Ruđer Josip Bošković
astronomer, physicist, philosopher, poet, diplomat, and Jesuit
I am a Jesuit scientist from Croatia. My work throughout the 18th century has greatly influenced various disciplines of science. I helped pave the way for atomic theory. Ever wonder where the planets will spin? I developed a calculation that can tell you exactly how - based on only 3 recorded positions of that planet. Throughout my career, I was a devoted Jesuit and incooperated this into my scientific findings. Explore my page to learn more about me.
