The supreme example is Leonardo da Vinci, who wondered about almost everything he saw. He filled his notebooks with drawings of possible inventions and anatomical observations. (See Chapter 10 for examples.) Gelb, who calls “Curiositá” one of the main principles to follow in order to think like Leonardo da Vinci,⁴⁵ quotes this example from Leonardo’s notebooks:

I roamed the countryside searching for things I did not understand. Why shells existed on the tops of mountains along with the imprints of coral and plants and sea weed usually found in the sea. Why the thunder lasts a longer time than that which causes it, and why immediately on its creation the lightning becomes visible to the eye while thunder requires time to travel. How the various circles of water form around the spot which has been struck by a stone, and why a bird sustains itself in the air. These questions and other strange phenomena engage my thought throughout my life.⁴⁶
