I have honestly never heard of anyone describe DaVinci as only an artist. All his inventions are a huge part of what he sketched.
Yeah... I forgot he painted the Mona Lisa and I remembered him most for his science and engineering.
@@panoramicprism
Da Vinci didn't do all that many paintings. He spent most of his time tinkering with things. I think he would just do a painting once in a while to get money to fund his other activities.
Ever gone to school? I don't Remember a single science book talking about DaVinci if not as a side note. Can't say the same for art books.
The real truth anyway is that artist being somehow just some fashion designer is quite stupid. Great artist always strugled for reality description and innovation. If that's not science i don't know what should be. You don't need a PhD and a white dress to do/study science.
But this misconception Is really usefull for the tecnocratic dystopy we are trying so hard to build right now.
@@BresciGaetanoWhat.
@@hiero-green maybe is my not great english. What part is so hard to understand, my friend?
Well, people often forget that Da Vinci was the true Renaissance man after all. Engineer, painter/artist, scientist. The man could do it all
He is the no 1 person I would have liked to meet in all of history. That man's mind is something else
Edit: I forgot to mention he was almost entirely self taught. He was either extremely poor or an orphan and spent time watching and studying nature and sketching.
He also helped to the brotherhood of assassins
Wait until Jonny sins hears about this
He is the dude the term "Renaissance Man" is credtiting.
More of he was the Renaissance man we think of
Da Vinci should get his own holiday just for being an absolute mental powerhouse
And using that power to advance and inspire humanity as a whole. That's the kind of stuff people win Nobel prizes for today
Vinci Day. I'd celebrate it.
Truly the mental mitochondria of humanity
His bday is on tax day so def rather celebrate his bday than paying taxes lol 4/15
@@powerofanime1 Day Vinci
Da Vinci wasn’t an artist into science, he was a scientist who liked art but primary he was a scientist
No haha that’s not true he was primarily a party dude. He mind controlled Lodovico il Moro who he first encountered performing for him with his band. Then he got money to organise parties and drink, and from time to time he made a drawing of a “tank” or some other machine to fool Lodovico. Leonardo was mainly into gay sex and partying. This is why most (if not all) of his artworks were unfinished, done poorly on a technical side, rushed or very below the committee’s initial requirement. Don’t get me wrong, this just makes him more of a genius. Leonardo was such a genius that is art is conceptually transcendental. The Mona Lisa is the most famous painting ever and most people haven’t even seen it. Hell the actual painting is a small sad thingy there are way better paintings walking 10 metres away in the museum. Leonardo is famous for taking decades beyond the deadline to work on his commotions only to then present an unfinished subpar or small piece because he probably got bored. I think some of his most interesting drawings (specifically drawings, not paintings) are the unifinished ones. It is possible that Da Vinci would have just been a photographer in our times. His portraits are very photographic hahaha. Read his biography written by Vasari, it’s a wild run!
I want to clarify his talent was incredible. As a teen when he is still collab with his master Verrocchio, his raw skill already allowed him to outclass the old one. And his view of nature and how he incorporates it, truly genius. Also he had an insane intuition, genuinely extremely smart. But really he was so talented that he never perfected anything haha. What is incredible is that people present him as a master of everything. Leonardo was master of nothingn because his raw talent, intelligence, intuition and desire to party rather than work kept him away from perfectionism. Quite the opposite of Michelangelo.
@@lalberodellenocciole5279youre an insane person
@@lalberodellenocciole5279i was not prepared to read so much on a REPLY to a comment. Thanks for the info.
Yep
We know Leonardo da Vinci for his art, but he didn't advertise himself for his art. He listed his war machines and then added he could make them look cool. He was an engineer first and formost.
Also don't forget he gave Ezio his hidden blade
He was the smartest person. I can not think of anyone smarter and more talent than him. Einstein was considered one of the smartest, but Einstein limit himself on science. L D Vinci were more than Science.
@@randomhuman2595 he also modernized it so you get to keep all your fingers!
Da Vinci is only known for his art cause the Mona Lisa got stolen, before that it was not nearly as popular
Too bad people remember sparkling things over true science.
Fun Fact, Da Vinci payed off a mortician friend of his to illegally get his hands on human corpses so that he could dissect them. In his life, he secretly dissected a total of 18 cadavers. One of the reasons people believe his representation of the human body was so good was because he studied anatomy down to even the form of the muscles and bones. Something no other artist, or physician for that matter, did at the time. Nowadays, teaching artists human anatomy is expected in most classes.

