EXCERPTS:
The Frontiers of Space
DESCARTES
Descartes was born in 1596, a sickly child who lost
his mother when very young, so he was allowed to stay in bed every
morning until 11:00am, a practice he tried to continue all his life.
Descartes was in fact a mercenary,
He fought for the German Protestants, the French Catholics
and anyone else who would pay him.
He was very much concerned about
his image. He was entirely
self-convinced that he was right,
also when he was wrong and his first
reaction would be that the other one was
stupid that hadn't understood it.
FERMEAT
ISAAC NEWTON
Calculus
Newton himself decided not to publish,
but just to circulate his thoughts among friends.
He preferred to think about theology
and alchemy rather than mathematics.
