[00:04.819](Hooke's Diary) 17th September,1661
[00:08.312]Received a letter from Doctor Wren
[00:14.011](Wren)Mr Hooke, sir
[00:17.259]l hope you well.
[00:19.372]l know you are busy so you must forgive what l about to ask
[00:27.137]You see l made some observation with the microscope, and
[00:32.015]l hate to brag, but there are actioning, rather good
[00:40.639]l know the King so l showed him all the work l done
[00:45.362]l hate to brag, but he was so impress
[00:50.086]He wanted all my observation published in a book
[00:55.834]lmagine, me. Hoooo!
[00:59.010]l was honoured but l just don't have the time
[01:04.120]l've got enough on my plate
[01:06.976]and l know you do too
[01:10.537]But I can't help to think:
[01:13.012]This project might be perfect for you!
[01:22.097]I know you make great improvements to the microscope
[01:26.566]And I hear you're fine artist
[01:31.595]lf you took these and published this book
[01:34.280]You will not only be doing me a favour
[01:40.220]This book would launch your name, and
[01:45.065]This book could make you famous
[01:49.678]None just a technician
[01:53.103]None just an assistant
[01:55.684]But a Natural Philosopher
[02:00.662]Think it over
[02:03.113]Your faithful, grateful friend
[02:04.750]Wrrrrrrren
[02:06.754](Hooke) Famous? For drawing tiny things under the microscope
[02:18.000]Oh,oh, Galileo discover the four moons of Jupiter
[02:22.445]Robert Hooke draws tiny things under the microscope
[02:28.575]Wait!
[02:30.811]Nobody knows, nobody knows the world through the lens that I have seen it
[02:41.472]Nobody shown, nobody shown the world there was looks like in detail
[02:52.569]Nobody has told, nobody has told the reality
[03:00.043]Cause there are faithful eye and a sincere hand
[03:03.692]But I can
[03:06.283]And l could be the best seller?
[03:08.907]lmagine, me? Huh!
[03:11.725]Galileo discover the four moons of Jupite, but
[03:19.512]Robert Hooke unlocks the secrets of the Earth
[03:39.925]How can something so small
[03:42.635]How's the power to make
[03:45.067]My name so big!
[03:50.806]How can something so marve
[03:53.450]Crafted with such geometry
[03:56.182]Drafted with such geometry
[04:01.792]How can something so natural
[04:04.225]Mimic something man made
[04:05.981]Like little boxes, like little rooms, like..little "cells"
[04:15.156]How can something so perfect
[04:17.847]Seem to prove out work
[04:20.012]And yet, what if these are rocks?
[04:26.040]What if these are shell?
[04:31.545]Shells and anything
[04:33.119]seems like live and die
[04:34.453]Die and bury underground
[04:36.845]For decades, centuries, for millenniums
[04:39.412]Further about even what the Bible said
[04:43.544]Just a thought?
[04:50.130]Just thoughts
[04:53.689]That's all they are
[04:57.779]That's all this is
[05:01.606]and l call it
[05:05.809]Micrographia!
[05:15.928](Choir) This is the most genius book
[05:17.704]This book is going to change the world
[05:20.257]Robert Hooke is going to change the way we see the world
[05:25.093]What we knew, what we thought, what we said, what we saw

[05:49.004]This book changed it all
[05:53.589](Hooke) Never seeing anything like before another mind who thinks like mine
[05:58.064]So many thoughts, so many ideas, so many theories
[06:01.371]But always no conclusion
[06:07.344]He leave some observation to theory without ever more reason
[06:11.928]Spokes about genius
[06:13.156]But never grow into a fame
[06:16.400]He poses question and question and question but always no answer
[06:20.880]To busy to answer
[06:26.147]Just thoughts
[06:30.183]That's all they are
[06:34.330]That's all this is
[06:39.289]And it's easily to prove them if I had time
[06:41.701]But God permit me live an opportunity
[06:48.659]And I agree
[06:49.916]You will, but you open the door, for rather some kind life be