Dude was basically both a jack of all trades AND a master at everything he did
but also the saying is "A jack of all trades is a master of none, but often times better than a master of one" and also isn't some kind of innate property that is somehow always true, just an observation from a one william shakespeare
He was most certainly not
You’re actually called a polymath then haha

Most certainly?
Why not? It was _much _*_easier_* to attain the "knowledge level" of masters of his time with an intellect like his.
A king of all trades lol. Why are these replies so aggressive chill out💀
I always forget he's the painter of the Mona Lisa. I always think of the flying machines whenever I hear his name.
AC 2, I remember that machine
@@occasionallyhumanyup same
How u forget who painted the mona Lisa like fr?
@@S2nppy because assassins creed is a core memory of my childhood
Same here, if someone is greater than Nikola Tesla is probably Leonardo DaVinci, he is the definition of "ahead of his time"
A painter, a scientist, a ninja turtle. My man has done so much in his life, damn
He was a pretty good DJ too
and an editing software
And he was great in the Wolf of Wall street!

Jesuits run the govt
LunDruid...you are so correct! Awesome discovery.
Imagine painting literally the most prized art piece on the planet and also discovering gravity as a hobby... *FIVE HUNDRED YEARS* ago
Bro was HIM
And when praised for your painting you respond Meh that’s just a sideline.
It's the other way around. He was an engineer and he did art as a hobby. Which I consider more impressive.
Well, he didn't have TikTok
This "discovery" only works when you ASSUME things that aren't even in the book to make it work. Nothing to see here.
Da Vinci was really into science! He just happened to be able to pay the bills by being a pretty good painter too.
he was also an avid 🏳️🌈lover of borgia aka that false painting of Christ
Had the acceleration been more or less than that of gravity, a right angled triangle would still have formed in that frame. Idk what the fuss is about
@@truthmatters758 what?
@@elijahknox4421 he was gy
put an ‘a’in the middle
Da Vinci was simply the pinnacle of the human species. The dude was a "once every 100 years"-talent in every discipline he tried. Had his inventions been found and interpreted earlier he could've quite literally advanced scientific and technological progress by centuries, all by himself. And he did that while also being an amazing artist. It's humbling to learn about the genius of this man.
I’m definitely gonna go on a Da Vinci rabbit hole now! Thanks I am gonna feed my brain 😂
Sure, but to be balanced, he wasn't perfect. The helicopter would never work. He got the principles flight wrong.
He was incredible, brilliant. However he didn’t come up with all of it on his own. Much of it was taken from a Chinese fleet that visited cities around the world to share and exchange knowledge.
This is why people shouldn’t look down at marketing and management. Invention is useless unless it’s known and widely used.
@@yudistiraliem135 marketing and management are bottom tier contributions to society
DaVinci is literally THE definition of a Renaissance Man. Not just an artist.
precisely! all while gifting paintings to Kings, and working for the Duke of Milan
Haha RENAISSANCE man
He literarily did everything. He’s not just a Jack of All Trades. He’s the DaVinci of All Trades. He didn’t just semi decently learn all the skills. No he mastered them. He made them.
I don’t think you guys understand. THIS MAN WAS SO PERFECT THEY MADE A PHRASE. The phrase renaissance man directly refers to divinci, or more specifically, the example he set
Bobby Fingers is a prime example for a modern day Renaissance man, that fella can do it all, art, sculpting, music, comedy, acting, directing... He has only four videos so far, but it's some of the best stuff on UA-cam.
Fun fact: Da Vinci was also really into plants, he loved them so much that he had his own greenhouse type build in his house where he kept multiple species of plants and he would sketch them in his notebooks for hours at a time.
What a cool ass dude.
He was vegetarian and concerned for the well-being of animals, too
what a dream
Biology too 😭😭😭
He's just like me fr 😭
DaVinci was a man before his time. He has continued to bless the world for decades. What a gift he is.
After 20 hours of watching naked men doing jumping jacks for your sketches, you figure out acceleration due to gravity pretty quickly.
What?

@@jonslg240fuck is the hate for lmao
Imagine not knowing Da Vinci was anything other than an artist.
Yeah, I was confused! Who doesn't know about his scientific interests? I thought that his anatomy work and inventions were just as famous.
