| 单词 | Hooke |
| 例句 | The following year, Isaac Newton published his epic work on light and colour, Opticks, having deliberately sat on it for thirty years, waiting for Hooke to die. The Scientists 2003-10-21T00:00:00Z The most famous of the microscopical discoveries reported by Hooke in his masterpiece was the ‘cellular’ structure of slices of cork viewed under the microscope. The Scientists 2003-10-21T00:00:00Z This gives an accurate indication of Hooke’s intellectual standing at the time, as well as an idea of his unprepossessing appearance. The Scientists 2003-10-21T00:00:00Z Any of this would have been enough to make Hooke famous and delight readers such as Samuel Pepys. The Scientists 2003-10-21T00:00:00Z But for the individuals caught up in it—for Galileo, Hooke, Boyle and their colleagues—it represents a series of sudden, urgent transformations. The Invention of Science 2015-09-17T00:00:00Z Hooke also did away with the vortices, introducing the idea of what we would now call ‘action at a distance’—gravity reaching out across empty space to tug on the Moon or the planets. The Scientists 2003-10-21T00:00:00Z In May 1664, Hooke was a candidate for the post of professor of geometry at Gresham College, but lost out on the casting vote of the Lord Mayor. The Scientists 2003-10-21T00:00:00Z Hooke had shown that the louse was every bit as complicated a creature as a lizard. The Invention of Science 2015-09-17T00:00:00Z Back in January 1684, after a meeting of the Royal Society, Halley had fallen into conversation with Christopher Wren and Robert Hooke about planetary orbits. The Scientists 2003-10-21T00:00:00Z Like many other poor students at the time, Hooke also helped to make ends meet by working as servant to one of the wealthier undergraduates. The Scientists 2003-10-21T00:00:00Z Robert Hooke was a sickly child who was not expected to live. The Scientists 2003-10-21T00:00:00Z Before the mid-seventeenth century, gears were laid out and cut by hand; Hooke designed the first machine to produce identical gears, thus making possible the mass production of machinery. The Invention of Science 2015-09-17T00:00:00Z He got on well with Boyle, becoming his literary agent and translating Boyle’s books, but unfortunately he took a dislike to Hooke. The Scientists 2003-10-21T00:00:00Z Robert Hooke was born on the stroke of noon on 18 July 1635, seven years before Galileo Galilei died. The Scientists 2003-10-21T00:00:00Z Were the discoveries of Galileo, Hooke and Huygens irrelevant? The Invention of Science 2015-09-17T00:00:00Z When Oldenburg mischievously reported an exaggerated account of Hooke’s views to Newton, deliberately trying to stir up trouble, he succeeded better than he could have expected. The Scientists 2003-10-21T00:00:00Z Several factors conspired to prevent Hooke building on the achievements described in Micrographia to the extent that he might have done. The Scientists 2003-10-21T00:00:00Z Ironically, though, while Newton was distracted from following up his ideas about gravity, in 1674 Hooke had struck to the heart of the problem of orbital motion. The Scientists 2003-10-21T00:00:00Z One of his contemporaries at Oxford, a man with a keen interest in science, was Christopher Wren, three years older than Hooke and another product of Westminster School. The Scientists 2003-10-21T00:00:00Z Robert Hooke’s elder brother became a grocer in Newport, where he served as Mayor at one time, but hanged himself at the age of 46—we do not know exactly why. The Scientists 2003-10-21T00:00:00Z Robert Hooke evidently saw clouds perfectly clearly when he asked, ‘What is the reason of the various Figure of the Clouds, undulated, hairy, crisped, coyled, confus’d, and the like?’ The Invention of Science 2015-09-17T00:00:00Z If Newton went to such lengths to try to play down Hooke’s role in history, Hooke must have been an impressive scientist indeed. The Scientists 2003-10-21T00:00:00Z Hooke’s imagery is misleading—and he was misled by it. The Invention of Science 2015-09-17T00:00:00Z In Robert Hooke’s diary for 11 January that year, he writes that Halley had spoken to him ‘of going in Middleton’s ship to discover’. The Scientists 2003-10-21T00:00:00Z ‘The main Design,’ wrote Hooke in 1665, of his own efforts and those of the Royal Society, was ‘a reformation in Philosophy’. The Invention of Science 2015-09-17T00:00:00Z We can now see why Newton regarded this whole business with such irritation—he was far more worried about his future position in Cambridge than about being polite to Hooke. The Scientists 2003-10-21T00:00:00Z Hooke pointed out the error and suggested that the correct orbit followed by the falling object, assuming it could pass through the solid Earth without resistance, would be a kind of shrinking ellipse. The Scientists 2003-10-21T00:00:00Z The only one that got lost, never to be seen again, was the one of Hooke; no portrait of him has survived. The Scientists 2003-10-21T00:00:00Z First, though, a quick skim through the rest of Hooke’s life. The Scientists 2003-10-21T00:00:00Z After considerable wrangling, it turned out that the Lord Mayor was not entitled