SUMMARY OF CHAPTER 19: CERTAIN FIRST PRINCIPLES
Griffin’s Secret was Out in the Newspapers
Dr Kemp came running to Griffin’s room and enquired about the smashing sound. Griffin replied that he had lost his temper. Dr Kemp further informed him that his secret was in the newspapers. People knew about his existence.
Griffin Explained his Invisibility
Dr Kemp said that if Griffin needed his help then he must give him some details about his transparent form. Griffin narrated the incidents that led him to make this discovery. Initially, he was a medical student, but light and physics fascinated him more. So, he switched over. He further informed Dr Kemp that he somehow discovered a formula to lower down the refractive index of substances which could lead to invisibility.
Griffin told about his Research
Griffin left London (and University College) six years ago and went to Chesilstowe, where he was a teacher and a student. He had the idea in his mind and started developing it from there. But he had to keep his research a secret as his professor was a thief of ideas. He didn’t want to lose the credit for his own research. He never mentioned his research to anyone.
Griffin got a Breakthrough
Griffin was alone one night in the laboratory when he figured out how to make a man invisible. His joy knew no bounds. After three years of teaching and research, he didn’t have the money he needed to complete his research. So, he resorted to thievery and robbed his father. Unfortunately, the money he stole was not actually his father’s and he shot himself dead.