I never actually considered him an artist. Growing up i was always taught that he was an amazing inventor. Pretty good at art too.
Exactly my thought
I thought he himself didn't consider him as an artist?
Imagine thinking Da Vinci was just a fictional character by Dan Brown. Sounds insane but my -theory- or idea is for every genius there are half a dozen or more idiots in society.
best way to think of these old school artist scientists is to remember they thought of science as an art form as well
Fun fact he actually knew the famed assassin “Ezio Auditore da Firenze” and would frequently make him new weapons to fight with
This is true, his flying machine and tank were used to combat the Borgia
Assassins creeeedd was how i learned as a kid lol
bro is Q from james bond
@@HyperLexusunderated comment ❤😂 Agreed.
i love thise rectangles, Leonardo!
Newton said he stood on the shoulders of giants. I guess di Vinci was one.
Don't forget about those Arab scholars who INVENTED NUMBERS. They also discovered gravity. I don't know if they proved it mathematically tho.
No, Da Vinci's note had absolutely no consequence or bearing in Newton's discovery. It's not like he travelled to Italy, read the notebook and got his inspiration from that
@@user-us3xi7se5bpretty sure everyone in the history of the species has discovered gravity. Newton was just the first one to do anything more than "things fall and they get faster the more they do it " he actually predicted things with it and was the one to figure out that gravity and mass are related

Da Vinci's notebooks are orders of magnitude more important than his art. They are fascinating. A prodigy's prodigy.
I often think in the realm of music someone like Mozart is a prodigies prodigy, and Shakespeare in literature. It's a good way to describe these total geniuses
I’m convinced the dude was just the smartest person in history
Smarter than Newton?
@@teodelfuego Yes. da Vinci was the de facto polymath. You'd have to compare general knowledge vs specialized knowledge.
That goes to Nikola Tesla. 80% of modern technology derives from one of his works. If Thomas Edison wasn't an animal torturing POS, we would be in the future. Tesla died poor, and alone. All due to human greed.
@@danieljarvis9117 I think you need to learn more about Newton. Unaided by DaVinci’s unpublished marginalia, Newton not only pondered gravity, but worked out the set of laws and equations we still use to this day in all but the most extreme conditions. He also, unaided and alone, invented an entire branch of mathematics-the calculus. He was an astrophysicist, philosopher, inventor, author, in addition to being a maths whiz.
@@teodelfuego I am aware, my degree is in mathematics. 😁 But while Newton studied and innovated across several disciplines, da Vinci was still broader. It's whatever you think constitutes "smarter", like an IQ test favors broad knowledge. But the comparison is kind of silly, like comparing a boxer and MMA fighter - from two different eras.
I'm willing to bet that a grand portion of italians aren't going to be surprised to hear that Da Vinci wasn't just a mere artist.
Italians, the rest of Europeans and most of the people in the world in a few historical culture? 😅
@@ValdemarDeMatos as an Italian, i wouldn't be surprised to seeing Italian who don't know who da vinci was, probably they heard the name, but I'm willing to bet that most majority wouldn't know what he did, MAYBE SOMEONE WOULD JUST SAY that he painted the Mona lisa, and that's just cause is a meme in italy cause the french have it and there was actually a song in the early 00's about it
@@DarthVaderfr 😳
I really find this hard to believe.
I've met many Italians and of course all of them knew perfectly well Leonardo DaVinci and his diverse fields of study.
As an Italian didn't you learn about him at school?
🤔
@@ValdemarDeMatos Da Vinci is taught in arts classes in italian schools, but not much about him is actually known by the general italian population. Of course it's a national hero but few people actually knows a lot about Leonardo Da Vinci.
I'm a Finn. We know that he was very versatile in his work. I think the common knowledge isn't very detailed in what he did, more just that he was "general genious", as in good with very many things xD
Mona Lisa, the anatomy scetch, the design of the helicopter they say, those are the most well known.
I know slightly more since I bought the book of his work journals, and read some things from there xD
Da Vinci is also regarded as the father of anatomy thanks to his thorough note taking and sketches on human anatomy.
Da Vinci gets better the more you learn about him. He really was the shining figure of the renaissance period. Fascinating.
what some people don't know is he was obsessed with knowledge and life experiences, he literally studied anything and everything he could possibly got his hands on.
