Disproving the Fallacy: Ibn al-Haytham and the Scientific Approach

Disproving the Fallacy: Ibn al-Haytham and the Scientific Approach

Ihtesham Ali, with his 29.5k followers on Twitter, seems to be a recurring offender. After completely messing up a description of al-Khwarizmi’s *al-Kitāb al-Mukhtaṣar fī Ḥisāb al-Jabr wal-Muqābalah*, he then tackled Ibn al-Haytham’s *Kitāb al-Manāẓir* (Book of Optics) in 640 enthusiastic words. While this attempt is not as disastrous as his post on al-Khwarizmi, it […]

Increasing Sea Levels May Convert Mangrove Forests from Carbon Sinks to Carbon Sources

Increasing Sea Levels May Convert Mangrove Forests from Carbon Sinks to Carbon Sources

Mangrove ecosystems are complex and robust, distinctly suited to the rhythm of tidal waters. The tides deliver sediment through mangrove roots twice daily, slowly elevating the substrate and enabling these forests to thrive on carbon-rich, saturated soil. This extraordinary buildup designates mangroves as essential carbon sinks, surpassing standard woodlands in their ability to retain carbon. […]

Maintaining Quantum Chip Integrity: Methods for Non-Destructive Reading

Encased within a sliver of silicon resides a solitary atom of antimony, and at its core, a nucleus rotates in one of eight potential states. These eight states are performing a function. They are safeguarding quantum information, the delicate building block of a future computer, in a manner physicists affectionately refer to as a Schrödinger […]
