A man far ahead of his time. Wish we had one like him now (well, I guess we actually might, but if we do he was turned into Antifa material by his “teachers” long ago and will be absolutely useless to humanity because of it).

Thanks! I love this stuff.
"It's the power of geometry."
Many infallible proofs.
The crucial moment came, as it does in projects like these, with the adding of the keystone.

a very cool design... it would have been a wonder of the world if he were allowed to build it.

Some people really do seem to be ahead of their time.
During their lifetime, they are underappreciated, ignored, ridiculed or exploited by others who do see the value of their inventions. Nikola Tesla was also that way.

Did they account for the weight properly? As linear size doubles, volume or mass increases eightfold (2 cube).

I wonder why the da Vinci used a ‘pair of pants’ design to connect to the support point on each side. Yes it saves a bit of material to put that arch in there but it seems to be a lot of extra work for no additional gain. Was it aesthetics?

And next month Popular Mechanics will post an article on how to use science to tear down this bridge designed by a white guy.

(To close with and destroy....)
.
Proving a design ‘works’ is one thing (ignoring that its also ‘proved’ on paper) .
Having a way to actually build it to have that DESIGN is a whole nuther thing.