Nowadays that would simply be impossible. This modern world we live in is designed with so much knowledge that if you were to devote your entire life to being a scholarly person, you would still only have studied an infinitesimal fraction of the knowledge and skill that humanity has amounted. The only way to excel in any subject nowadays is to devote your life to that one subject. It kind of depresses me in a way
@@kramarancko1107 I'm a huge fan of people like David goggins and Jordan peterson. Never limit yourself. Always try to grow. It's pretty amazing what the human body and brain can achieve when it truly believes in something. Especially if your a religious person with a connection to our great creator. 👍
Leonardo da Vinci is under appreciated. A genius beyond genius.
He didn’t have a basis to start off with in much of his research. He used human cadavers to examine and learn of its composition, he was a creative engineer, and a legendary artist
He truly was the renaissance man
I loved him in Titanic.
Under appreciated?
Brāhmagupta, born in the 7th century, was a prominent scholar in the field of mathematics and astronomy. As the head of the astronomical observatory in Ujjain, Brahmagupta contributed extensively to the understanding of the cosmos, penning the “Brahmasphutasiddhanta,” an exhaustive mathematical and astronomical treatise. Within this influential work, Brāhmagupta postulated that celestial bodies were held in their orbits by an unseen force, which he termed “GURUTVAKARSHAN (गुरुत्वाकर्षणम्)” a Sanskrit term describing the attractive force exerted by mass. This observation, though not as mathematically rigorous as Newton’s later work, marked a crucial milestone in the quest to understand the force that governs the motion of celestial bodies.
No way people think of DaVinci as an artist first. He was definitely a scientist, mathematician and engineer first.
Ikr
Totally. Art feels like something he did for fun
He was All Of The Above. I think he also did some sculptures for the ruling elites.
Allegedly, he was all of the above plus anatomist, botanist, etc, and he bought caged wild birds just to release them (then studied their flight movements)...and to think it is also believed he was an educated "bastard child" (meaning born out of wedlock) and a "blond."
A true Polymath I reckon. And today, people give that soubriquay to the likes of the far left gay monstrosity that is Stephen Fry.
The general public seem to equate a public school education and talking with a posh accent with higher than average intelligence.
Definitely not the case.....ladies and gentlemen, I give you....Boris Johnson, to compare with.
Fry was perfectly cast in Blackadder, though, I'll give him that.
Da Vinci is so cool, he can paint, he can engineer, he can upgrade my hidden blade in assassins creed, he’s so cool
I was looking for a comment that referenced ac2 thank you 😅
In my humble opinion, the greatest mind in modern history. To be able to have a conversation with Archimedes and Da Vinci is an engineer’s dream. 😂
I don't think an engineer would have much fun talking with Da Vinci since he wasn't a trained engineer. Guy just dabbled. However, I think an engineer would wet their pants if they had the privilege of working on a project with him.
@@julianmcmillan2867 If DaVinci had modern education he would be a force to be engineered with
Same. I always wish if I could talk to one person in history whether they're alive or dead. I would want to talk to Leonardo da Vinci, assuming we would even be able to communicate. I'd be so fascinated about what he would have to say about philosophy and what's above our heads in the stars or what lies within our heads.
is 500 years ago "modern" history? 😅
Only to learn you skipped Italian and old greek in school, thinking 'who needs that, i am going to be an engineer' 😂

What's crazier is that Da Vinci is arguably more science oriented than Newton who is deep into occultism.
newton was a religious nutjob. looking into his writings it was mostly crazy pseudoscience interspersed with the occasional scientific and mathematical breakthrough.
Dude... Newton invented calculus just as a side project with literally no shoulders to stand on. Ofc he was insane
@@mattpet7913 Newton is definitely the goat, he was truly a giant.
Correct me if I’m wrong but everything Da Vinci “discovered” and “invented” are mere artistic sketches of devices whereas Newton is pure science where he puts his scientific theories into formulas and proves them scientifically, regardless of his occult endeavors. Sorry but no contest here.
Yes, "science oriented". Newton was into all sorts of nonsense including alchemy "philosophers stone" occult junk. But Newton managed to formalize observations into three rules. And was one of two people who co-discovered calculus. Of course Archimedes nearly had calculus thousands of years before Newton, but didn't formalize it.
We tend to group all discoveries of a day under one "superhero". We did it for Maxwell (leaving out Hevyside), we did it for Einstein (leaving out Hilbert), and we do it for Newton too. Large groups of people worked on all these ideas.
