Ever wondered who brought the Hindu-Arabic numerals to europe to replace the less accurate roman numerals. Yes the answer is al-khwarizmi.
The Father of Modern Optics The man who invented the first camera and my Favorite in the era. also known as the first true scientist.
during the period the old greek philosophy led the scientific world with the first true scientific experiment. He was the one who argue the fact on how we see things. He explained that the sun rays strikes any object reflected through it straight into our eyes so we able to see things.
Alhazen spend most of his life in cairo, egypt where he was given an administrative position but unable to fulfill his duties he was punished. To save himself from execution he show that he is sick and given a 10 years house arrest where he started observing the positions of stars and their locations.
during his life time he has written over 45 books & much more things which are another days topic.
