Extractions: R obert H ooke (1635-1703) No portrait survives of Robert Hooke. His name is somewhat obscure today, due in part to the enmity of his famous, influential, and extremely vindictive colleague, Sir Isaac Newton. Yet Hooke was perhaps the single greatest experimental scientist of the seventeenth century. His interests knew no bounds, ranging from physics and astronomy, to chemistry, biology, and geology, to architecture and naval technology; he collaborated or corresponded with scientists as diverse as Christian Huygens, Antony van Leeuwenhoek , Christopher Wren, Robert Boyle, and Isaac Newton. Among other accomplishments, he invented the universal joint, the iris diaphragm, and an early prototype of the respirator; invented the anchor escapement and the balance spring, which made more accurate clocks possible; served as Chief Surveyor and helped rebuild London after the Great Fire of 1666; worked out the correct theory of combustion; devised an equation describing elasticity that is still used today ("Hooke's Law"); assisted Robert Boyle in studying the physics of gases; invented or improved meteorological instruments such as the barometer, anemometer, and hygrometer; and so on. He was the type of scientist that was then called a virtuoso able to contribute findings of major importance in any field of science. It is not surprising that he made important contributions to biology and to paleontology.

Extractions: Robert Hooke 's father was John Hooke who was a curate at All Saints Church in Freshwater on the Isle of Wight. Although formally a curate, since the minister was also Dean of Gloucester Cathedral and of Wells, John Hooke was left in charge of All Saints. It was a well off church being in the patronage of St John's College, Cambridge. As well as his duties in the church, John Hooke also ran a small school attached to the church and acted as a private tutor. Robert had a brother named John, the same as his father, who was five years older. Relatively few details of Robert's childhood are known. What we record here is information which he mentioned to his friends later in his life. Robert, like many children of his day, had poor health and was not expected to reach adulthood. His father was from a family in which it was expected that all the boys joined the Church (John Hooke's three brothers were all ministers) so had Robert enjoyed good health as a child there is no doubt that he would have followed the family tradition. As it was Robert's parents did begin to set up his education with this in mind but he continually suffered from headaches which made studying hard. Lacking confidence that he would reach adulthood, Robert's parents gave up on his education, leaving him much to his own devices.

Robert Hooke. Robert Hooke, 16351703, English chemist, mathematician,physicist, and inventor. Hooke's remarkable engineering abilities
http://www.english.upenn.edu/~jlynch/Frank/People/hooke.html

Extractions: Robert Hooke, 1635- , English chemist, mathematician, physicist, and inventor. Hooke's remarkable engineering abilities enabled him to invent and improve many mechanical devices, including timepieces (for which he invented the spiral spring), the quadrant, and the Gregorian telescope. Perhaps even more intriguing than his actual inventions are the devices he designed but never built: he anticipated the invention of the steam engine, and as early as 1684 he described a working telegraph system. At Oxford , he met Robert Boyle , who used his air pump to investigate the physical properties of gases. Hooke balanced his inventions with more pure research. In Micrographia (1665), he coined the word cell to describe the features of plant tissue he was able to discover under the microscope. He put his extensive mathematical knowledge in formulating the theory of planetary movement, which provided a basis for Sir Isaac Newton 's theories of gravitation. In 1667 he discovered the role of oxygenation in the respiratory system. Hooke was a member of the Royal Society . After the Great Fire of 1666, he was chosen to design New Bethlehem Hospital in London, better known as Bedlam.

Though Boyle's portrait survives, we have no idea what has happened to that of Hooke. It is curious, furthermore, that when Richard Waller edited Hooke's Posthumous Works for the Royal Society in 1710 he did not have this picture engraved to form a frontispiece to the sumptuous folio volume. On the other hand, we do possess two detailed pen-portraits of Hooke written by men who knew him well. The first was that recorded by his friend John Aubrey, and describes Hooke in middle life and at the height of his creative powers: He is but of midling stature, something crooked, pale faced, and his face but little below, but his head is lardge, his eie full and popping, and not quick; a grey eie.