Then we have the Edisons and the Musks who really don't know jack squat, but were great self-promoters who liberally stole credit from people we don't know the names of today. And made fortunes doing it. Society doesn't like history, it likes hero's (even when there weren't any, they are fabricated).
To think somehow us humans never destroyed his work is a miracle
Most of it was torn up and stored away never to be seen again...
@@jimL-69420true but that we got anything from him is still pretty damn great
Humans try to protect stuff as much as humans try to destroy stuff.
We ain't a hive mind, we can't all be judged as one.
isn't some of his notes in the vatican vault or something?
The FBI wasn't around
I had the amazing opportunity to go to an art gallery and see his notes and anatomical sketches IN PERSON when a touring exhibition came to where I live. I was so excited, and I was not at all disappointed!
Fun fact: you’ll notice that his writing looks weird, but that’s because he decided to teach himself to write backwards so it was easier for him being left-handed. He wanted to see his work easier as he wrote and and was sick of smudging everything I suppose lol. Being Da Vinci, that meant making a practical but unconventional approach to his problem. They were his notes, for his own personal use, so why not?
Wait so did he write the letters backwards or he wrote backwards as in from right to left on the page?
@@TheMothaFuckinDope he wrote in mirror image. If you'd put a mirror in front of his notes, you'd be able to read it.
Wow!! 😲 Cool!! ❄️
Years ago, those notebooks made a limited world tour, and we had them in Seattle courtesy the funding of Bill Gates. The museum that most of them reside in was undergoing renovation, and Gates had purchased one not in that collection, and reunited them. Awesome exhibit!
Left-handed smudging is a serious plight.
Da vinci was also one of the people who basically stopped the great cat massacure where europeans would kill and torurture cats in awful ways usually just for enjoyment. Da vinci really liked cats.
This why taking notes of every idea is important.

@@dreahdickinson9602 "idea"
There's a significant difference between an average Joe's scribbles in the side vs people like da Vinci
They actually reference a lot of his scientific and mechanical works in the assassins creed 2 game, you actually learn about him dissecting corpses and studying human anatomy as well and you even have a quick mission where you kill an enemy and carry the body back for him to study after he helps use his engineering knowledge to help you build a new hidden blade
Love it ubisoft tries so hard to add those historical details
@@rastatank1345 true, while they are very fantasy style games with large twists on history they still go out of their way to incorporate a ton of small details and information relating to historical locations and figures they use in their games and I’ve always really liked that
There's a game called Escape Simulator on steam with a bunch of escape rooms and one of them includes a bunch of his work and is themed around him, like there's a lockbox that's the famous Da Vinci Tank and there's a flying machine too. Really cool.
Davinci was a brilliant man, not becuase he went to school or studied hard, but becuase he looked at the world with an objectionable eye. He was an artist in profession and natural sensibility. His mind was simply different. We should never ostracize people for being different, we should listen to them and try to see the world from there eyes. Maybe then we could all be brilliant.
he was a brilliant man because of his IQ
he studied the world on his own because at the time there weren't really "schools" and the ones that did exist didn't teach the subjects he was interested in (like human anatomy). you can't teach something in a school that hasn't been discovered yet
if he lived today he would have gone to university and simply studied there
he wasn't "different" by any sense of the word, he was simply smarter
@@ImpeachObamaASAP2010 "there weren't schools" - there were universities already (like the cracow one founded in 14 century, thecwest had probably even more/older ones). And he was far from the only one studying anatomy by studying corpses, eveb though church didn't like it.
Did you mean "objective eye" rather than "objectionable eye"?
@@tymondabrowski12 i refer you to "the ones that did exist" which was clearly referencing the very few colleges like Oxford that did exist
While he was definitely one of the very few men (at the time) to really study the human anatomy you are correct in saying he wasn't the only one to do so which further supports my argument that he wasn't different, just smarter.
@@ImpeachObamaASAP2010 wouldn’t credit on most of things based on thathonestly but on the intense interest of a person
Da Vinci improved the designs of contemporary engineers that already existed. I don't remember well the name of the two military designers but if anyone searches Italian military and airplanes designs during the Renaissance these authors (which names I forgot) will resurface. This is shown on PBS documentary on Da Vinci's life. He improved what his fellow Italian military engineers were creating at the time. No doubt he was intelligent, creative and gifted!
