- This is amazingly beautiful. If it were drawn as isometric projection instead of perspective projection, it would be more in the style of Leonardo da Vinci.
- Interestingly, Leonardo may have experimented with binocular vs. monocular perspective for at least one alternative version of his _Mona Lisa_:

which makes one wonder if there are instances of his having used other perspectives in his drawings (cabinet for drawings for furniture for his home or workshop for a cabinetmaker, or cavalier for a map/diagram for military planning), and wish that the entirety of his oeuvre were available in a digital format like to the Corbis CD-ROM Leonardo's rendering of the Codex Leceister:

- These da Vinci style drawings were likely created using the SketchUp models from sometime ago, which you can download from the page below to play with:

- Maybe they're original, found buried in some obscure monastery in the mountains of Umbria.
Perhaps Leonardo invented the LHC!
- Some of the drawings feature what appears to be flying spiders and other similar shapes. Is this supposed to represent particle collisions?
- I can't see who drew them?
- Credited as the photographer on the record
