you are: Opening in the Physicist

The First sprouts of physics as independent science appear in Renaissance though the majority of scientists of that time still are versatile persons - them all interests. And, certainly, the first among them Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519), the universal genius, prepared as the activity Renaissance science, brought invaluable contribution to art, the outstanding experimenter acts.

Leonardo Art, scientific and engineering activity proceed simultaneously. He suggests to use the river Arno for connection by the channel of cities of Florence and Pisa, writes together with Verokko a picture ' the Christening of the Christ ', then works in Milan as the military engineer, the hydrotechnician on service for duke Sfortsa (and also the architect, the sculptor and the painter) - and creates the ' the Last Supper '.

Leonardo has left to us drawing barki about which it is told that it can float against a wind; 40 years prior to Kopernik has written the treatise about rotation of the Earth; three centuries prior to Lavoisier spoke about ' vital air ' which we name oxygen; for hundred years it has overtaken Kardano, the inventor of the chamber-obskury, for 300 years - Sossjura, the inventor of a hygrometer. In mathematician Leonardo has entered signs ' + ' and ' - '; throwing stones in water, has explained distribution sound тюыэ... He is interested in aeronautics problems, studying flight of birds; is engaged in anatomy and again painting.

The Number, the inventions made it hugely, but almost all of them remained neopublished. In destiny and Leonardo person it is impossible to tear off the artist from the engineer, the painter from the anatomist, is a great mind: it dealt with any problem in vsestruzhii of the versatile knowledge.
