Illustrious Muslim scientists of the golden age, particularly Ibn Al-Haytham (965-1040) and Al-Biruni (973-1048), insisted on natural explanations for the phenomena they were attempting to explain.
Al-Biruni (about 1,000 years ago) measured📏📐 the circumference of the Earth🌍 with an accuracy of 99.7% compared to today’s accepted value.
