Science and Islam - Ibn al-Haytham & Optics | Science Documentary | Reel Truth. Science

Love and respect for this, enjoy your documentary. With love from Nigeria 🇳🇬

As a muslim when i found that muslim scientists discussed the parallel universes theory i really was amazed❤

U r doing good job for Muslim history contribution in science world allah bless u

Thank you for these uploads! Always loved the cultural and artistic contributions of Islam, now I'm learning about another fascinating side of it. Greetings from Mexico!

We would still be living in the Middle Ages if it wasn't for the Islamic scientific revolution. Copernicus himself got educated from Islamic Arabic books. Not to mention, they would be no calculus without Algebra. This is about the progression of knowledge and science and how it was transferred from civilization to civilization. Without the humans that lived in the Middle East 7000 years ago and were responsible for the invention of cultivation, we would most likely be extinct today or no better than apes. I have no idea how a thousand years were erased from recent history.

I have tears in my eyes.....just amazing......thanks

Ignorant most of my life, now grateful for your timely contributions. Thank you , sharan lak.

I hope one day Islamic societies can return to use of the scientific method. I believe it will be so as this methodology is encouraged by Allah.

I have watched the first 17 minutes so far. Excellent information, and well produced. Good job, Jim!

Great program - watched the whole series and learnt a lot. Just one nit pick: the formula given around 21:17 in the video relies on the 3 points (top of mountain, 1st measurement point, 2nd measurement point) being in a straight line. However, when Jim does his measurement, he appears to walk ACROSS the beach between the two measurement points, which would mean that these 3 points in not in a straight line. Tried for a while to make it work the way Jim was doing it before realising that it only works if the 3 points are collinear. The diagram at 21:08 is, of course, correct. However, it is not clear whether this diagram is a 3D representation (which is what I first thought with the 3 points NOT collinear) or a 2D diagram (with the 3 points collinear).

Simply fabulous. Culture and science blended beautifully.

Allah has bestowed upon us science so we can ultimately willingly submit ourselves to the will of Allah

A great series. The history of Islam is very important in these modern times, as is the history of China. I see a new age going into the 21st - 22nd century. Thank you for a great enlightening educative program, Jim Al-Khalili.

thanks for opening the eyes of the haters and the ignorant ppl who always hate on minorities

Muslims were the first to systematically investigate and inquire scientific truth, question everything, called the age of Muttazilla, when Indian mathematics were improvised to discover calculus, when Musa brothers improvised mechanics and even discovered mechanical calculators etc. But the trend was cut short by the fundamental philosophy of Ibn Hambal, when Muslims became introverts and lost their impetus.

Awesome!

Sir I am a huge fan of you. I am in grade 9. Sir my aim is to do experiments on the works of Muslim Scientists.

Love watching Your documents 😊❤

Great Job Prof. Jim

does anyone did a summary about this video?
