Christiaan Huygens He was born on 1629 He died on 1695 He was born in Holland, France

Info on Christiaan Huygens He was second only to Newton as the greatest mechanist of his era He was much more famous for his physical theories and inventions He developed laws of motion before newton Such as the inverse square law of gravitation Also the centripetal force And last the treatment of solid bodies rather than point approximations

Christiaan’s greatest inventions Huygens is famous for his inventions of clocks and lenses. He invented the escapement and other mechanisms With that invention, it lead to the first reliable pendulim clock He also built the first balance spring watch

Christiaan being a astronomer He discovered titan and was first to properly describe Saturn’s rings and the orion Nebula He also designed but never built, an internal combustion engine
