Seeing as this is a conservative site and I'm, therefore, assuming you're a conservative, perhaps you'll understand when I say I want nothing to do with anything coming out of Berkeley! I've been there and done that! The depths to which Berkeley has sunk into liberalism and all that THAT entails is my bottom line rationale for not giving their teachings much authority (altho I'm sure some of their teachings are credible).

Does de Vinci's refutation from 1500 still hold in scientific circles these days? Seems as if some of his concerns must have been either factually confirmed or invalidated?

So I found the infomation on Berekely's website. I fail to see how that's relevant unless you have reason to believe they are misreporting the contents of da Vinci's papers.

The IEEE reports similarly.
The Astronomy Dept. at New Mexico State University concurs.
As does the Leonardo da Vinci exhibit at the American Museum of Natural History.

If you want to read The Codex Leicester in its original form, however, you'll have to contact Bill Gates, who bought it in 1995. I will fully admit that I have not done so myself; I can't read mirror-imaged 16th-Century Italian.
