Christiaan Huygens█

In my relentless search for harmony in the cosmos and in clocks, I unveiled the secrets of Saturn’s rings and Titan, and set time dancing to the rhythm of my pendulum.

Ask me why light moves as a wave through the ether, how music and mathematics sing in duet, or how pure geometry can predict the orbits of heavenly bodies.

To measure, to wonder, to bring order from mystery—such have been my compass and delight across the Dutch golden age of discovery.
