Leonardo da Vinci is a legend, and in every field he has dabbled in, he is as brilliant as gold. The charm of his is that he has both restrained rationality and prudence in science, and can also sway in the ocean of art with unrestrained sensibility.
Da vinci
In terms of artistic attainments, he has left only more than twenty paintings in his lifetime, but each one is regarded as a classic. On the road of scientific research, he was a pioneer in astronomy and a practitioner of physics. He explored optics and mechanics, devoting himself to geology and archaeology with keen observation.
In human civilization, water conservancy and architecture are used to benefit the contemporary era, and archaeology is traced back to the past... There are indeed wizards and talents in the world, such as Newton, such as Einstein. But the talents of both Einstein and Newton bloomed in a single field.

Only Leonardo da Vinci can shine and lead in all areas unrelated. Is it really talented? Can't help but make us wonder: Could leonardo da Vinci's brain have been "transformed" by aliens?
Heart puzzle
500 years ago, Leonardo da Vinci drew a delicate heart on his manuscript. The heart has four ventricles, clear myocardial trabeculae, and coronary arteries. Leonardo da Vinci learned about the anatomy of the human body by dissecting corpses, carefully recording them in manuscripts each time.
Leonardo da Vinci's hand-painted heart
By the time he was 40 years old, he had dissected 10 human bodies, and by the time he died, the number of dissections in the manuscript had reached 30. Leonardo da Vinci's manuscript reads: "This layer of structure (myocardial trabecula) is certainly not intended to decorate it." Until then, researchers for generations had been unclear about the role of the trabecular.
But by analyzing 25,000 MRI images, it was found that blood flows faster on the rough ventricular surface. Through genetic engineering, the researchers destroyed the genes of the lab rat embryo heart machine trabeculum.

The experimental results found that mice without this gene would suffer from heart disease. They concluded: "The more complex the myocardial trabecular, the lower the probability of developing heart failure." "500 years later, contemporary researchers have answered Leonardo da Vinci's question across time and space.
Leonardo da Vinci's artistic achievements
Leonardo da Vinci, who lived in the 15th century, was deeply influenced by the active ideas of the Renaissance. The talent for painting about him can be felt in the stories of his early years. Leonardo da Vinci, 14, left his hometown for the more active-thinking Florence.
Da Vinci painted eggs
As a child, Leonardo da Vinci wanted to become an artist, so he fell under and served under André del Verrocchio. Verrocchio was a famous artist of the time who taught the basic principles of Leonardo da Vinci's painting by depicting eggs.
In his sixth year of studying with his teachers, Leonardo da Vinci had become the youngest member of the Florença Painters' Guild. When Leonardo da Vinci was 23 years old, in the oil painting "Baptism of Christ" created with his teacher Rocchio, he was responsible only for painting the background and a little angel who only showed his face. However, after Verogchio saw Leonardo da Vinci's agile little angel, he said, "I may only be able to take the carving knife in the future." After that, Verrocchio stopped painting and turned to sculpture.
The Baptism of Christ
Painting technique was not the ultimate goal pursued by Leonardo da Vinci, who later expanded painting into various fields of art. He tackled three important problems across architecture, sculpture, and painting.
First, he designed monumental dome buildings and planned ideal towns; second, he created sketches of equestrian statues for the Duke of Milan; and third, he solved the problem of altarpieces and frescoes.
In terms of artistic creation, Leonardo da Vinci left few but fine paintings. The world-famous Mona Lisa shocked the humanistic society of that era and awakened the minds of thousands of artists. Mona Lisa's smile is still shrouded in mystery, and the right hand in the painting is also called "the most beautiful hand in the history of art".
Mona Lisa's Smile
It is worth mentioning that this painting was painted by a duke who invited Leonardo da Vinci. But Leonardo da Vinci liked the painting too much and fled with the painting. Later, every year, a large number of people come to the Louvre to admire this world-famous painting worth 3.45 billion US dollars.
Leonardo da Vinci's work also includes the mural "The Last Supper", which not only reflects his superb painting skills, but also his insight into human nature.
Scientific achievements
Leonardo da Vinci's hobbies were unproductive and extensive, and he observed and studied the whole world with infinite curiosity. In astronomy, Leonardo da Vinci had a negative attitude towards the "geocentric theory" that prevailed at that time.
Leonardo da Vinci proposed the heliocentric theory
He was the first to propose the "heliocentric theory", even before Copernicus. He predicted that the solar energy resources that could be used in the future were indeed realized in modern times.
In optical research, Leonardo da Vinci designed instruments and pinhole imaging experiments to study light. He believes that the speed of light is recognizable. The movement of light, sound waves, and water waves is consistent.
Leonardo da Vinci was also fascinated by machinery. In his more than 6,000 pages of manuscripts, we find many installation drawings that look advanced even in modern times. Such as gyroscopes, reverse spirals, clockwork drives, underwater breathing devices, mechanical vehicles...
Manuscript of Leonardo da Vinci's mechanical design
He even designed a robot that could move. Leonardo da Vinci encouraged the construction of water conservancy and put into practice, promoting the development of Renaissance production. He presided over the construction of irrigation projects along the Pavia Canal with good results, and he also designed many sluice gates and dams.
Leonardo da Vinci was also a musician with a beautiful voice, a good piano player, and an architect with ideas.....
Leonardo da Vinci manuscript
In order to avoid wasted working hours, a set of sleep methods was designed. Throughout the day, Leonardo da Vinci slept 20 minutes for every 4 hours of work. The total sleep time of the day is only about two hours, but you can get 22 hours of awake time.
Fantastic experience
Leonardo da Vinci was a pioneer of his time in every field, and we can't help but wonder: was he really transformed by "aliens"?
On April 23, 1452, Leonardo da Vinci was born in the small town of Finch. Leonardo da Vinci's mother was an ordinary sharecropper and his father was a wealthy legal notary. The difference in parental status led to Leonardo da Vinci being born as an illegitimate child.
Leonardo da Vinci's ordinary childhood seems to be nothing special, but an experience as a child caught our attention. Leonardo da Vinci's records write that he was hit by a bird as a child. There is a speculation here that it may not be a bird that hit Leonardo da Vinci, but an alien flying machine. At the time of the impact, the aliens injected knowledge into Leonardo da Vinci's brain.
Echoing this, Leonardo da Vinci once entered an unknown cave. We don't know what Leonardo da Vinci went through in the cave, only that he spent almost two years in the cave. And what makes people feel different from ordinary people is that Leonardo da Vinci, who was originally prolific, did not have any works in these two years.
Wormholes
After coming out of that mysterious cave, Leonardo da Vinci shined in various fields. Some speculate that Leonardo da Vinci found a wormhole left by aliens in the cave. He enters the wormhole of the parallel universe, travels to the modern era, learns the knowledge of the next 500 years, and then returns to his own time. He spent 500 years in the wormhole, while the time outside flowed for only 2 years.
summary
The height and dimension of Leonardo da Vinci's thought were not only beyond people's understanding, but also beyond the era at that time. One can only explain Leonardo da Vinci's achievements through fantasy. In the eyes of our modern people, this is the spirit of innovation.
Off-white tribute to Leonardo da Vinci
In this day and age, his foresight has become a reality. Leonardo da Vinci's innovation is not marginal, but the result of down-to-earth research through practical research. This also encourages modern us to focus on practice and innovation, and the future is in our hands.
