Description
After getting a PhD in Physics, I slowly moved, or drifted, or - according to some colleagues - degraded, into the history of science. In this presentation I will try to justify this curious turn of events. That is, I will show why questions in mathematics and physics of more than 500 years ago can still be interesting and challenging today. I will also show that there are still many open questions in the history of science, waiting for the right researcher to appear - a physicist perhaps?
