THESE ARE NOT PREDICTIONS. THEY WERE ACTUALLY INVENTED. THERE IS NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN

[@TheCommenterDragon]

Due to the lack of technological advancement at the time, People had mocked Leonardo Da Vinci's ideas for centuries. But eventually it was his gliders and aeriel screws that inspired the invention of the airplane and the helicopter.

[@盧璘壽로인수]

alongside those inventions were war machines (including siege weapons, as walled embattlements were still a thing during the Renaissance) and flood controls projects such as dams

[@johnfarmer888]

It's wild H. G. Wells lived long enough to see his prediction of the atomic bombs come to be real.

[@ewok40k]

To add to Verne"s tally of predictions: - USS Nautilus , first nuclear submarine, was named exactly as Captains Nemo fantastic submarine of the 1860s novel 20.000 leagues under the sea. And the nuclear submarine repeated a feat described in the book, surfacing on a Earths Pole, only difference being that Verne described it was South Pole, not knowing of the extent of Antarctica, and in reality it was North Pole.

[@dumymariposa6795]

I was expecting this comment.Didn't have to look too far. Yes, the submarine had the same name, almost as if they named it in honor of Verne's story!Weird!

[@tylergoodman3560]

Many people in Leonardo DaVinci's era said he was crazy because there were no flying machines; well, who's laughing now? 🎉

[@TheCommenterDragon]

Exactly. Due to the lack of technological advancement at that time people mocked Da Vinci and his ideas for centuries, But little did those people know that Leonardo's inventions eventually inspired the invention other actual working flying machines like airplanes and helicopters.

[@BlackHatCinephile]

There were flying machines. Da Vinci hid some diagrams of some. The Rulership wants its slaves to believe we went hundreds of thousands of years on the horse and buggy level, even though we went from that to THIS in a hundred and fifty years. Truth is, we've been advanced many times, but the Templars set us back to basics every thousand years, by confiscating the tech and any record of it. That's who Da Vinci was hiding his diagrams from. The fact that the models actually work is proof that they weren't prototypes, they were upgrades of existing tech. First prototypes never work right, they are step one in the development process. But Da Vinci's models worked perfectly.

[@asmodiusjones9563]

Well, those people aren’t, because they died hundreds of years ago, but they surely did laugh their entire lives.

[@CandiceVidito]

It's actually surprising on how many predictions have come true over the years.

[@OneHunnitNoCapStannitOnBidnisz]

You should look into a book called the Bible and all of its pinpoint accurate prophecies and how Ezekiel 38 is about to come to pass any day now in the near future.

[@CandiceVidito]

@@OneHunnitNoCapStannitOnBidnisz No I am not going to read the Bible

[@dumymariposa6795]

Let's be honest, some of these were educated guesses, some were coincidences and others inspired the future.Maybe there are a few that trully stand out as predictions.

[@koriw1701]

@@OneHunnitNoCapStannitOnBidnisz Umm, yeah, sorry. Any "pinpoint accuracy" of Ezekiel (or any part of the Bible) is only possible after a ridiculous amount of theological interpretation, _plus_ a bunch of cherry-picking. I'm confused where this 'pinpoint accuracy' could be. For instance, Ezekiel doesn't use the words 'Russia,' 'Palestinian, Biden, Trump or Netanyahu. (And sorry, but there weren't even any 'educated guesses' like someone else suggested), so, you tell _us_ where this 'pinpoint accuracy' is, and we'll be the judge of that. But just to clear up the point for other readers, you are probably talking about this passage in 38, am I right? 11 You will say, “I will invade a land of unwalled villages; I will attack a peaceful and unsuspecting people-all of them living without walls and without gates and bars... And, 14...This is what the Sovereign Lord says: In that day, when my people Israel are living in safety, will you not take notice of it? 15 You will come from your place in the far north, you and many nations with you, all of them riding on horses, a great horde, a mighty army. 16 You will advance against my people Israel like a cloud that covers the land." Umm, you have never been to Israel, have you? Israel is _surrounded by enormous walls_ all across the West Bank and any other place where the Palestinians could possibly gain entry. So, there's no 'gog' or 'magog' that will attack it where there are no walls. No one will be attacking on horseback. Ezekiel doesn't say anything about Israel having a radical-right wing president who has demanded autocratic control over the media and has vowed that he will remove every last Palestinian, down to the last child. And, if you're referring to the most recent attack on Israel that initiated Netanyahu's current war of extermination in the West Bank, it was initiated by Netanyahu's hard-line suppression of the Palestinians and his personal cycle of continuous upheaval, resettlement and removal from 'Israeli land,' onto which he continuously moves those poor people into the desert; veritable scraps of land, right before he decides he needs it now, then pushes them out in order to move more Israeli people into it (once he's added the infrastructure that he never gave the Palestinians when he moved _them_ into it) moves them, and then decides he wants _that_ piece of land for all the people flocking to Israel. Don't get me wrong, I'm not hating on the country, only its prime minister. I'm Jewish, so I have no ulterior motives, unlike other Christians, who seem to side with Israel no matter how despicably they treat starving women and children. Don't pawn your book of magic on reasonable adults. Hang on to it. It might keep you warm during the end times.

