We cannot honour DaVinci enough, that man was such a bloody genius
DKLK in my opinion a more genius than einstein
@@ddudduru9601 yup 😊👍 Einstein
Is fail 👎
@IntoThe Space yes I mean yup 😊👍
Yep, he has a lot of different skills
a genius among geniuses
Da Vinci was, I believe, a clear example of the genius potential of the human mind unassisted by technology and without the continuous distraction that comes with it. 👌
We have humans today who are much more intelligent. Da Vinci is historically one of the most intelligent beings to walk the Earth but his resources were dramatically limited, restricting his overall progress. I wouldn't call 400 years of substantial progress in STEM a 'distraction'.
Guess everyone always just forget Nikola Tesla....
Leonardo Da Vinci was a Fricken Legend, He Had Such a Different Perspective on Everything, And Such a Diverse Scientific View on Everything. In My Opinion he May Have Been the Smartest And Most Talented Man Alive.
@@kevinm6885 Cela me semble un commentaire bien superficiel et imprudent et peut-être même sot. Ce n'est pas sérieux de statuer avec certitude que aujourd'hui nous avons des humains plus intelligents que Da Vinci. Sans doute on aurait pu dire la même chose de l'époque précédente, mais la réalité est que l'on doit juger chaque époque par rapport à elle-même et à ses conditons, sinon on change les variables en jeu et le discours n'a plus aucun sens. Pourvu, d'ailleurs, qu'on puisse à coup sûr comparer les intelligences de ce type et que ce soit fructueux. On devrait plutôt apprécier la personne et ses trouvailles de manière organique, comme un tout, un cadeau.
@@dianamatakovic yup Tesla was a genius and so was Einstein but da vinci was a genius among genius he did so much in so many fields with very little resources and technology
Wikipedia says: "... areas of interest included invention, painting, sculpting, architecture, science, music, mathematics, engineering, literature, anatomy, geology, astronomy, botany, writing, history, and cartography" How can a man have skills in all these fields?
They didn't have internet at that time so they had a lot of time.
People underestimate themselves and self-limit their learning too often. If people would just spend hundreds of hours reading books and trying different things, almost anyone could become an expert in almost anything.
@@JuankM1050 TRUE That!! All amazing people in the past had TIME to think and consider things not just superficially, but TRUELY DEEPLY. A huge advantage of not having the Internet to steal their time!
@@JuankM1050 Internet may be a distraction to most people but there are few who are use Internet wisely. If Da Vinci is that few, he would be way smarter than he was. People severely underestimate the amount of time you can waste going to libraries searching for books.
RookieN08 Too much stimulation and factors can interfere with brain capability of focusing on tasks thought. From Malcolm Gladwell’s best selling book FOCUS and BLINK, one can take that the most efficient learner operate at minimum data. Of course it goes back to each person, in this case, Leonardo, can either be a bit more genius, or a total failure.
Ol' Bill ain't doing too shabby, got a respectable nerdy brag wall. No robotech figs tho.
This comment deserves more attention.
??
Thanks, I was thinking the exact same thing.
You mean, Macross...
Yeah he’s doing not bad for a youtuber, sticks to it and he might even reach AvE standards. You should really do a collaboration with him….give the guy a chance y’know.
Its very kind of Bill to share this with us. A lot of the time such pieces of history go into an endless slumber in a private collection; never to be seen again
im happy that if anybody has to own some of these artifacts of the past, its people like Bill that is willing to share this with the rest of the society
If I name my son Trill Gates
Will his lifetime networth reach trillion dollars?
Wow, Bill as in "Billionaire", that's an amusing coincidence lol
Haha nice
And he can do wicrosoft mindoms 01
I thought his is actually William?
😂
Cool idea. It would be great to have this implemented as an app or website so people can really appreciate the detail.
I think just a video review on TH-cam will do. The beautiful thing about da Vinci’s notebooks to me is actually how natural yet paradoxical it seems to make our own, similar notebooks. At first glance, it looks like a mess, until you realize the notebook is meant to capture a geek-out essentially (lul) and da Vinci did that PERFECTLY
Leonardo Da Vinci was a mathematician, an artist, an inventor and so much more... He must have had a twin or two to be all of this at the same time!
You call such people a polymath, my love.
Cult leader above all
Bill Gates acts like he's the good billionaire, he should put his money where his mouth is and lobby for a carbon tax.
IizUname carbon tax is a lot of bull.
a TWIN?!? o JESUSCRYZOOPuRSTAR don’t get me ASTARTE’d on that pay-in-folle subject of Maya’m ....
This is brilliant! Wish it was also available in website form so even more people can experience it :)
I also appreciate Da Vinci as an inspirational figure very much. Thanks for your always very cool insights!
