Good to know RFK Junior gets to speak freely while not being blackmailed at all for sexually assaulting his babysitter! Since RFK isn’t familiar with Persian, Arab scientists historically during their golden age (8th-13th centuries), here are a handful who made their mark in Baghdad’s house of wisdom while Europe was living in the dark and most couldn’t read: Al-Khwarizmi - Persian polymath • Invented algebra • Created algorithms (used in your phone today) Tusi - Persian mathematician •pioneered trigonometry Ibm Al Haytham •Persian. Born in Basra, 965. •invented calculus 600 years before Newton •Volume of a Paraboloid. •Sum of Fourth Powers •Also worked on optics and scientific method. The work of Alhazen were frequently cited during the Scientific Revolution by Galileo Galilei, René Descartes, Johannes Kepler, and Christiaan Huygens but western textbooks leave him out. Al-Kindi • Pioneer of cryptography • Basis of modern passwords Hunayn ibn Ishaq • Christian scholar • Translated 100+ Greek medical texts Banu Musa Brothers • Built automated machines • Early foundation of robotics Omar Khayam •Persian Mathematician. Reformed the solar calendar. Poet His calendar is more accurate than Gregorian calendar Ibin Sina - persian father of modern medicine. Cannon of medicine used in Europe for over 600 years Al Zarawi - 936 cordoba. invented over 200 med instruments Europe copied in 1200s in Latin Biruni - father of anthropology, comparative religion and pharmacology and more Persian astronomer Abd al-Rahman al-Sufi, writing in his Book of Fixed Stars, described a "nebulous spot" in the constellation of Andromeda Jabir Ibn Hayan - (geber) invented chemistry. Born in 721. Built 1st lab. Built alembic for distillation •Retort for heating substances sublimation. •Cucurbit for extraction of substances •Discovered sulfuric acid, Nitric acid and HCl. Ibn Khaldun- real father of economics and sociology before Adam smith he wrote the same theories on econ only over 400 years earlier. 1377 - wrote Muqadimmah When goods are scarce, prices rise and VV. Supply and demand When taxes low, people work harder, government collects more revenue - Laffer Curve by reagonomics. Ibn Khaldun came up with it first Why do empires rise and fall Ibn Rushd (Averroes): was an Andalusian polymath and jurist who was proficient in a variety of intellectual fields, including philosophy, theology, medicine, astronomy, physics, psychology, mathematics, neurology, Islamic jurisprudence, law, and linguistics. The author of more than 100 books and treatises! Their contributions in a nutshell: Algebra, algorithms, decimal numbers (0–9), cryptography, astronomy, surgery, chemistry, genetics, economics and more: Alarm clock → Al-Jazari (1206 CE) Toothbrush → Muslim medicine (600 CE) Soap → Arab chemists (8th century) Mirror → Muslim craftsmen, Spain (11th century) Coffee → Yemeni Muslims (1400s) Cotton → Arabic "qutn" (800s CE) Europe has ZERO renaissance period without the works of Persian and Arab polymaths they freely borrowed from and don’t credit! And RFK junior’s legacy is defending Israel, being a r@pist, defending big pharma and standing by Trump!
