EXPLORING QUESTIONS FOR THE AGES SOLVED BY STROKES OF GENIUS

“Dare to think!” This was the catch cry of the Enlightenment over 300 years ago
when the breakaway from religion towards a more secular society began. Isaac
Newton led the Scientific Revolution which transformed society for the next 300
years with progress not yet dreamed of. Stephen Hawking exemplified the secular
face of the new society by not only revealing a new cosmology but linking the
very large scale theories of Einstein’s relativity with the small scale quantum
mechanics. Yet what was the mind set of Newton’s age compared to Hawking’s age?
What were the changes in society and philosophy during those 300 years and were
they all linked to science? What revelations has science given us today that
Newton did not know? What would have changed his mind set?

This book represents a slice of history, philosophy of ideas and even reality
mixed with their personal lives and of course, mathematics and science evolving
over those 300 years. Revealed are the truly astonishing stories of five of the
greatest scientific thinkers who ever lived…

Yet some were also great philosophers providing rich insights into the cosmos.
Their stories class them as true founders of scientific revolutions, battlers
with feats of endurance, and triumphs to rise to great heights. Through the
personal tragedies of Curie and Hawking to the intellectual battles fought by
Einstein, Newton and Leibniz these five scientists inspire us.

It is hoped that everyone - students , science enthusiasts or anyone who feels
left behind in understanding the astonishing insights of the cosmos will be
rewarded in reading about -not only the science - but the lives and times of
these great people and the great knowledge they left to help us solve the
riddles of the universe.

Shortly after Hawking’s passing in 2018 it was reported that some of his
inspiring words were beamed towards a black hole: “Be brave, be determined,
overcome the odds – it can be done”

THE GREAT THINKERS


NEWTON

Isaac Newton lived at a time when England was full of political and religious
upheaval. Newton was said to be the greatest thinker of his time – the leading
scientist and mathematician in the 17th century, regarded in awe since. Newton
is famous for having seen an apple fall from a tree before havin...


LEIBNIZ

His big achievements were the invention of the calculus independently from
Newton – both are credited with the invention of calculus despite the intense
dispute between them fought out in the corridors of the Royal Society. Newton
himself was then President of the Royal Society – today’s modern lega...


CURIE

It was early 1899. On the forest floor in Bohemia (now the Czech Republic) lay a
pile of ‘waste’ black rock called Pitchblende which had already been mined for
uranium. A wagon full of the black rock mixed with pine needles and dirt was now
arriving at Marie Curie’s makeshift laboratory – a shed in ...


EINSTEIN

Albert Einstein was born on 14 March 1879 and grew up in Munich. He was educated
under the German system of Bildung meaning ‘formation’ under which physics,
mathematics and philosophy were blended to allow “the individual to mature into
independence and responsibility” (See next Chapter, Einstein’s ...


HAWKING

Stephen Hawking was born 8 January 1942 on the 300th anniversary of Galileo’s
death (and close to the anniversary of Newton’s birth ) into an interesting
family who lived in North London. Although his father was a doctor, he came from
a line of Yorkshire farmers (like Newton’s family – farmers do sp...