His correct name was 'Lionardo di ser Piero da Vinci' meaning 'son of Piero from Vinci' - the Tuscan village in which he was born.
So 'Lionardo da Vinci', or 'Leonardo from Vinci', is correct too.
@@MartijnMcFly Corret, or even just Leonardo is acceptable but never just da Vinci.
yeah but that's a little long to say, so we say "Leonardo DaVinci"
@@Iliadic That's perfectly acceptable, but saying da Vinci is incorrect.
@@TXMEDRGR Okay. Incorrect, but so is "goodbye" as it's a shorthand of "God b w ye"
Da Vinci was definitely one of those people who were way ahead of their time
The kind of genius that comes around once in a century
Once in a millennium, as he was about 500 years ahead of his time.
Da Vinci is a reason that engineering has made the strides it has so far. Dude was a genius.
At some point we might be asking ourselves what DIDN'T Da Vinci discover?
Germ theory. Electromagnetic spectrum. Black holes.
If he had had access to the technological tools now scientists use daily - he would be a superhero or a supervillain.
The G spot.
@Dana North there's some debate that he was not attracted to women, so fair enough
@@emaarredondo-librarianOr not so famous after all, modern science is too complicated for one man to master, even great minds like Einstein are only able to be an expert on multiple disciples within physics, Da Vinci type of success is just not possible in modern days, I guess at best he would became a great engineer or researcher with a wide range of hobbies, but hardly a polymath.
@@emaarredondo-librarianProbably neither because Da Vinci just seemed like a pretty chill dude. Like, I don't think he would've written books and done press tours like Hawking if he discovered black holes. He'd probably be like "that is very interesting. Okay, in the notebook it goes. Now where is my easel? I'm bored".
“What you might not know is that Da Vinci was really into science”
Me who played Assassins Creed II:
Me who played brotherhood
I just really appreciate that you dont shout at us. Your voice and delivery are just perfect.
Da Vinci paid his bills most of the time with top secret military (Renaissance time period) contract work. Seige machines, battering rams with protective sheilds and specialized grappling hooks attached to ladders. Most human powered.
He is what you would call a polymath. The man was great at whatever he put his hand to. He is the quintessential "Renaissance man". ❤
isn't he the actual person that the term "Renaissance Man" is meant to describe similarities to?
@@AlexandarHullRichter Although Da Vinci may have been the ultimate Renaissance Man, the idea was created by Leon Battista Alberti, born 50 years before Da Vinci, dying when Da Vinci was 20. "A man can do all things if he will." From Renaissance humanism, that man is the center of all things and that he should learn and improve himself. Thus, the intelligentsia of the day sought to improve themselves mentally, morally, intellectually, physically, and artistically, a lesson Da Vinci apparently took to heart.
@@YaGottaBeKiddingI always got the impression that Filippo Brunelleschi was the model that a lot of later renaissance men compared themselves to, if I'm not misremembering he lived about 100 years before Alberti and was responsible for the construction of the largest church dome in Firenze, for which he invented new machines and techniques. Inventor, architect, artist, the guy was truly a being from the future in a present that was, for too long, stuck in the past.
@@yonidellarocha9714 Wow, didn't know that history. Thank you!
It looks like this hole runs deeper than I'd ever thought. You've got me looking, and finding. I hadn't heard of Brunelleschi, and now I've found Piero della Fransesca, contemporary of Alberti and da Vinci. It does look like Brunelleschi started them off.
The 'net has so much crap on it that it is truly refreshing to find good info like yours. I hope you enlighten us again.
I’m very flattered and honoured that they call me ‘Renaissance Man’ too.
Fun Fact: Leonardo Da Vinci was way ahead of his time.
There was a group of engineering students who built one of his bridge's and it absolutely worked
I agree. For example, he didn't eat meat before it was cool! Some other intelligent, widely admired people who chose not to eat meat- Pythagoras, Socrates, Voltaire, Newton, Benjamin Franklin, Nikolai Tesla, Albert Einstein, Gandhi, Albert Schweitzer, George Bernard Shaw, Tolstoy, Thoreau, Saint Francis of Asisi, Nobel laureate and holocaust survivor Isaac Bashevis Singer, and many more. Some on this list switched late in life, but stayed on it to the end. Ben Franklin switched at age 16.
"Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet." -Einstein (Of course today, he would be vegan. So would the others on this list.)