to vote on the appointment, and in 1665 Hooke took over the post, which he retained for the rest of his life. The Scientists 2003-10-21T00:00:00Z When Robert’s father John Hooke died in 1648, after a long illness, Robert was 13 years old. The Scientists 2003-10-21T00:00:00Z On the recommendation of Robert Boyle, the German-born Henry Oldenburg got the first job and Robert Hooke the second. The Scientists 2003-10-21T00:00:00Z In 1683, Halley, Hooke, and Wren were dining in London when the conversation turned to the motions of celestial objects. A Short History of Nearly Everything 2003-05-06T00:00:00Z Hooke, an older and well-established scientist, was decidedly miffed at receiving less credit from the young whipper-snapper than he thought he was due, and said as much to his friends. The Scientists 2003-10-21T00:00:00Z The others were sceptical, and Wren offered to give Hooke a book to the value of 40 shillings if he could produce the proof in two months. The Scientists 2003-10-21T00:00:00Z Initially because of his ill health, Hooke’s formal education was neglected. The Scientists 2003-10-21T00:00:00Z Although he was too young to be involved directly in the Civil War, the repercussions of the conflict did affect Hooke. The Scientists 2003-10-21T00:00:00Z The implication, carefully cultivated by Newton, is that he had the inverse square law by 1666, long before any discussions between Halley, Hooke and Wren. The Scientists 2003-10-21T00:00:00Z Hooke, Glanvill, Hobbes, Power and Wallis were participants in this transformation; but their understanding of what was taking place was shared by well-informed bystanders. The Invention of Science 2015-09-17T00:00:00Z Surely, because Hooke was a little man with a twisted back. The Scientists 2003-10-21T00:00:00Z Hooke and Newton were both, as far as their science is concerned, entirely seventeenth-century figures, though they did both live into the new century. The Scientists 2003-10-21T00:00:00Z Through this work, Hooke came up with the idea of a new kind of pocket watch regulated by a balance spring. The Scientists 2003-10-21T00:00:00Z We know a great deal about Hooke’s later life from a diary which he started to keep in 1672. The Scientists 2003-10-21T00:00:00Z In lectures given at Gresham College around this time, but not published until after his death, Hooke also specifically recognized that this implied major transformations in the surface of the Earth. The Scientists 2003-10-21T00:00:00Z Hooke may actually have hoped to see the physical basis of memory, the ‘continued Chain of Ideas coyled in the Repository of the Brain’. The Invention of Science 2015-09-17T00:00:00Z Hooke, though, told the other two that he could derive all the laws of planetary motion starting out from the assumption of an inverse square law. The Scientists 2003-10-21T00:00:00Z Nevertheless, it has been claimed that the innovations of Galileo, Hooke and Huygens made possible the geared machinery of the Industrial Revolution. The Invention of Science 2015-09-17T00:00:00Z The same obsessiveness would surface in his later life, whether in his duties at the Royal Mint or in his many disputes with people such as Hooke and Gottfried Leibnitz, the other inventor of calculus. The Scientists 2003-10-21T00:00:00Z This could have been the forerunner of the kind of chronometer that would have been accurate and dependable enough to determine longitude at sea, and Hooke claimed to have worked out how to achieve this. The Scientists 2003-10-21T00:00:00Z J. G. Crowther has neatly summed up the real root of the problem, which Oldenburg fanned into flame: ‘Hooke could not understand what tact had to do with science...Newton regarded discoveries as private property’. The Scientists 2003-10-21T00:00:00Z The telescope itself provides a form of space travel; as Hooke put it, a ‘transmigration into heaven, even whil’st we remain here upon earth in the flesh’. The Invention of Science 2015-09-17T00:00:00Z Page after page of the minutes of the early years of the Royal contain variations on the themes of ‘Mr Hooke produced...’ The Scientists 2003-10-21T00:00:00Z He combined practical and theoretical knowledge, as Hooke had in watchmaking. The Invention of Science 2015-09-17T00:00:00Z In a correspondence beginning in 1668, Hooke implored him to switch to telescopic sights, but Hevelius stubbornly refused, claiming that he could do just as well with open sights. The Scientists 2003-10-21T00:00:00Z As a bonus, Hooke filled a space at the end of the book with drawings based on some of his astronomical observations. The Scientists 2003-10-21T00:00:00Z I have already discussed his work on light and colour, which led to the famous row with Hooke. The Scientists 2003-10-21T00:00:00Z At the beginning of the year he finally took up the appointment, and at the age of 29, Hooke also published his greatest work, Micrographia. The Scientists 2003-10-21T00:00:00Z The reference to Descartes is simply there to put Hooke in his place by suggesting that the priority Hooke claims actually belongs to Descartes. The Scientists 2003-10-21T00:00:00Z Along the way, though, he managed, as we shall