Rocky Road: Robert Hooke
Robert Hooke. A century before Cuvier, Robert Hooke considered the possibility thatfossils could have belonged to organisms no longer living on this planet.
http://www.strangescience.net/hooke.htm

Extractions: The name most often associated with the concept of extinction is Georges Cuvier's. But while Cuvier succeeded in getting the scientific community to accept extinction, he wasn't the first to think about it. A century before Cuvier, Robert Hooke considered the possibility that fossils could have belonged to organisms no longer living on this planet. Hooke's insight is all the more remarkable considering the times in which he lived. The prevailing belief was that fossils were made by some creative force in the earth, capable of creating any shape out of stone. To Hooke, this idea simply made no sense. As he put it, nature "does nothing in vain." Perhaps the first person to use a microscope to examine the origin of fossils, Hooke recognized the similarity between modern wood and petrified wood, as shown in this illustration from his book Micrographia . What might have had an even greater impact on his views, however, was the shell of a modern nautilus. Hooke recognized the similarity between the modern nautilus and the extinct ammonite (with a corrugated rather than smooth shell) and he concluded that the ammonite fossils had also possessed protective shells. Yet Hooke also saw the differences between nautiluses and ammonites, and this raised a nagging question: Where were the ammonites now? That any of God's creations could perish from the earth was an idea considered untenable by the science community of the 17th century. Cuvier was more successful in promoting the concept of extinction in the late 18th and early 19th century, probably because the French Revolution had made society or at least some scientists more willing to accept unorthodox ideas.

http://www.ilt.columbia.edu/projects/bluetelephone/html/hooke.html

Extractions: In his youth he studied several languages such as Latin and Chinese and had a fascination for secret codes. After his education at Christ Church in Oxford, 1653, he was elected in January of 1665 to the post of "Curator of Experiments" for the Royal Society, and would hold this position for life. Later that same year he secured a spot at as the professor of geometry in Gresham Collage where he taught for 30 years. Hooke is most famous for his experiment which used a series of telescopes to design a "telegraphic" visual communication system, which worked over great distances. Many other experiments were conducted by him. His investigation of air began with 75 questions, which provided the direction of exploration. He devised a method of supplying air to a diving bell, he constructed a double barreled air pump and the conical pendulum, as well as an engine for cutting clock and watch wheels. As a hearing aid for the hard of hearing he developed an ear trumpet. He studied the number of vibrations made by a musical chord. He also conducted numerous experiments on acoustics, magnetism, metallurgy, and geography, as well as the anatomy of muscles and histology of plant cells. It is important to note that Hooke took part in the great Oxford movement, which resulted in the foundation of the Royal Society, and in fact his "Micrographia," was renowned as one of the early gems of the Society. This work animated his discoveries on respiration, the composition of atmosphere, and the nature of light. It was in this work the word "cell" was first used.

Seeing Further, The Legacy Of Robert Hooke
hooke, robert, * 1635 in Freshwater (Isle of Wight), + 1703 in London. Immer war er kränkelnd, wahrscheinlich verkrüppelt.
http://earthspace.net/~kmiles/spec/hooks.html

Extractions: The Legacy of Robert Hooke "He was of an active, restless, indefatigable Genius even almost to the last, and always slept little to his death, seldom going to sleep till two three, or four a Clock in the Morning, and seldomer to Bed, often continuing his Studies all Night, and taking a nap in the day. His temper was Melancholy...." Robert Hooke was a significant influence in the advancement of science as well as Newton. An established physicist and astronomer, Hooke was with the Royal Society from its inception, and served it tirelessly and loyally for over forty years; it was he who had worded the society's credo "To improve the knowledge of natural things, and all useful Arts, Manufactures, Mechanic practices, Engines and Inventions by Experiments (not meddling with divinity, Metaphysics, Morals, Politics, Grammar, Rhetoric or Logic)." But the rancor between Newton and Hooke did much to tarnish Hooke's reputation. Hooke was born on the Isle of Wight, July 18, 1635. As a child he survived smallpox, but was scarred physically and emotionally for life. When Hooke was thirteen years old, his father, John Hooke, a clergyman hanged himself. Young Robert had much emotional pain in his youth. Receiving a 100 pound inheritance from his father, Robert Hooke became an orphan of sorts, being sent off to London. In London was the painter Sir Peter Lely, and there, Hooke was to develop his artistic skills.
