The contradiction between Hooke and Newton has a long history. At that time, science was just emerging, and academic disputes could be said to be commonplace. But these two didn't end up quarreling like the others. Both of them are petty masters, and they hold grudges very much. So, two people quarreled in a bar for more than 30 years. Although it ended in Newton's overall victory, it also brought a stain to Newton's life.
/kloc-At the beginning of the 7th century, Hook, who was blind, fell ill and died. After Hook's death, Newton started his revenge work nonstop. Newton, then the president of the Royal Society, used his power to dissolve Hooke's laboratory and Hooke's library, which was not enough. In order to get back at Hooke more thoroughly, Newton destroyed all Hooke's research results and experimental equipment before his death. In the end, Newton, who was still unconvinced, destroyed the only portrait of Hook, and no one knew what Hook looked like anymore.
In the days that followed, Hooke was always described as a suspicious, sick and ambitious person. It was not until modern times, with the help of some scientists, that he was rehabilitated and restored to the status of a great scientist. History is fair after all, and now Hooke has recovered his due evaluation and honor, while Newton has gained a stain on his life.
