I hear him saying, in Howard Starks voice, "I'm limited by the technology of my time."

You can also Interlibrary Loan the article. Request it thru any library and they’ll get a copy of the article emailed to you or printed.

Many thanks for this. There's also a Leonardo sub, where I've put this article (via Cal-tech): https://www.reddit.com/r/LeonardodaVinci/comments/112wv59/leonardo_da_vincis_forgotten_experiments_explored/?

If you email the author they will most likely sent it to you for free as they usually not paid for it. I did that with another paper.

Alexander the Great and Roy Cohn come to mind. It used to be much easier for people to maintain their privacy. There are plenty of figures throughout history where there were rumors about their sexuality, but where there is no way of knowing for sure.

I fought in two wars. It's most definitely bullets and beans. This is just wrong.

Leonardo da Vinci (1452 to 1519), was ahead of his time in his investigations of the concept of gravity. His research was first discovered in the Codex Arundel, a compilation of da Vinci's writings on topics that included science, art, and personal experiences. In his notes, da Vinci detailed an experiment in which a water jug was moved parallel to the ground, releasing either water or sand. He observed that the sand or water would accelerate and fall at an entirely downward acceleration due to gravity. Additionally, da Vinci observed that the horizontal acceleration of the material stopped, implying that there was no more external force being applied to it. Unfortunately he used an incorrect equation, still, his insights into the concept of gravity were significantly ahead of his time. The paper is here but unfortunately protected by a paywall. https://direct.mit.edu/leon/article-abstract/doi/10.1162/leon_a_02322/113863/Leonardo-da-Vinci-s-Visualization-of-Gravity-as-a?redirectedFrom=fulltext

So much of history of the front lines must've passed through their hands

BBCs "In Our Time: History", Daniele Bolelli's "History on Fire" he does an excellent job on narrative but a major complaint I've heard is his voice can be a bit hard to understand since he's a native Italian speaker, "Stuff you missed in History class", Malcolm Gladwell's "Revisionist History"

Did you even read the part about how discriminatory that generation was towards women and people of color? That generation was remarkably segregated.

I remember reading that when I looked up the history of the building, was sat in their "cellar bar" trying to imagine larpers running around the corridors.

Sounded absolutely fantastic, also very cool it kickstarted the movement in the UK.

Everybody thinks it's bullets and beans. It's actually bullets, letters, then beans.