The famous Professor of Physics Brian Greene is vegan. You may have seen him on PBS hosting science shows for the layman. Jane Goodall recently went from a long time vegetarian to vegan. Greta Thunberg is vegan. Jon (Daily Show) Stewart is not only vegan, he owns a farm animal sanctuary!
@@someguy2135uh? You sound like if being vegan was an entire personality
@@itismethatguy If being vegan (or not eating meat) was the only significant aspect of these people's personalities, no one would recognize any of these names. What do they have in common? They all overcame society's infuence on them to eat animals. This video by a psychologist explains Carnism. ua-cam.com/video/ao2GL3NAWQU/v-deo.html
@@someguy2135 bro da Vincis knowledge has nothing to do with vegan
Hitler was a vegan too
I hope u know
I do not see Da Vinci as just an artist,he was a genius, literally centuries ahead of his time.
I cant imagine that anyone who knows Da Vinci painted the Mona Lisa wouldn't also know he also was a scientist.
Da vinci was also an architect, war strategist, painter, potter, writer, poet and musician. He's the definition of a high functioning intellectual. Even had the idea of a parachute and the designs drawn out before anyone made it
Da Vinci maybe the greatest genius this world may I ever know, too bad he was born at a time where his research could not flourish nor get properly appreciated
He had to get a position with a rich patron, which he did, that's how he had time to make so many notebooks. Now days he would have to get a research grant, which is more difficult and would have limited him to one subject.
What???? Stuff was being invented all the time
I loved Leonardo Da Vinci in Growing Pains and Titanic.
Wolf of wall street was his best masterpiece tho 😂
Great Gatsby was pretty good too
At least he finally got that oscar
Yeah, i think he discovered gravity by sketching Kate Winslet's boobs on the Titanic. 😱
Check out The Departed, if you haven't already.
These foundings doesn't show that davinci DISCOVERED gravity but it shows that gravity was known AT HIS TIME. So we are not sure if he was the one who discovered it, but we are sure that consept of gravity was known. Ps. The discovery is attributed to a group of bishops called Parisian doctors.
I gotta be careful what I write in my notebooks. Lol
You went from “might have” to squashing newton in one speed talking paragraph.
Bro figured our gravity in his free time, while I'm figuring out who reposted a video
Granted Da Vinci is AWESOME. That said, to assume certain African cultures or other indigenous cultures hadn’t figured out Gravity yet is a massive assumption.
If a society has mastered Astronomy, they’ve had to have mastered some other practical maths along the way as well.
Especially societies so focused on living in union with their physical environment.
Let's not forget back then,the prize for an enormous discovery in science such as that was rewarded with house arrest. Or worse.
I don't blame him for hiding some things.
Imagine your back-off-the-napkin doodles and experiments end up discovering an entire scientific phenomena that isn’t widely discovered until a whole century later.
Hell, we still dont know much about gravity
@@BakedCraniumuhhhh yeah we do… i drop thing and thing go down. simple
DaVinci really does seem like a divine being or an alien who just decided to take a vacation on earth for a bit
He feels like a mechanical engineering who ended up going back in time for a bit for fun.
how low of an IQ do you need to think someone is divine/not human for being smarter than you?
Or an alien observer who, somehow, got stranded here. Rotation of planets seems to cause "gravity" and the Universe is also believed to be rapidly expanding.
@@paulinelarson465 so the guy who studied bird bodies because he didn't know how flight worked was an alien capable of faster than light space travel... got it
You should read Vaisheshika Sutra. It was discovered much earlier then both vinci and Newton in India
Da Vinci is the most interesting man who's ever lived. Considering the time he was around, he's arguably the greatest man who's ever lived
Hard to argue
da Vinci was such a legend.
I remember watching Star Trek Voyager as a kid, and the da Vinci episodes were awesome, they taught me that he wasn't just an artist. He legit was a true Renaissance man.
Bhaskaracharya to Da Vinci, to Isaac Newton... Science has always been stumbling all great minds!
Stevo really turned his life around 🙏
DaVinci was a genius who really was ahead of his time by quite a while.
Ah yes, Da Vinci. Artist, engineer, universal genius, and a cute girl in a Japanese game!
And a ninja turtle
And a color grading, color correction, visual effects, and audio post-production video editing application for macOS, Windows, and Linux, developed by Blackmagic Design.
not the loli vinci 💀
I swear this happens like every year with every scientific theory, da Vinci really is an ass for writing backwards in his notebook to stop people copying his work 🗿
Day by day Davinci is starting to look like a time traveler
Fun fact: davinci conducted multiple himan dissections in order to better understand himan anatomy and thus improve the realism within his art when painting his art.