see, to pack even more into his life than Hooke and Newton combined. The Scientists 2003-10-21T00:00:00Z The three people who between them established both the scientific method itself and the pre-eminence of British science at the end of the seventeenth century were Robert Hooke, Edmond Halley and Isaac Newton. The Scientists 2003-10-21T00:00:00Z On the scientific side, apart from the work on gravity, in 1678 Hooke came up with his best-known piece of work, the discovery of the law of elasticity which bears his name. The Scientists 2003-10-21T00:00:00Z Both Hooke and Newton may not have realized it had been omitted, as they later refered to it in print. The Invention of Science 2015-09-17T00:00:00Z Hooke himself died on 3 March 1703, and his funeral was attended by all the Fellows of the Royal Society then present in London. The Scientists 2003-10-21T00:00:00Z I even believed I could now detect the slightest trace of a bent back – contemporary descriptions refer to Hooke's curvature of the spine. Mistaken identity 2010-06-18T23:06:00Z The records attributed the portrait to Mary Beale, whom documentary evidence shows to have executed a lost portrait of Hooke's colleague and friend Robert Boyle. Mistaken identity 2010-06-18T23:06:00Z One Hooke expert even pointed out to me the family resemblance between my portrait and a photograph of a known descendent. Mistaken identity 2010-06-18T23:06:00Z He and his associate Robert Hooke wanted it to double as a huge static telescope, with an opening in its crown and lenses and mirrors employed to watch the heavens circling above. Porgy and Bess; the Prince Consort; Live Music Sculpture – review 2012-07-14T23:06:10Z Meanwhile, Robert Hooke's more down-to-earth approach was governed by a determination "to facilitate and improve the present way of manual arts". The Arts of Industry in the Age of?Enlightenment by Celina Fox | Book review 2010-03-20T00:06:00Z In 2002 I was completing a biography of the scientist, polymath and close friend of Sir Christopher Wren, Robert Hooke. Mistaken identity 2010-06-18T23:06:00Z So when I came upon a little-known late-17th-century portrait in the Natural History Museum, which matched descriptions I had of what Hooke looked like in middle age, it instantly caught my attention. Mistaken identity 2010-06-18T23:06:00Z I am still on the lookout for that lost portrait of Hooke, just as Stanley Wells will keep looking for something more lively than the Chandos portrait to identify as the likeness of Shakespeare. Mistaken identity 2010-06-18T23:06:00Z His English contemporary, Robert Hooke, published “Micrographia” in 1665, full of drawings of things too small to see with the naked eye, such as a flea’s amour-like plating and the compound eyes of a fly.

Our Legal Heritage : 600-1776 King Aethelbert - King George III That he imagined the duchess furnished the materials for her Apology, which Hooke wrote, and Hooke furnished the words and the order, and all that in which the art of writing consists. The Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides with Samuel Johnson, LL.D. Of all the ideas that human reason can form, Hooke considered the simplest and the most fundamental to be the geometrical concepts of point and straight line. Man or Matter Hooke called Cape Evans, ‘All well—Aurora,’ etc.; South: the story of Shackleton's 1914-1917 expedition It was Hooke who brought a Catholic priest to attend the deathbed of Pope; a proceeding which excited such bitter inclination in the infidel Bolingbroke. The Letters of Horace Walpole, Earl of Orford — Volume 1 At his death, Hooke had thousands of pounds stored in an iron chest. Our Legal Heritage : 600-1776 King Aethelbert - King George III And here a good lecture of Mr. Hooke's about the trade of felt- making, very pretty. The Diary of Samuel Pepys For his investigation Hooke chose the point of a needle and a knife-edge, as providing the best representatives among physical objects of point and straight line. Man or Matter Hooke says that the conditions are normal now. South: the story of Shackleton's 1914-1917 expedition Hooke was himself of that religion, and was also a Quietist, and an enthusiastic follower of Fenelon. The Letters of Horace Walpole, Earl of Orford — Volume 1 The advantages of these telescope sights have been discussed under the article treating of Robert Hooke, but no such advantages were ever recognized by Hevelius. A History of Science — Volume 3 Above all, Mr. Boyle was at the meeting, and above him Mr. Hooke, who is the most, and promises the least, of any man in the world that ever I saw. The Diary of Samuel Pepys In the sketches here reproduced we may see how Hooke made clear to his readers how little these two things, when observed through the microscope, resemble what is seen by the unaided eye. Man or Matter Hooke and Ninnis on several evenings at about 11 o’clock have heard what happened to be faint messages, but unreadable. South: the story of Shackleton's 1914-1917 expedition He also took up the controversy against Hooke as to the superiority of telescopic over plain sights to quadrants, Hooke contending in favor of