Croatian Greats

Season 2 Episode 5: Ruđer Bošković

The Jesuit Ruđer Bošković was a mathematician, astronomer, geodesist, physicist, philosopher, diplomat, and writer. He worked in statics, and thanks to him alone, the domes of St. Peter’s in the Vatican and the Imperial Library in Vienna never collapsed on popes and emperors. In his free time, he wrote poetry, criticized Newton, and explored Troy. But did you know that he laid the foundations of subatomic particle physics? Did you know that he embraced the principle of relativity long before Einstein, who, according to legend, kept his portrait above his desk? Discover what we owe to this versatile genius and whether he really looked like Mozart in the new episode of Croatian Greats.
