Which of the scientists found that the rate at which an object falls is not related to its mass?

In the early 500s CE, John Philoponus refuted Aristotle with these words in his Physica (683,17 ): "if one lets fall simultaneously from the same height two bodies differing greatly in weight, one will find that the ratio of their times of motion does not correspond to the ratio of their weights, but that the difference in time is a very small one"


History of physics-4th century-6th century?

The most significant contributions to physics in the 4th-6th centuries CE were coming out of the Muslim world. Ibn al-Haytham, working during this time, is considered one of the fathers of modern optics. He suggested that light traveled in rays to the eye from various points of an object, an idea that differed from the way Ptolemy and his contemporaries saw the concept of light. Omar Khayyam created a very accurate solar calendar, considered to be more accurate than the Gregorian calendar used today. Other scholars made significant discoveries in trigonometry, which they used to measure distances from Mecca, which became helpful in aiding all Muslims in praying toward Mecca during daily prayer.
