Sunny Morning sent you by. And now, back to the
show. Let's talk science. A London -based dentist
has uncovered a hidden -in -plain -sight third
shape within Leonardo da Vinci's famous Vitruvian
man drawing. This discovery reveals a deeper
understanding of human anatomy, as the equilateral
triangle identified between the figure's legs
corresponds to a dental principle known as Bonneville's
triangle. Dr. Rory McSweeney published his findings
in the Journal of Mathematics and Arts, suggesting
that Leonardo's illustration incorporates geometric
principles that foreshadow modern biological
architecture. This connection highlights the
intricate relationship between mathematics and
human proportions, suggesting that Leonardo grasped
fundamental truths about reality itself. entertainment
