Hooke memorial window, St. Helen's, Bishopsgate, City of London. Chronology of Robert Hooke. Robert Hooke was born at Freshwater, Isle of Wight, son of John Hooke, curate at All Saints' Church. The church stands at the end of what is now Hooke Road, which also has the Hooke Museum. Robert Hooke was one of the most brilliant and versatile of seventeenth-century English scientists, but he is also one of the lesser known; his persona and his contributions are far outweighed in public perception by those of Newton and of Wren. This is unfair. No likeness exists of Robert Hooke. The picture at left is formulaic; it was the commemorative window in St Helen's Bishopsgate, lost in the IRA Bishopsgate bombing. Hooke was origianlly buried there, but his bones were moved to 'somewhere in North London' in the 19th century, so his final burial place is unknown. He is described by two people. Firstly his friend John Aubrey, on Hooke in middle life: '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. He haz a delicate head of haire, browne, and of an excellent moist curle. He is and ever was temperate and moderate in dyet, etc.' Richard Waller knew the elderly Hooke, embittered by his controversies with Christiaan Huyghens and his feeling that he had been cheated by Newton:

Freshwater, Isle of Wight, England, July 18, 1635, d. London, March 3, 1703] Hooke, like most other scientists of the 17th century, investigated what are now regarded as several different branches of science. Hooke's law is that stretching is directly proportional to force, a discovery in materials science. Hooke introduced the word cell to describe tiny compartments in cork. His invention of a compound microscope with a separate light source enabled him to observe not only "cells" but also the tiny parts of insects and to confirm the existence of microbes. Hooke's theory of combustion preceded the phlogiston idea by 35 years or so and was closer to what we now know to be true. Hooke's correct guess that gravity obeys an inverse square law contributed to a famous feud with Newton, who had actually proved this result. Hooke was one of the first to recognize a double star; he also proposed a wave theory of light.

14. England's Leonardo - Robert Hooke Robert Hooke (1635 1703) - inventor, Natural Philosopher, architect, friendand collaborator with Wren, can justifiably be claimed as England s Leonardo. http://www.rod.beavon.clara.net/leonardo.htm

This lecture is from Proceedings of the Royal Institution of Great Britain, 239 - 275 (1996). It was also given at Westminster School as the 1997 Sir Henry Tizard Memorial Lecture. England's Leonardo: Robert Hooke (1635-1703) and the art of experiment in Restoration England ALLAN CHAPMAN No portrait or contemporary visual likeness survives of Robert Hooke, though when the German antiquarian and scholar Zacharias von Uffenbach visited the Royal Society in 1710, he specifically mentioned being shown the portraits of 'Boyle and Hoock', which were said to be good likenesses. 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. He haz a delicate head of haire, browne, and of an excellent moist curle. He is and ever was temperate and modera.te in dyet, etc.

Seeing Further, 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.

No. 183: ROBERT HOOKE by John H. Lienhard Click here for audio of Episode 183. Today, a conflict rises as science changes form. The University of Houston's College of Engineering presents this series about the machines that make our civilization run, and the people whose ingenuity created them. S hortly before Robert Hooke was born in 1635, Francis Bacon made his famous statement that nature can be commanded only if we obey her that we have to understand nature before we can deal with it. The point was that technology has to be served by science. Scientists followed Bacon's advice, and they began to interact with technology as they never had before. Robert Hooke was in the dead center of this movement. He was a generalist of astonishing range. He had important and lasting things to say about optics, mechanics, geography, architecture, materials science, clock-making, paleontology, and microbiology. He was a virtuoso scientist with one foot solidly planted in the technologies around him. Isaac Newton was only seven years younger than Hooke, but he shaped the science that followed Bacon. Newton worked alone and with a kind of severe, rigorous abstraction from the technologies, which he saw as worldly distractions. He tried to endow science with the purity of mathematics. Newton valued intensity and rigor far more than he valued Hooke's breadth of understanding.