Gates, the gate keeper! Illuminate our minds
This horror of a human being couldnt illuminate, even with a giant torch. The irony of this is da Vinci was a real genius, billy boy just thinks he is.
It's fascinating how things line up. When you seek out the elements that are meant to go together, but have yet to comprise
Leonardo Da Vinci is one of the most amazing human beings ever walked the Earth!
I love Leonardo da Vinci 😍
This is very cool. The power of curiosity, creativity, and scientific inquiry is truly amazing.
Wish Codescope would release on any of the current platforms. Even as a paid version. This project can contribute immensely to the education of all people, who don't have a chance to visit said expositions. The work behind the software looks impressive!
I wish, so much, that this was available online for us all to see.
He was super-awesome because he catalogued his findings, quantified them, furthered his ideas.
I’m all mental.
And verbal.
Totally digging this channel. Subscribed! Great work!
Leonardo Da Vinci is one of my idols and i really love him and his way of linking things... bill you are so awesome to have one of his books... you really do have lots of knowledge like Leonardo at this point..❤❤❤❤😘😘😘😘😊😊😇😇 happy holidays
It is incredible how my country (italy) it doesn't elaborate Leonardo Da Vinci and all the work he did in the past... (This is how i transpose). Meanwhile you guys, care a lot about his amazing job and try to understand better him and his work. This is so beautiful. I wish we could take care more about this things.
Leonardo da Vinci wrote, “... it would seem that if the moon should have density, as it has, it would
have gravity, and, having gravity, that the space where it resides could not sustain it and in consequence it would
have to descend towards the center of the universe and join with the earth; and if not it, at least its waters would
have to fall and desert it and fall towards the center and leave the moon deserted by the waters and without
luster.”
In Chapter XVI, Book 9, No. 958,
”And if you should think that the moon, rising at the Eastern end of the Mediterranean sea must there begin to attract to herself the waters of the sea, it would follow that we must at once see the effect of it at the Eastern end of that sea,” said Leonardo da Vinci.
These words of his reminds me of Michelangelo's painting, “The Creation of Adam.” In times of enlightenment, pioneers sometimes see themselves in the faraway moon & hope that the sun won't steal the Earth from them. People have been looking for God the Creator in the sky since humans realized they were individuals.
I'll say it this way, since you're a Pioneer, Mo, on the forefront of creating our future. Remember when Jesus said that if he is a God, than so are we all? The sky only seems complicated because it is faraway in the deep ocean of stars. Earth is like the floor of heaven and the ceiling of the underworld, where spirits of all kinds can meet. Kind of like the bar in Star Wars: the New Hope, where Hans Solo & Wookie visit souls of all sorts. It's complicated, yet so is an impatiens plant which grows from a tiny seed, each plant unique, encouraged by the environment but not created by it.
Used this Codescope in Uffizi Gallery in Florence while referring to Codex Leicester in the vicinity! A wonderful experience. Really wish Codescope is released as an independent app.
"And that idea that if you just look carefully, that you could figure the world out world 🌍" amazing.
Cool video. I'm glad to see Bill is preserving it so well.
I like how he shared it with the public he's very kind'
He has the feeling of having something others dont have
That's really meaningful for humanity, i think Da'vinci is most genius person in the world history.
I definitely wanna learn more about him, he seems like someone worth learning about
Being able to understand his notes sounds amazing o.o
My mind is blown and what if we can extend this to an app where we all have available access to such technology and learn more about Leonardo da Vinci's Notebook. I think that would be incredible on top of what is out there!
He should have made the codex available on every version of Windows 10.
At the very least.
Thank you for sharing this Bill. I had the pleasure of seeing it first hand when you lent The Codex Leicester to the Phoenix Art Museum in 2015. It really is a window into the writings of one the worlds foremost thinkers.
Amazing, would like to see the exhibition.
The sub bass on the Background track os awesome.
Vinci has taught humanity that what our brain can do . Amzing !
I could watch these mini clips all day lol
Please do watch this video if you like to know more about leonardo da vinci

Congrats! You are now verified on youtube.
Thanks for doing that Trey. A great gift to the world.. what an amazing mind. Great to see you poring over this amazing manuscript with new technology, It makes me feel inferior and valueless in my current state with a total lack of contribution to The Universe.. that Da Vinci was able to put a pencil to all this and document these great discoveries so long ago is astounding. I love these ancient archeological finds.. like the current work being performed 9n the Dead Sea scrolls. We're explorers, you and i.. discoverers.. would be fascinating, if I live much longer.. to see what discoveries of artifacts and technology we can make happen with all the Space Exploration companies coming on strong.. I saw today that President Trump has signed into US Law a US Space Command.. a cabinet level posting I hope..
I love that software!!!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DOING THIS!! You're amazing!
