Hooke Memorial at the
foot of The Monument
(January 31st 2007;
more)
Robert
Hooke (18 July 1635 - 3 March 1703) - natural philosopher, inventor,
architect....
Robert
Hooke is one of the most neglected natural philosophers of all time. The
inventor of, amongst other things, the iris diaphragm in cameras, the
universal joint used in motor vehicles, the balance wheel in a watch, the
originator of the word 'cell' in biology, he was Surveyor of the City of
London after the Great Fire of 1666, architect, experimenter, worked in
astronomy - yet is known mostly for Hooke's Law. He fell out with Newton,
and certainly had a difficult temperament. He deserves more from History
than he received in his lifetime.
