1660 he became Curator of Experiments to the newly founded Royal Society, a post which he held until his death. He was the leading scientific figure of the period, with a mastery over a vast range of scientific fields. He wrote letters to scientists all over the world using four different languages. A list of his discoveries and inventions is impressive. He invented the air-pump which was the ancestor of the steam engine and internal combustion engine. Hooke was the first to observe that plants have a cellular structure. He gave the plant cell its name. Hooke discovered Hook's Law, concerning power in springs, and used it to develop a pocket watch using a balance-spring instead of a pendulum. He also invented the universal joint which is a key component of the modern car. After the great Fire of London in 1666 he was appointed Surveyor for the City of London. As such he had to help plan and oversee the building of canals, bridges, quays and sewers. He also worked with Christopher Wren on designing many beautiful and prominent buildings. Willen church is one of only two buildings known to be all Hooke's work.

    Extractions: If you are starting this tour, please read the exhibit overview Robert Hooke (1635-1703), inventor and wide-ranging researcher, was curator of experiments of the Royal Society, professor of geometry at Gresham College, and Surveyor of the City of London after the Fire of 1666. He is best known for his accomplishments in physics and mechanics, but his Micrographia is important for its observations through a microscope of stones, plants including fungi, and insects, and its striking illustrations.

    Extractions: In 1663, Hooke was officially elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society, and two years later he received an appointment as Professor of Geometry at Gresham College. The latter position was accompanied by a suite of rooms at the college where Hooke lived and worked for the rest of his life. During this period, Hooke's interest in microscopy and astronomy soared, and he published Micrographia , his best known work on optical microscopy in 1665. The next year, Hooke published a volume on comets, Cometa detailing his close observation of the comets occurring in 1664 and 1665. Later in 1666, he was appointed surveyor of London, shortly after the Great Fire, and designed a number of buildings including the Royal College of Physicians, Bethlehem Hospital, and Montague House. After Henry Oldenburg's death in 1677, Hooke succeeded to the post of Secretary of the Royal Society, which he maintained for the next 16 years. Micrographia encompassed the first important set of observations using an early microscope equipped with compound magnifying lenses and was illustrated by elaborate drawings (his finely-detailed drawing of a flea is famous). Hooke observed a wide diversity of organisms including insects, sponges, bryozoans, diatoms, and bird feathers. Perhaps less well known, Robert Hooke coined the term "cell", in a biological context, as he described the microscopic structure of cork like a tiny, bare room or monk's cell in his landmark discovery of plant cells with cell walls. Hooke was able to confirm Leeuwenhoek's surprising observations of bacteria and protozoans, leading to the general acceptance of the Dutch scientist's results by the established scientific community. Hooke, much preferring his compound microscopes, did not conduct a substantial number of experiments with Leeuwenhoek-style microscopes, and criticized these simple instruments as offensive to his eyes.

    Extractions: Musician, Mechanic, Professor of Geometry, Philosopher, Linguist Hooke was involved in a wide variety of scientific endeavours, he was a member of a circle of the greatest scientists of the seventeenth century, but despite a list of important inventions and discoveries, his memory has been almost wiped from the popular history of science by the followers of Newton, Wren, Boyle and Huygens, who argued with him, and rubbished his theories, possibly contributing to his later ill health. He had natural gift for learning very quickly, and impressive dexterity. Which led him to excell at making all manner of mechanical apparatus, Indeed at one stage he even greatly improved the best water pumps in England, during a brief visit to the cambridge fens, in just a few days, with no previous preparation. His professional science career, began as an assistant to Dr. Thomas Willis and later Robert Boyle, and he was also assistant to the Royal Society, where as Curator of Experiments, he had to give lectures and perform experiments requested by the fellows of the society. But it wasn't long before he was made a Professor himself, becoming Professor of Geometry at Gresham College, with this academic standing he was invited into the fellowship of the society, to become equals to the masters he once served.
