DaVinci, Kirkby added, dreamed 500 years ,ago of the automobile and airplane, but it was not until comparatively recent years that they were Invented. He pointed out that ln the last 50 years more progress has been made than in the previous' 5,000 years because of scientific methods peoples learned to use to make their dreams come true.