Note to self..
Incinerate all my doodles, along with my notes and memo's...
When I was 4 years old, I once doodled a picture of a robot eating people. Take note, posterity!
Noted.
I can't imagine anybody knowing anything at all about DaVinci who didn't know he was into science
I knew him for his attempts at making flying machines.
The coolest part is that he never actually tried and built his flying machines. They were only sketches. A few decades ago, aomeone did build one of those machines with the technology available in the 15th-16th centuries and it actually worked!
@@lucadelaurentiis6907 wow!
Da Vinci was a peerless genius
They say da Vinci was the smartest human of all time
as far as im concerned old leo was a Renaissance Man, he dabbled in EVERYTHING.
if its a topic worthy of human interest and can impact the tech progress in a human life, he made initial work on the stuff.
the only other guy i can think of who can match his caliber is nikola tesla, these 2 guys defined our world today.
I always imagine DaVinci like a cool guy who would be fun to hangout with
most geniuses are hard to dealt with
Da Vinci is genuinely THAT GUY
I was lucky enough to see an exhibit of some of DaVinci's notebooks in Montreal circa 1988. Just amazing. ❤
Bro’s a real life wizard
Da Vinci discovered what gravity does. We still don't really know how it works.
Actually we do. It is a distortion in the fabric of space-time. Ask any physicist.
@@markmh835 Gravity distorts space and time. We know. What we don't know is how.
@@notredo -- No, mass distorts space-time, and we call that effect gravity.
@@markmh835 We see effects and make labels. That's different than understanding.
Gravity is a model. Space-time a concept. Both _OUR_ ideas. We don't know what actually causes gravity or what it is, only what it is associated with. And then we make models which are internally self-consistent, which we hope can be used for calculations and predictions.
Take the hypothetical "graviton" as proof of this. Or "quantum loop gravity". Or "torsional gravity". Or "non-matricity". Or Metric Affine Gravity. I could go on, but you get the gist.
Physics is a _MODEL_ we make. Like a child in a dark room gluing a plastic airplane kit together, hoping it to fly. The Universe is not that.
Knowing an equation and knowing what is beyond it; the truth beneath... Well those are two very different things. We must respect the Universe more than our models of it; more than our equations. And sometimes, that means admitting we don't know.
@@onebylandtwoifbysearunifby5475 misrepresentation of science and mathematics is a problem I see in the US (I can’t speak for elsewhere) all the time, and you summed it up well. We use the models we use because they work to predict more situations accurately than the last model we used, but we can rarely predict all situations with just one model. Science is not an absolute, but a process for explanation and gaining a better understanding. At some point, you have to fill in the gaps with assumptions, and be content knowing the gaps are still there
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the realization that gravity is equivalent to acceleration goes beyond Newton; it is, in fact, a key principle of Einstein's general theory of relativity.
Observation: Right triangle in notebook.
Conclusion: DaVinci discovered gravity.
A falling object that moves in a straight line, means that is accelerated, because if it were to move at a constant speed, it would have followed a parabola, hence he actually understood that by matching that particular acceleration he was able to match the acceleration of an object that moves towards the ground
@@DarthVaderfr Or he drew it wrong because but he didn't have a good way to measure speed multiple times over such a short distance
@@Scampleton this is precisely what i was thinking. Sure, Da Vinci was a genius, but this exact extrapolation from an example drawing is extraordinarily excessive.
That does not make any sense. Can you explain it better?
@@DarthVaderfr The straight line between time slices indicate it traveled the same distance each equal time slice. That is constant velocity, not acceleration. If it were parabolic it would indicate acceleration.
a guy so awesome you can refer to him without ever mentioning his name
like The Bard
@@sakesaurus Sortof! More like saying "from Stratford-upon-Avon" and most folks know who you mean, because nobody knows anyone else from there.
But maybe folks know a LOT of people from Vinci
What a man, definitely wanna find out more of those things
So all the people before da Vinci just floated around everywhere
Funny, I often forget he was a painter and remember him for his inventions
Dr Joe , you say " it goes to show you never know who's reading your notebook " . Too bad he didn't invent a earlier form of Twitter 🤳.
Give it time........ they still have more notebooks to look through.
