What are the most amazing contributions of Leonardo Da Vinci to science and inventions?
Leonardo da Vinci known for his popular drawing of the portrait of Mona Lisa is also a major contributor to science but unfortunately most of his works are not known and even celebrated.
I'd like to know his amazing contributions to science and his inventions.
Leonardo Da Vinci made some important contribution in both science and art. As an engineer, Leonardo conceived ideas vastly ahead of his own time, conceptually inventing the parachute, an improved version of the helicopter, an armored fighting vehicle, the use of concentrated solar power, a calculator, a rudimentary theory of plate tectonics and the double hull. In practice, he greatly advanced the state of knowledge in the fields of anatomy, astronomy, civil engineering, optics, and the study of water (hydrodynamics).
Leonardo's most famous drawing, the Vitruvian Man, is a study of the proportions of the human body, linking art and science in a single work that has come to represent Renaissance Humanism.
