The predictions of the genius of Leonardo da Vinci

In the 15th century, Leonardo da Vinci foretold the existence of means that only came out 400-500 years later, such as telephones and television. And many new devices appeared that were actually in his design long ago.

In October 2002, in the United Kingdom, a unique flying device made of wood, bird feathers and excretions of a coconut bug like Leonardo started 500 years ago. It is the prototype of modern umbrellas and modern roller coaster. By his inventions, he proved that humans can fly in an era where no one dared to dream about that miracle.

As early as 1483, Leonardo recorded on the margin of the drawing: ' If one finds a linen cloth with a width and height of 12 males (the unit of length of 91.44 cm in English length), he has can jump down from any height without anything '. In 1777, a French prisoner named Jean Dumie accepted the experiment of a " flying jacket " created by Professor Fontagie following Leonardo's sketches. For Jean Dumie, this is a gamble: If you escape death after a jump, law enforcement will not have the right to take your life. Dumie made a jump from the roof of the prison tower and lived.

The exact replica of the balloon that Leonardo described recently was tested by an Englishman named Edrian Nicolas. On an 85 kg device made of materials that were available in the Middle Ages, he flew nearly 2,500 meters on fields in South Africa. This balloon reached 3,000 m, despite the experts' expectation that this " wooden and ramie box " could not fly. The tester asserted that, while flying, Leonardo himself had "blessed him" for his prayers.

In the field of military engineering invented by Leonardo, the " wooden turtle " (model of the armored car) 500 years ago was the precursor to the modern tank. 12 people can be accommodated: 8 people are arranged in the apricot holes to fire guns at the enemy, one is above to observe the battlefield, the others control the movement of the " turtle ".

It is difficult to list all of Leonardo's inventions. Increasingly, the world is becoming more and more aware that this strange person has surpassed his time not 500 years but more than that. Today, we are just beginning to understand some of his ideas. Cars, airplanes, airships are just a few of the designs he started.

Recently, at the 40th session of the ' Vinci Symposium ' taking place in Florence, an American mechanical engineer - Mr. Elling Roshaim - declared: The famous painting of Leonardo in the volume of The Atlantic Manuscript ", which is considered the prototype of a modern car," is a description of the programmed robot. "With the support of positive films and digital reprogramming, Roshaim explained. Like that: One of the drawings of the manuscript by Leonardo in 1478, at the age of 26, is the device that is programmed automatically, capable of overcoming a clear journey, stopping, turning right. and turn left according to the program specified for it.

Some researchers also see in the drawings of Leonardo the prototype of future computers, digital cameras, television .

Da Vinci - People from the future?

In Leonardo ' note ', we read the genius predictions of the future achievements of science and technology:

About the phone : 'People will talk to each other from the most distant countries and will answer each other as if they are together'.

About video recording and tape: 'People will walk without moving, can speak to the absent, listen to the silent people'.

On television broadcasting : 'Everyone will scatter all over the world in a flash without moving out of position' .

Such predictions about the future occupy hundreds of pages of writing. And today, not all of those predictions are well understood. All phenomena such as flying magic, telepathy, telepathy . are described by Leonardo. In Leonardo's writings, people even find portrayals of fishmen. He proposed the idea of ​​ships, bicycles, helicopters, armored ships, contact lenses, telescopes, thanks to it 'being able to see the moon and stars at a level exaggerate ' .

From where did Leonardo learn all that? Can he alone invent all these wonders? Where do you know what will happen? These difficult-to-explain questions make many people think that Leonardo has come from the future, where such technologies have long been a reality.
