                           'In a sense Lambert predicted galaxies and Black Holes. Lambert''s finite Universe is composed of galaxies, supergalaxies and even higher systems of stars all of which rotate around their respective centres; each of these centres is occupied by a regent, an immensely large, exceedingly dense and opaque body',
                           'Lambert''s systematic approach to facts, theories, predictions and possible verifications was not emulated in cosmological literature until the 20th century.',

                           'Lambert''s physical erudition indicates yet another clear way in which it would be possible to eliminate the traditional myth of three-dimensional geometry through the parallels with the physical dependence of functions.',
                           'In his own fundamental philosophical opus, the "Neues Organon", Lambert developed a noteworthy theory of logical probability that, to our knowledge, has thus far escaped the attention of eminent scholars in the field such as Keynes.',
                           'Frederick II refused to appoint Lambert to the Bavarian Academy of Sciences on account of his unusual appearance, strange dress and eccentric behaviour.',
                           'Lambert was an expert on conic sections, so would have performed well in 4U Maths.',
                           'Out of respect for his humble beginnings, Lambert deliberately chose not to conform to the conventions of the upper classes.',
                           'Of Lambert’s philosophical writings only his principle works, Neues Organon and Anlage zur Architectonic, as well as three papers published in Nova acta erudictrum, appeared during his lifetime.',
                           'In 1770 Lambert suggested an easy method of determining whether the distance between the earth and the sun is greater than the distance from the earth to a given comet.',

'Lambert was more famous as a philosophy than as a mathematician.', shouldn't it be philosopher?
