| 説明 | Even though there is a railway station and a tram terminus the area is remote and rather bleak and has suffered from anti-social activity for many years. Therefore, I would not recommend it as a tourist destination.Broom Bridge also called Broome Bridge, and sometimes Brougham Bridge, is a bridge along Broombridge Road which crosses the Royal Canal in Cabra, Dublin. The Bridge is named after William Broome, one of the directors of the Royal Canal company who lived nearby. It is famous for being the location where Sir William Rowan Hamilton first wrote down the fundamental formula for quaternions on 16 October 1843, which is to this day commemorated by a stone plaque on the northwest corner of the underside of the bridge. After being spoiled by the action of vandals and some visitors,the plaque was moved to a different place, higher, under the railing of the bridge.The text on the plaque reads:Here as he walked byon the 16th of October 1843Sir William Rowan Hamiltonin a flash of genius discoveredthe fundamental formula forquaternion multiplicationi² = j² = k² = ijk = −1& cut it on a stone of this bridge. |