I know right, love his workk !!!
good to see bill finally embracing the click wheel. zune 5 is gonna b lit. 0:52
Super interesting!
that's awesome Bill!
will there be a browsing option to view it from home ?
Such an ancient notebook, but in quite good shape. Everything is legible, apparently.
You should consider making the codescope into an app. Even if it was a paid app, I would buy it.
Please make the CODESCOPE available online so more people can get the chance to experience it.
There has been something similar available since 2011. The Royal Collection Trust, which represents Leonardo da Vinci's anatomical drawings in the Royal Library, Windsor Castle, has developed and sold an iPad app that allows you to view all of Leonardo's anatomical drawings and notes as they actually appear, or to hold up a virtual mirror and see a mirror image of the original writing, or to open a text box with an English translation of Leonardo's notes. The app includes a virtual 3-D model, which the user can manipulate, to illustrate the various organs of the body that Leonardo drew. Unfortunately, this app is only available for the anatomical drawings. Some of the institutions that house other notebooks have well-designed, informative websites, such as the Victoria and Albert Museum. The National Air and Space Museum has a scanned copy of Leonardo's Codex on the Flight of Birds on its website, along with an English translation and modern renderings of the original drawings.
Wow that thing is incredible. I need to get one!!!
Interesting video, thanks for sharing
Thank you so much for letting people appreciate all these wonderful treasures.
And thanks for being humble and share with us all the books titles and ideas that model your actual thoughts.
Hope you have great moments with your family these Holidays, Mr. Gates.
So beautiful!
Thank you for sharing ✌️
This tool shouldn't have such a relic. It belongs in a museum.
Art and science
Leonardo was a true genius.

Mr. Gates, you videos are fascinating and I'm happy that you are taking time out of you busy schedule to create online video content, but I would like to know why Microsoft isn't creating a video sharing platform to compete with TH-cam. TH-cam could sure use some competition considering everything that's been going on lately.
Thank you sir.....
thanks for this Bill
Super. Thank you
Sir thank for information
It'd be so great to have a Codex App.
That's awesome! Thanks.
Bill , could you PLEASE publish a full translated version of it? We all know you can easily afford it, and it will bring you more income, and enlightens us all.
As also a left-handed artist, civil engineer. ADHDer, designer, and a curious man, I share a lot with Da Vinci. I can even easily mirror-wright and read. I am so fascinated by his work and I truly wish that I can read his translated notes.
I know you probably don’t manage the channel yourself, but whoever is doing that, please help delivering the message to Mr. Gates.
🙏🏼, excellent. Please let me see the turning of his hand writing in reading on the mirror! Please 😊.
Unfortunate that he didn't get much recognition when he was alive. But now the boi is a popcluture icon.
Thank you!
Happy new year 💯 & +
I don’t have a computer. My daughter got me a iPod and I have been going crazy on it.Mr Gates,I been a great fan of your for years.Since you and Mr Allen(god bless him)started Microsoft.I wish you good fortune and continued great life.
Thank you Sir.
Love you sir....I think this world needs more people who can actually think about making other peoples life better.
He probably has one of the best library's
And he has read the books
So is it online yet?
Are there any plans to make the codescope available online as a web service?
you are such a great man
Thank you sir
Hi
How I can read codex leicester in English, for example like in your video?
Thanks
The specific technology Gates is using in this video is something that will be installed in museums throughout Europe that contain Da Vinci's works in 2019. Such a shame we can't get it here in America
@@leftyfourguns I've bought the book in Portuguese, Leonardo da Vinci biography of Walter Isaacson..
@HealthInfo Thank you!
@@leftyfourguns yes, I'm from Brazil, south america.
Great app!
It is very perfect book. I want to read this book .📿 what beautiful book .
@gatesnotes why aren't the Codescope accessible to everyone? I was quite surprised all the notes book weren't fully digitised
I wish this could be an app
Thank you.
Thanks Bill, very cool.
Is there an online version of the Codex Leiester as presented here? I think this software is really cool. But do I have to go the museum to see it?
wish I can download this or something
fantastic .......
safe in hands of a smart person
Yeah,, by reading books, we can add insight 👍good idea Mr ✌
Definitely a true inspiration.

hey Bill can i please come take a tour of your library just so i can use that cool device awesome
I would love to know the museums and the dates.
That´s a shame only can see the codex in Europe, looks very intresting and easy to understand Da Vinci, I´m from Argentina and as ever we lost a lost of posibilities because we aren´t the "first world"
Is there any way I can read Leonardo da Vinci by Walter Isaacson for free through pdf or epub/mobi English?
Please help :)
Why not put the codescope in the play store so that everyone can try it instead of putting it on some fancy museum idk where
Where can I see the full video?
Dream museum ! #davinci 🙌
Ohhh. Is it just like in the movies?
Happy new year
Thanks Bill. Amazing.
