Abdus Salam, a Pakistani theoretical physicist, was the first Muslim to win the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1979 for his contribution to electroweak unification.
Ibn al-Haytham, also known as Alhazen, was the Muslim scientist who discovered that light travels in a straight line. His work on optics and the nature of light significantly influenced the development of the scientific method in early Islamic science.
Ibn Sahl, a Muslim physicist and mathematician, is credited with discovering the law of refraction in the 10th century. He described how light bends as it passes from one medium to another.
Islam is the world's fastest-growing religion, with its followers projected to increase significantly in the coming decades. This growth is attributed to various factors, including high birth rates among Muslim populations and conversions to Islam in some regions.
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.
