Dante Alighieri poet wrote Divine Comedy
Dante Aligheiri, poet (May/June c. 1265 - September 14th, 1321). A class of robots designed to explore within volcanoes and outer space have been named after the poet that envisioned a descent to hell in his Divine Comedy (1308-1321). In a communication by Ricci to the periodical Nature 2005 it was also suggested that in The Divine Comedy, Dante intuitively grasped Galileos invariance principle three centuries before Galileo.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable fusion of art, literature, and scientific exploration. In the image, we are presented with an illustration of Dante Alighieri, the renowned poet who penned the timeless masterpiece known as Divine Comedy. Born in May or June around 1265 and departing this world on September 14th, 1321, Dante's literary genius continues to inspire generations. What makes this particular depiction even more intriguing is its connection to cutting-edge technology. A class of robots specifically designed for venturing into both volcanoes and outer space has been named after Dante himself. These robotic explorers pay homage to the poet who envisioned a harrowing descent through hell in his Divine Comedy. Moreover, it was revealed by Ricci in a communication to Nature magazine back in 2005 that Dante may have intuitively grasped Galileo's groundbreaking principle of invariance centuries before Galileo himself discovered it. This principle holds immense significance within modern science and is considered one of its fundamental pillars. The artwork beautifully captures the essence of human curiosity and our relentless pursuit to unravel the mysteries that lie beyond our reach - be it heaven or purgatory here on Earth or distant realms among the stars. It serves as a testament to how art can intertwine with intuitive physics and ignite scientific progress. Created by Paul D. Stewart from Science Photo Library, this thought-provoking piece transcends boundaries between disciplines while celebrating humanity's insatiable thirst for knowledge.
