Hello all, usual good wishes!

Now, this isn't exactly an argument, but Mr P and I have been discussing this and cannot agree, so we are asking you!

Who would you say was the greater/more important/made the greatest contribution of these two, Leonardo da Vinci or Albert Einstein?

It is impossible to judge their contribution only whose work we can relate to better.
I can’t decide. (As always).

There contributions were to different areas so I don't think you can compare them.

Could someone please tell me the title of the programme which has been mentioned so I could try and find it on catch up TV. I have not been well, have missed lots of programmes and OH has thrown last weeks TV mag out. I don't want to complain as he has recorded all the main series for me to watch when I'm ready but he would not appreciate me asking for him to go and rummage in the bin.

There was a series of short programmes about Leonardo on Radio 4 last week, during one of which it was stated the Leonardo's understanding of the valve flow in the human heart was not matched until the 20th century.
