Leonardo da Vinci’s lost sketches show early gravity experiments

Leonardo da Vinci’s centuries-old sketches reveal he may have understood key aspects of gravity long before Galileo, Newton and Einstein. 

A recent study from the California Institute of Technology examined diagrams in da Vinci’s notebooks that had been long forgotten about. These notebooks, which have now been digitized, show experiments from the early 1500s of particles falling from a pitcher, demonstrating gravity is a form of acceleration, according to a statement (opens in new tab) from the university.
