Christiaan Huygens / 惠更斯

Christiaan Huygens appears in 26.牛顿与伪币制造者：可能是斯内普的原型？ as part of the European scientific network that received and evaluated [[IsaacNewton|Isaac Newton / 牛顿]]’s work. The episode says [[JohnLocke|John Locke]] was struck by the Principia after Huygens confirmed the significance of Newton’s conclusions.

His role is a small but useful example of Scientific Revolution Social Infrastructure: Newton’s authority was not only self-declared; it circulated through capable readers, cross-channel correspondence, and trusted evaluators.
