Constantijn Huygens

Christiaan Huygens (Den Haag, 14 april 1629 – aldaar, 8 juli 1695) was een Nederlandse wis-, natuur- en sterrenkundige, uitvinder en schrijver van sciencefiction. Hij vond het slingeruurwerk uit en formuleerde als eerste de wetten voor de elastische botsing en de middelpuntvliedende kracht in de mechanica. Hij ontdekte de ringen van Saturnus en de maan Titan bij deze planeet en verklaarde als eerste licht als een golfverschijnsel met het Principe van Huygens-Fresnel. Tevens was hij een pionier van de kansrekening.
