This may be of interest to "scientists" on the forum

Quote:
A MANUSCRIPT charting the birth of modern science that was lost for centuries has been rediscovered at the bottom of a cupboard.

The 520-page document, an account of meetings and debates at the Royal Society from 1661 to 1691, was written by Robert Hooke, one of the foremost 17th-century scientists and a bitter enemy of Sir Isaac Newton. It is described as the “discovery of a generation”.

Unfortunately, Sir Isaac developed a fairly long list of enemies. Though brilliant, he was not a very pleasant person.
