google for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction and newtons law of motion comes up and says he said it but davinci said that hundreds of years earlier in a notebook...they all had access to his other notebooks. some that are still secret. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a hidden or lost book where he invented calculs too.

there are also some indians where they had missionarries that claim they invented calculus hundreds of years earlier. hes also accused of fraud on other things like Hooke claimed Newton's theory of light and color was stolen from ideas he produced 7 years earlier (in 1665)

The Newton Leibniz dispute is famous. There is no way divinvi invented calculus because it itself was dependent on certain recent advances in math and notation. Saying there is X, even if that is true and I am not aware that it is, is far far different than proving it is true mathematically, quantifiying it and then using that development to prove that it appiles to everything from planets to apples, not to mention the notations and proofs. If davinci had done this, he'd have told people and used it.

Davinci was great. Sure he was. But anyway the pointof myu post was not to examine far off theories about Newton's relatve contributions. Peace/.

He got that from gallileo who may or may not have got it from davinci. Also the modern conception of calculus doesn't look like newtons version and it doesn't look like any hindu version.
