Abstract

Was Da Vinci a great artist, or a great scientist and engineer? Why did he combine two domains, art and science, that today feel separate and completely unrelated? Was it due to a lack of scientific advancement that allowed him the space to explore science alongside the arts, or was it an internal drive that made him believe the two were inseparable? This article envisions the future of science by considering elements such as the prevalence of technology, the rise of artificial intelligence, and the evolving role of humans in the years to come. It is argued that the future of science depends on its integration with the arts, a synergy that fosters innovation and creativity while enabling individuals to achieve a more holistic intellectual development.
