Into Unscientific

shade.

Looking at the Mavericks and Hook who were quite gunpowder-like, Xu Yun quickly recalled the history he knew.

I don't know if it was the reason for the Mavericks' interference. Later generations are not very detailed about Hooker's specific resume, basically they just mentioned it in passing.

Most of the time when Hu Ke is mentioned, it is the same as mentioning Yuelun just to set off faker, just to praise or belittle Lao Niu.

So for a while, Xu Yun really couldn't think of when Maverick and Hook met, so he could only find clues to infer.

"In 1665. Hooker was a professor at Gresham College. His hometown, the Isle of Wight, is also in the south of England, which is completely in two directions from Lincolnshire. And in the second half of the year, "Microscopic Image" was published."

Xu Yun dug out Hu Ke's more public resumes one by one, compared them one by one in his mind, and suddenly his eyes lit up as he thought about it:

"Wait, publish Microscopic Images?"

In Britain in the seventeenth century, the right to define science was firmly in the hands of the Royal Society, which was a standard academic monopoly.

Anyone who wants to publish academic books must first obtain the approval of the society, and secondly, print through the publishing house under the name of the society.

At this moment, there is only one publishing house affiliated to the Royal Society, and it happens to be in Lincolnshire!

Thinking of this, Xu Yun's goal gradually moved on the two of them:

"In other words, Hooker should be going to Lincolnshire to discuss publishing matters, so he has no reason to fight the Mavericks at this time."

Um, is it because of the grievances between Cambridge and Oxford? "

Students who have studied as exchange students at Cambridge University should know it.

Cambridge and Oxford, as one of the two most famous colleges in the UK, have grievances and entanglements between them that can even be traced back to before the establishment of the school.

Oxford is the main city in the Thames Valley. It is said that it is the place where ancient cattle waded through, hence the name Oxford (Oxford).

well known.

Before the 12th century, there were no universities in Britain, and people went to France and other European countries to study.

In 1167, some scholars returned from Paris and gathered in Oxford. With the support of the king and the church, the current Oxford University was formed.

In 1209, a student of Oxford University escaped after accidentally killing a woman while practicing archery, which intensified the conflict with the citizens of Oxford.

Then the two scholars and several classmates who lived with the student were hanged by the citizens of Oxford without consulting the church (the church often gives priority to pardoning scholars).

Then the contradictions intensified, triggering violent conflicts between schools and citizens.

During the conflict, some teachers and students fled north to Cambridge, where they began to devote themselves to cultural and academic research with the support of the local church.

Thus formed the present University of Cambridge.

Therefore, the two schools have had a lot of grievances from the very beginning, and the school badges of both sides are even opposite:

Both Cambridge and Oxford have a book on their badges, but the Cambridge one is closed and the Oxford one is open.

During the English Civil War, Oxford was the headquarters of Charles I and the Royalists, while Cambridge was the base of the Parliamentary Army, and they became politically opposed.

Therefore, if it is said that Hooker saw the Mavericks' college uniform on the road because of the school's hostility

Then this is a very dramatic thing.

And just as Xu Yun was thinking about it, Hu Ke next to him spoke again:

"Boy, how is Baro doing recently?"

Hearing Hook mention his teacher's name for the second time, Mavericks vaguely understood something:

"The teacher is in good health, Mr. Hook, do you know each other?"

When Hook heard this, a sneer suddenly rose from the corner of his mouth, matching his crooked body with Kasimov's feeling:

"It's more than acquaintance? I didn't get a bachelor's degree back then. Forget it, it's meaningless to talk to you, a student.

How about this, you hand over something for me. "

As he spoke, Hook took out a piece of paper from his body, on which several lines of words were densely written:

"I don't have Barrow's address, if you know where he is send him the question and let him have a look.

If he can't figure it out, according to our original bet, he will resign his position as Professor Lucas.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you can't find him or he plays dead, I will pay a personal visit after the Black Death is over.

In short, there is no way to escape, and it is the best end for him to get lost in despair. "

Hearing Hook's villainous words, Maverick's face suddenly sank.

Professor Lucas.

This is not a personal name, but an honorary position at the University of Cambridge.

It is awarded to researchers related to mathematics and physics, and only one person is awarded at a time. The owner of this chair is called "Professor Lucas".

In a sense, this is somewhat similar to the 'shadow' in the Legend of the Eyes of Five Villages:

There may be four or five shadow-level combat powers in a village, but there is always only one person who can truly be called a shadow to represent the highest honor.

Mavericks' tutor, Isaac Barrow, is Professor Lucas in this area, that is, the "shadow"—yes, Mavericks' math teacher is also named Isaac.

After all, the West is not like the native land. They typically have fewer names and more surnames, so it is quite normal to have the same name.

The relationship between Maverick and Barrow is very close. According to the decryption of his manuscript after his death, Barrow has even obtained the product and quotient and the differential theorem of the two functions at this time.

But in the end he still passed on this part of his knowledge to his disciples, making a great contribution to the establishment of calculus.

According to the historical trend, Barrow Society voluntarily resigned from the position of Professor Lucas in 1669 and recommended Maverick to succeed him.

If William is the well-deserved top1 in the hearts of the Mavericks, Barrow, Stoke, the current Lisa and the future Harley should be able to belong to the top2.

Therefore, when he suddenly heard Hooker's rude words, the Maverick's heart immediately became angry.

He briefly checked the letter that Hook had handed him, and after hastily scanning a few lines, a trace of astonishment and uncertainty flashed in his eyes.

Then he raised his head suddenly, and shouted at Hook who had turned away:

"Mr. Hook, please wait a moment!"

Hearing this, Hook stood still, lifted his robe that had already touched the ground, and turned to look at Maverick:

"Anything else?"

Xiao Niu first glanced at Xu Yun who was at the side, took a deep breath, and said:

"Mr. Hook, you don't need to hand over your question to the teacher, as long as you give me five days, I can solve the answer!"

Note:

The matter between Barrow and Hooker is actually very strange, not to mention it has something to do with Newton, it also involves Hooker's graduation and Barrow's resignation, but almost no one in China has mentioned it.

Kind of puzzling, but something is definitely true, scratching my head.
