Marsilio Ficino’s endeavour to bring about a rebirth of Platonic science as The Great Renaissance was premature. Visual evidence that Plato’s theory that ethical mathematical electromagnetic or spiritual information resided within plane geometry was not visible for scientific ratification until the 21st Century. The genius of Leonardo da Vinci included his
intuition about this future discovery. “Paraphrasing Plato, Leonardo writes: Do not read to me who is not a mathematician ... No human investigation can be considered science if it is not demonstrated mathematically ... Rejoice to know the end of those things that are drawn from your mind” (2).
Plato’s ethical electromagnetic mathematical human survival message within plane geometry is now clearly visible. It contains vital curvature optics information functioning beyond the limitations of tribal science. Leonardo da Vinci in his Book of Notes makes no mention of curvature mathematical optics. However, his ‘artistic intuition’, essential to the Nobel
Laureate Szent-Györgyi’s concept of a future ethical medical science, included a future celebration of Plato’s ethical geometric thought forms. This, without question, belongs to the fundamental scientific fabric of the 21st Century Renaissance.
