Great Physicists and the Pets Who Inspired Them - Inside the Perimeter:

From Maxwell’s dogs and Hubble’s cat to Tycho Brahe’s unfortunate elk, four-legged friends have been a mainstay in lives of great scientists. 

Here’s a look at influential scientists whose pets gave them paws for reflection. 

Watch a Perimeter Institute talk on Einstein and his (two-legged) collaborators. 

Read Tesla’s letter to a friend about his early fascination with electricity. 

Read the evidence for (and against) Newton’s invention of the cat door. 

Check out the Slice of PI on the life and work of Edwin Hubble.
