Theories and research, science and Untold Arab roots of European Sciences

The Arab Science in medieval capital of the emergence of modern science in Europe. This What Yan Hoxndik saying from the University of Utrecht in the Netherlands. But later been carefully remove features of Arab influence

Refers Hoxndik to critics of contemporary Islam believe that Islam "backward culture" and stand in the way of rational thinking, which is the same criticism that was directed to Christianity in Europe during the Middle Ages. This prompted the English researcher Adlard Van Barth in the twelfth century to travel to the Arab world, to his conviction that the best science there. "It was considered that the Arab Science based on rational arguments, while people in Europe chanting parrots what the experts are saying."

During the Middle Ages was science in the Muslim world on a high level of excellence, says Hoxndik. All science was based in Europe on the bases Arab. "By the Arabs introduced Europe for the first time on astronomy, mathematics and medicine. Well reached Greek science from ancient times to Europe through the Arab world.

Hoxndik extensive knowledge of these things, it is in addition to being a mathematician and Arabist is an expert in the history of the exact sciences in the Arab world.

An example of the so-called Hoxndik Arab physicist Ibn al-Haytham. Reached in the eleventh century to prove the fact that the light comes from objects, is reflected in the eye and up to and so we can see. "And thus corrected a wrong concept, as scholars in ancient times believed the contrary." Ibn al-Haytham translated books into Latin and became the basis for the science of optics in Europe.

 Then came the Renaissance in Europe, where the re-discovery of Greek science of antiquity. The Renaissance says Hoxndik not have been possible winning without the knowledge and science reached by the Europeans by Arabs. But Europe would prefer not to see it. "Became a classic of the centuries old is perfect, and after the Renaissance there have been sustained attempts to erase the Arab impact." But this did not succeed completely, says Hoxndik. "We still use in a number of science words of Arabic origin, such as algebra., As well as the names of many of the stars are Arab source."

Due to a shortage of experts still influence the Arab partly on modern science, says Hoxndik. "In libraries all over the world there are tens of thousands of manuscripts that have not been studied yet. An important discoveries await us."

Tries students Hoxndik encouraged Arabs to attention in the field of specialization. During the past years participated in the establishment of the Institute for the History of Science in Saudi Arabia. "Nanoscience well-developed there because of the oil industry. Mostly students believe that they are studying science come from the West. But when I showed them a manuscript and know that their ancestors arrived to a masterful level in mathematics, acquire a surprising
