0:10
A large decorative room where candle
0:12
light flickers across the faces of
0:14
England's finest minds. The air is thick
0:17
with anticipation. Robert Hook stands at
0:20
a table meticulously arranging his
0:22
strange brass instrument called compound
0:25
microscope.
0:27
Christopher Ren, a brilliant architect
0:28
and Hook's close friend, stands by his
0:31
side. Ren whispered, "You have shown me
0:34
the BS on a fly's food and the crystal
0:37
latice of snowflakes. But these men,
0:41
they still think the skies are the only
0:43
frontier." Who quietly replied with
0:46
conviction, "Then tonight we redraw the
0:49
map of wonder."
0:51
Sir William Broner, president of the
0:53
Royal Society, calls the meeting to
0:55
order.
0:57
Broner announced, "Gentlemen, we shall
0:59
now hear from our curator of
1:01
experiments, Mr. Robert Hook." "Mr.
1:04
Hook, what marvels do you bring us this
1:06
evening?" He steps forward, gesturing to
1:10
the microscope, his voice rich with
1:12
passion. "Gentlemen, I call this
1:15
instrument a microscope. It's a key to a
1:18
new kingdom, a world that exists beyond
1:21
our naked eye. Then he carefully places
1:24
a thin slice of cork under the
1:26
microscope's lens.
1:28
He lits a small candle, its flame
1:31
casting a glow on the instrument.
1:34
He adjusts the focus on a large white
1:36
screen. A magnified image appears, fuzzy
1:40
at first, then sharpening into a
1:41
honeycomb pattern of tiny box-like
1:43
structures.
1:45
Gasps rippled through the room. "What
1:48
are these little bricks?" asked the
1:50
president.
1:52
"No, Mr. President," Hook replied
1:54
triumphantly. "I call themselves like
1:56
the small rooms in a monastery, and
1:59
these are the basic building blocks of
2:00
this cork. I believe I believe all plans
2:05
and perhaps all living things are made
2:08
of them."
2:10
Hook holding up a copy of his book
2:12
Microraphia with the cover showing
2:15
detailed illustrations.
2:18
In this book, you will find the
2:20
intricate eye of a fly, the complex
2:22
sting of a bee, the structure of
2:24
snowflakes under magnification.
2:27
Nature's perfection dwarfs our
2:29
craftsmanship. The room falls silent.
2:33
The flickering candle light dances
2:35
across the projected image of the cock's
2:37
cell. Broner said, "Mr. Hook, you have
2:41
not merely showed us a new world. You
2:44
have revealed the architecture of
2:46
existence."
2:48
Years later, a Dutch cloth merchant
2:50
named Anthony Van Levenhawk wrote to the
2:53
Royal Society describing animal cules
2:56
seen through his handmade lenses. It was
2:59
Hook's job as the society's curator of
3:02
experiments to confirm or deny such
3:05
findings. His validation not only sealed
3:08
Levven Hook's legacy but also laid the
3:11
foundation for the science of
3:12
microbiology.
3:14
Together these two men connected only by
3:17
letters proved that the greatest
3:19
discoveries weren't in the heavens but
3:22
in the unseen worlds all around us.