the plain. A History of Science — Volume 2 Who remembers now that Robert Hooke contested with Newton the discovery of the doctrine of universal gravitation? A History of Science — Volume 3 Richard Lower, Hooke and Hales were probably more influenced by Descartes than by Harvey, and they made notable contributions to experimental physiology in England. The Evolution of Modern Medicine A Series of Lectures Delivered at Yale University on the Silliman Foundation in April, 1913 Compared with the more refined methods of present-day thought, Hooke's procedure may strike us as somewhat primitive. Man or Matter The wireless plant, which had been idle during the months of daylight, had been rigged again, and Hooke resumed his calls to Macquarie Island on February 2. South: the story of Shackleton's 1914-1917 expedition By referring to certain plates in this volume, which reproduce illustrations from Robert Hooke's work on the microscope, it will be seen that quite a high degree of effectiveness had been attained. A History of Science — Volume 2 To Hooke's contemporary, Huygens, who was the originator of the general doctrine of undulation as the explanation of light, Young renders full justice also. A History of Science — Volume 3 Certainly R. Hooke, Fellow of the Royal Society, drew somewhat upon his imagination here, having apparently evolved both engraving and description from his inner consciousness. The Enemies of Books In the present context we are concerned with the historical import of Hooke's procedure. Man or Matter Hooke had the wireless plant running again and was trying daily to get into touch with Macquarie Island, now about eight hundred and fifty miles distant. South: the story of Shackleton's 1914-1917 expedition In this controversy, unlike many others, the blame cannot be laid at Hooke's door. A History of Science — Volume 2 In the latter half of the seventeenth century, through the works of Borelli, Hooke, and Huyghens, it had become plain that circular motions could be accounted for by the laws of Galileo. History of the Conflict Between Religion and Science The idea of applying a spring to the balance-wheel was not original with Huygens, however, as it had been first conceived by Robert Hooke; but Huygens's application made practical Hooke's idea. A History of Science — Volume 2 Hooke, so Goethe would have argued, allowed the microscope to confuse his common sense. Man or Matter Hooke, the wireless operator, now navigates an airship. South: the story of Shackleton's 1914-1917 expedition In justice to Hooke, and in extenuation of his otherwise inexcusable peculiarities of mind, it should be remembered that for many years he suffered from a painful and wasting disease. A History of Science — Volume 2 Hooke exhibited the inflection of a direct motion into a circular by a supervening central attraction. History of the Conflict Between Religion and Science Robert Hooke developed the microscope, and took the first steps towards studying vegetable anatomy, publishing in 1667, among other results, the discovery of the cellular structure of cork. A History of Science — Volume 2 Hence we find Bacon and Hooke already attributing the sensation of warmth to minute fast-moving particles of matter impinging on the skin. Man or Matter Hooke applied the name "cell" for the first time in this connection. A History of Science — Volume 2 Hooke published, among other things, a book of plates and descriptions of his Microscopical Observations, which gives an idea of the advance that had already been made in microscopy in his time. A History of Science — Volume 2 These discoveries of Hooke, Malpighi, and Grew, and the discovery of the circulation of the blood by William Harvey shortly before, had called attention to the similarity of animal and vegetable structures. A History of Science — Volume 2 In this controversy, the subject of which attracted wide attention, Huygens was completely victorious; and Hooke, being unable to refute Huygens's arguments, exhibited such irritability that he increased his already general unpopularity. A History of Science — Volume 2 When we follow Goethe in this way he comes before us in characteristic contrast to Robert Hooke. Man or Matter Hooke, however, never produced his demonstration, and it may well be doubted whether he had found a method which did more than vaguely suggest the law which the observations of Kepler had partially revealed. A History of Science — Volume 2 These plates are made from prints of Hooke's original copper plates, and show that excellent lenses were made even at that time. A History of Science — Volume 2 He thus made practical Hooke's conception, which is without value except as applied by the coiled spring; but, nevertheless, the inventor, as well as the perfector, should receive credit. A History of Science — Volume 2 Hooke was the first curator of the Royal Society, and when anything was to be investigated, usually invented the mechanical devices for doing so. A History of Science — Volume 2 There can be no doubt how Goethe, if the occasion had arisen, would have commented on Hooke's procedure. Man or Matter |
