British scientist Isaac Newton is well known for finding out the law of universal gravitation. A recent study by experts shows that Leonardo da Vinci understood gravity well before Newton following observing an apple falling from a tree in the summer of 1666.Specifically, in 2017, Professor Mory Gharib and colleagues at the California Institute of Technology researched and analyzed “Codex Arundel” – a collection of articles, drafted by Da Vinci wrote on scientific, artistic and personal topics.The “Codex Arundel” dates from 1480 to 1518. “What caught my attention was when Da Vinci wrote “Equatione di Moti” on the hypotenuse of one of the triangles. my sketched triangle – that triangle is an isosceles right triangle. I was beginning to want to know what Da Vinci meant by that phrase.”These Da Vinci’s sketch shows a pitcher moving along a straight line parallel to the ground, pouring water or sand out.According to Professor Gharib, Da Vinci’s notes in “Codex Arundel” make it clear that when poured out, the contents will not fall at a constant speed but will accelerate.Professor Gharib, along with researchers Chris Roh and Flavio Noca, used a computer model to run Da Vinci’s water bottle experiment.From here, the team that discovered Da Vinci modeled the gravitational constant with 97% accuracy.The results of the team’s research show that Da Vinci studied gravity decades before Newton. However, he did not achieve the same achievements as Newton.However, they cannot deny that Da Vinci is a genius with many achievements in fields such as painting, anatomy, architecture, philosophy…Invite readers to watch the video: Vietnamese painters draw pictures to promote the prevention and control of Covid-19 epidemic.

British scientist Isaac Newton is well known for finding out the law of universal gravitation. A recent study by experts shows that Leonardo da Vinci understood gravity well before Newton following observing an apple falling from a tree in the summer of 1666.
Specifically, in 2017, Professor Mory Gharib and colleagues at the California Institute of Technology researched and analyzed “Codex Arundel” – a collection of articles, drafted by Da Vinci wrote on scientific, artistic and personal topics.
The “Codex Arundel” dates from 1480 to 1518. “What caught my attention was when Da Vinci wrote “Equatione di Moti” on the hypotenuse of one of the triangles. my sketched triangle – that triangle is an isosceles right triangle. I was beginning to want to know what Da Vinci meant by that phrase.”
These Da Vinci’s sketch shows a pitcher moving along a straight line parallel to the ground, pouring water or sand out.
According to Professor Gharib, Da Vinci’s notes in “Codex Arundel” make it clear that when poured out, the contents will not fall at a constant speed but will accelerate.
Professor Gharib, along with researchers Chris Roh and Flavio Noca, used a computer model to run Da Vinci’s water bottle experiment.
