Hooke was a natural philosopher from England. He was born in July 1635 and died in March 1703.

He was a rather under appreciated scientist of his time, and spent most of his life in conflict with Sir Isaac Newton. Hooke claimed that Newton stolen his work to make his own discoveries which started the rivalry
