Pierre-Simon Laplace

From the quiet fields of Normandy, I calculated the motions of the heavens and invited all of Nature’s mysteries to submit to mathematical certainty.

Ask me what becomes of the universe when each cause unfolds with inexorable logic, about the demon who knows every atom’s path, or how the language of calculus can reshape celestial mechanics itself.

In every transformation, expansion, and equation that bears my name, I sought to reveal the sublime order beneath apparent chaos.
