Question: Which "natural philosopher" covered in "Shock and Awe: The Story of Electricity" was born on March 14, 1692?
Context: Pieter van Musschenbroek (14 March 1692 – 19 September 1761) was a Dutch scientist.  He was a professor in Duisburg, Utrecht, and Leiden, where he held positions in mathematics, philosophy, medicine, and astronomy.  He is credited with the invention of the first capacitor in 1746: the Leyden jar.  He performed pioneering work on the buckling of compressed struts.  Musschenbroek was also one of the first scientists (1729) to provide detailed descriptions of testing machines for tension, compression, and flexure testing.  An early example of a problem in dynamic plasticity was described in the 1739 paper (in the form of the penetration of butter by a wooden stick subjected to impact by a wooden sphere). Edward Hussey Delaval (born 1729; died 14 August 1814 in Westminster) was an English scholar and natural philosopher. Harald Lesch (born 28.  July 1960 in Gießen, Hessen) is a German physicist, astronomer, natural philosopher, author, television presenter, professor of physics at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (LMU) and professor of natural philosophy at the Munich University of Philosophy.  In the German speaking world, Lesch plays a similar role to that of Neil deGrasse Tyson, as a bridge between the scientific community and the public. Louise-Anastasia Serment (Grenoble, 1642 - Paris, 1692) was a French natural philosopher and poet.  Born in Grenoble, she spent most of her life in Paris.  She was a disciple of Descartes.  She was a member of the Ricovrati Academy.  Serment reputedly collaborated as an author with Philippe Quinault in his operas. Lorenzo Respighi (7 October 1824 – 10 December 1889) was an Italian mathematician and natural philosopher.  Born at Cortemaggiore, Piacenza, to Luigi Respighi and Giuseppina Rossetti.  He studied mathematics and natural philosophy, first at Parma and then at the University of Bologna, where he obtained his degree "ad honorem" in 1845. Gargi Vachaknavi (born about c. 700 BCE) was an ancient Indian philosopher.  In Vedic Literature, she is honored as a great natural philosopher, renowned expounder of the Vedas, and known as Brahmavadini, a person with knowledge of Brahma Vidya.  In the Sixth and the eighth Brahmana of Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, her name is prominent as she participates in the "brahmayajna", a philosophic debate organized by King Janaka of Videha and challenges the sage Yajnavalkya with perplexing questions on the issue of "atman" (soul).  She is also said to have written many hymns in the Rigveda.  She remained a celibate all her life and was held in veneration by the conventional Hindus. Christian Gottfried Daniel Nees von Esenbeck (14 February 1776 – 16 March 1858) was a prolific German botanist, physician, zoologist, and natural philosopher.  He was a contemporary of Goethe and was born within the lifetime of Linnaeus.  He described approximately 7,000 plant species (almost as many as Linnaeus himself).  His last official act as president of the German Academy of Natural Scientists Leopoldina was to admit Charles Darwin as a member.  He was the author of numerous monographs on botany and zoology.  His best-known works deal with fungi. Sir Isaac Newton {'1': ", '2': ", '3': ", '4': "} ( ; 25 December 1642 – 20 March 1726/27) was an English mathematician, astronomer, and physicist (described in his own day as a "natural philosopher") who is widely recognised as one of the most influential scientists of all time and a key figure in the scientific revolution.  His book "Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica" ("Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy"), first published in 1687, laid the foundations of classical mechanics.  Newton also made pathbreaking contributions to optics, and he shares credit with Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz for developing the infinitesimal calculus. William Gilbert ( ; 24 May 1544 – 30 November 1603), also known as Gilberd, was an English physician, physicist and natural philosopher.  He passionately rejected both the prevailing Aristotelian philosophy and the Scholastic method of university teaching.  He is remembered today largely for his book "De Magnete" (1600), and is credited as one of the originators of the term "electricity".  He is regarded by some as the father of electrical engineering or electricity and magnetism. In the first episode Al-Khalili introduces the history of our understanding of electricity and the harnessing of its power.  He covers the achievements of these "natural philosophers" - Francis Hauksbee, Stephen Gray, Musschenbroek, Benjamin Franklin, Henry Cavendish, Galvani, Volta and Humphry Davy.
