Leonardo and Einstein
I do not know if by chance Einstein’s theory of relativity may also be found in one of the yet undeciphered books of Leonardo.
Not likely. The age of art and science which Leonardo set in motion was that which closed with the nineteenth century. Relativity belongs to a new movement of knowledge.
