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.

Hooke made many discoveries in microanatomy, and discovered the porous structure of cork which he termed "cells." He viewed cells simply as a container, however, and not as the basic unit of life. He also, like Boyle , performed numerous experiments with the air pump and showed that air was necessary for life and combustion. Hooke reveled in contradicting Newton Boyle Newton

Extractions: "Saturday April the 10 th 1697…I began this day to write the history of my own life…" At the fag end of life, an old man, sitting over the desk opens a diary. Under the dull light, he begins writing the gist of his entire life: "…Wherein I will comprise as many remarkable passages, as I can remember or collect out of such memorials as I have kept in writing, or are in the Registers of the Royal Society; together with all my Inventions, Experiments, Discoveries, Discourses, which I have made, the time when the manner how, and means by which, with the success and effect of them, together with the State of my Health, my Employments and Studies, my good or bad Fortune, my Friends and Enemies,…all which shall be the truth of the Matter of Fact, so far as I can be informed by my Memorials or my own Memory, which Rule I resolve not to transgress." That old man was the great, world-renowned scientist the world now knows as Robert Hooke. The Son of a Clergyman A Brilliant Brain in A Fragile Frame Writes his first biographer, Waller : "…all this time his chief food was milk, or things made thereof, and fruits; no flesh in the least agreeing with his weak constitution."

Extractions: Robert Hooke, nació frente a la costa meridional de Inglaterra. La desolación de la costa rocosa donde nació, refleja la soledad de su infancia. Fue un niño sensible y enfermizo que no podía correr ni jugar con los otros pequeños. Confinado en su hogar, desarrolló su mente inventiva haciendo toda clase de juguetes mecánicos, como relojes de sol, molinos de agua y barcos. Su padre, bondadoso cura rural, era entonces demasiado pobre para enviar a su hijo a la escuela. Enseñó al inteligente Hooke la lectura, la escritura y la aritmética, así como los clásicos. La súbita muerte de su padre, cuando Hooke tenía apenas trece años de edad, fue un golpe trágico. Desaparecido su único amigo quedó, completamente atenido a sus propios recursos. Hooke se fue a Londres para convertirse en aprendiz de artista. Por último, pudo usar sus pequeños ahorros y asistir a la escuela de Westminster, donde demostró ser un estudiante de provecho. Su aptitud para las matemáticas era tal, que dominó los primeros seis libros de geometría en una sola semana. Su aprovechamiento en los estudios le mereció la pronta admisión en la Universidad de Oxford. Tenía dieciocho años de edad cuando ingresó en Oxford, y su pobreza fue en el fondo, una ventaja. El tiempo que utilizaban los otros estudiantes en diversiones frívolas, lo dedicaba él a ganarse la vida. Su aplicación en los estudios y su genio científico incipiente atrajeron pronto la atención de uno de sus maestros, Boyle, el notable químico que realizó en su laboratorio algunos experimentos sobre la naturaleza de los gases. Hooke se consideró el más afortunado de los jóvenes del mundo cuando Boyle le dio el puesto de ayudante de laboratorio para auxiliarlo en sus experimentos. Así nació entre los dos científicos una amistad cordial que duró toda la vida.

Extractions: Hooke, Robert 1634-1703 H ooke was an English experimental physicist, but his versatility led him into several fields. He was the first to state clearly that the motion of heavenly bodies must be regarded as a mathematical problem and he approached in a remarkable manner the discovery of universal gravitation. He conferred the name "cell" on the units of plant structure. This has been retained although used in a sense different from what Hooke intended. He used a "magnifying glass to examine everything he could lay his hands on," and wrote a large book called Micrographia (1665). He first recognized that charcoal, cork, and plant tissues were "all perforated and porous, much like a honeycomb." To these pores he gave the name cells but the cell walls were not considered constituent parts of the cells. He stated "for in several of these vegetables whilst green, I have with my microscope plainly enough discovered these cells filled with juices, and by degrees sweating them out." He was interested in "slicing up indiscriminately animal and plant tissues and studying their structures with the aid of his new toy." Hooke had a strong temper and made virulent attacks on Newton and other scientists claiming that their published work was due to him.

Extractions: Biografías Hooke, Robert Ilustración pendiente ísico y matemático inglés (1635-1703), también astrónomo y filósofo; nacido en la isla de Wight. Se le debe el enunciado de una ley (ley de Hooke) según la cual la deformación de un material elástico es proporcional a la fuerza deformante. Llevó a cabo una intensa actividad de investigación y de divulgación científica. Descubrió la quinta estrella de la constelación de Orión (1664) y sugirió por primera vez la rotación de Júpiter sobre su eje; descubrió que podía medirse la fuerza gravitatoria con un péndulo. Trató de demostrar el movimiento elíptico de la Tierra alrededor del Sol. Expuso los fundamentos de la teoría ondulatoria de la luz y describió la naturaleza molecular del aire. Estudió en la Universidad de Oxford. Fue ayudante del físico británico Robert Boyle, a quien ayudó en la construcción de la bomba de aire. En 1662 fue nombrado director de experimentación en la Sociedad Real de Londres, cargo que desempeñó hasta su muerte. Fue elegido miembro de la Sociedad Real en 1663 y recibió la cátedra Gresham de geometría en la Universidad de Oxford en 1665. Después del gran incendio de Londres en 1666, fue designado supervisor de esta ciudad, y diseñó varios edificios, como la casa Montague y el hospital Bethlehem. Hooke realizó algunos de los descubrimientos e invenciones más importantes de su tiempo, aunque en muchos casos no consiguió terminarlos. Formuló la teoría del movimiento planetario como un problema de mecánica, y comprendió, pero no desarrolló matemáticamente, la teoría fundamental con la que Isaac Newton formuló la ley de la gravitación. Fue el primero en utilizar el resorte espiral para la regulación de los relojes y desarrolló mejoras en los relojes de péndulo. Hooke también fue pionero en realizar investigaciones microscópicas y publicó sus observaciones, entre las que se encuentra el descubrimiento de las células vegetales.

http://www.polybiblio.com/watbooks/2505.html

Extractions: 'Animadversions was not a negative work, but rather an assertion of Hooke's confidence in the potential for instrumental advance ... Indeed the central proposal in Animadversions was audaciously ambitious and breathtaking in its originality... Hooke now designed an equatorial mount for a full-scale astronomical quadrant... The remarkable design for the equatorial quadrant illustrated some of the most significant features of Hooke's mechanical repertoire in relation to precision instruments - tangent screw adjustment, micrometer screw division, the bubble level, the universal joint, the application of an equatorial mount to a quadrant, and the design of a sweeping clockwork drive... Hooke has not been given credit for his influence on the first Greenwich instruments, partly on account of the animosity between him and Flamsteed' (ibid).
