Topic: Issac Newton never discovered the Theory of Gravity.

It was actually an Arabic mathematician, astronomer, and physicist named Ibn al-Haytham. We are taught in schools this was contributed to Newton, but Newton was operating on past scientists' work including al-Haytham's.I wish our schools could teach history accurately instead of being feed bullshit. There is a lot about the Islamic Golden Age that I still don't know about. I am aware that it was responsible for the preservation of the works of Aristotle though.

Nonsense. Instead of propagating bullshit claims like this why not find out what remarkable contributions this guy really did make in the fields of mathematics, astronomy, physics and in particular optics.

The Theory of Gravity wasn't discovered, it was created. The person who created it was Isaac Newton.
> Newton was operating on past scientists' work including al-Haytham's.
That's how science works. Jet planes weren't invented by the Wright brothers.

This. Newton developed the first theory of gravity. Gravity was discovered; scientific theories are developed/created. OP is Catherine so we have to remember he's operating with a child's command of English.

Be sure to use crayons so he pays better attention.

I think you're thinking of the guy who accurately calculated the circumference of the earth

No mention of Gravity with minor exception of Bodies in motion. Celestial and Opics was this Arabs bailiwick.
