Leonardo VS Newton/Galileo

[renaissance12]

California USA: 2017

Engineers from Caltech ( California Institute of Technology ) have discovered that Leonardo da Vinci's understanding of gravity—though not wholly accurate—was centuries ahead of his time.

Da Vinci's experiments with "gravity" were first spotted by Mory Gharib, the Hans W. Liepmann Professor of Aeronautics and Medical Engineering, in the Codex Arundel, a collection of papers written by da Vinci that cover science, art, and personal topics. In early 2017, Gharib was exploring da Vinci's techniques of flow visualization to discuss with students he was teaching in a graduate course when he noticed a series of sketches showing triangles generated by sand-like particles pouring out from a jar in the newly released Codex Arundel, which can be viewed online courtesy of the British Library.

Leonardo wrote the first 2 motion law 100 years before Galileo and 150 years before Newton..

Leonardo is always a mystery.

He has never fully carried out everything that was in his possibilities ..

What is the point of writing the first two laws of motion in a couple of lines .. without deepening them as Galileo and above all Newton did?

And above all, how did he make known the first two laws of motion when in his time they were completely contrary to Aristotle's theories?

He is famous for his paintings .. but in his whole life he painted only 18 paintings.

Rubens, another very famous painter, painted many hundreds and perhaps thousands paintings..
