England’s da Vinci

Robert Hooke was a British polymath. During his lifetime, he was active as a physicist, astronomer, geologist, meteorologist, and architect. He is often credited as the first scientist to visualize a microorganism using a microscope that he designed himself. Apart from devising Hooke’s law about elasticity of objects, he was put in charge for surveying the city for reconstruction after the great fire of 1666 devastated London. Based on his multidimensional career, he is sometimes also called “England’s Leonardo da Vinci”
