RE: World’s First True Scientist: Ibn al-Haytham

in #sciencelast year

How come this founder of scientific method is not popular as compared to other scientists. This is not supposed to be so. Majority of us are just familiar with only the likes of Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein and many more.

Response from Neenah:

That's a REALLY great question! Part of the goal of this series of articles is to encourage more people to raise that question about all of these hidden amazing founders of modern Western civilization. Credit should be given where credit is due and there is SO MUCH credit due the pioneers of The Golden Age of Islam that has been withheld for centuries now. You might enjoy Europe's Dark Ages Were Islam's Golden Ages! at https://www.activistpost.com/2023/07/europes-dark-ages-were-islams-golden-ages.html which provides some answers to that question. However, an article later this month will go into greater detail about who caused information about these pioneers to be buried -- how, why, and when.