Thank you for the update, WatchMojo..!! 5:45 Da Vinci's "Flower of life" represents a multi-cellular embryo in its early stage. I wonder how he knew about it without a microscope. 🥶

[@BlackHatCinephile]

Control System coverup. We have been advanced many times. Da Vinci lived during one of our advanced periods. The Templars came to enforce their millennial Reset, as they do every thousand years or so. The Reset entails a confiscation of all tech and all records of it. The Templars are who Da Vinci was hiding his diagrams from. Old tech is not destroyed during the Resets, it's collected and stored, for use only by the Controllers. It's one of the ways they stay in power. They also get different versions of similar tech, every time. So, they don't need to be intimidated by any new invention, because they have dozens of similar things that were developed several different ways, in the past.

[@glacousxx]

[@christigmc]

Most of the invention predictions, I wouldn’t call them predictions, more like inspirations. Most of these predictors might have had the imagination but not the knowledge to create it. So they share their ideas but someone with the knowledge to create it decided to actually do it. In Star Trek 4 the doctor gives a woman a pill and she grows a new kidney. How much would you bet a lot of scientists after watching that scene started getting ideas how to create that pill.

[@glacousxx]

Yes it's more like intelligently guessing what creations would we be able to make , it makes sense and also teaches us what the imagination of a human can do .

[@matthewblouin4267]

Jules Vern also wrote about submarines weigh before they were invented

[@asmodiusjones9563]

11:21 The story “The World Set Free” does predict atomic weapons, but it is more amazing in that it very closely predicted World War I and its causes, that is, the aristocratic families which governed Europe instigating war for very little reason. The war concludes with the development and use of the bomb (which he describes more like fission volcanos). The title is a reference to being free from aristocracy.

[@werthmelissa]

The Titanic one had me spinning because there was also a marine vehicle which was ironically also called Titan which was a submersible sunk as well last year. So spooky.

Instant communications (cell technology - You should definitely have included this by Arthur C Clarke, which he wrote in _1964._ "We could be in instant contact with each other, wherever we may be, where we can contact our friends anywhere on earth, even if we don’t know their actual physical location. It will be possible in that age, perhaps only 50 years from now, for a man to conduct his business from Tahiti or Bali just as well as he could from London.… Almost any executive skill, any administrative skill, even any physical skill, could be made independent of distance. I am perfectly serious when I suggest that one day we may have brain surgeons in Edinburgh operating on patients in New Zealand." He also added satellite communications, and the necessity of geosynchronous/geostationary orbits to carry the signals. Fax machines (facsimile machines), free long-distance phone calls ("one day it'll cost the same amount to call Japan as it will to call around the corner.") Incidentally, he has also suggested that we will have 'space elevators.' (It's a unique concept we may see in the next 100 years)

[@kleine.5438]

If there are other predictions that came true hope for an eventual part 2 PLEASE 🤞?

[@Uncle_Smidge]

Georges Remi, (pen name Hergé) also wrote a pair of Tintin comics about landing on the moon a while before we did. His major notable difference from the truth was that he envisioned craggier, stalagmite/stalactite-heavy textured caves on the surface.

Id add dtoqueville who predicted the civil war and the long term struggle of america of those for freedom vs those for equality

[@BlackHatCinephile]

The Civil War was more about the unequal taxation of southern agriculture to fund northern industrialization, and a hostile Cavalry occupation to genocide the peaceful Cherokee. than it was about slavery. NOBODY likes slavery except slavers. And there was NO geographic line separating slave states. They were ALL slave states, till it was abolished. If Lincoln was so in favor of freeing slaves, he could have done it his first day of office, instead of the last day of the war. It was a whitewash of his crimes, to rewrite his own history to make himself the hero instead of the villain. Boothe was a northerner. Not even a sympathizer. He assassinated the ONLY American president to ever declare war on America.
