Why is it that hardly any people have heard of this man?
Or this Man
Averroes was the first to define and measure force as "the rate at which work is done in changing the kinetic condition of a material body"[18] and the first to correctly argue "that the effect and measure of force is change in the kinetic condition of a materially resistant mass."[19] It seems he was also the first to introduce the notion that bodies have a (non-gravitational) inherent resistance to motion into physics, subsequently first dubbed 'inertia' by Kepler
Please know that Kepler dubbed it 900 years after Averroes' discovery.
Al-Jazri anyone?
His invention of the crankshaft ALONE led to the discovery of the combustion engine, automatic controls, and the steam engine..WHERE ARE THESE PEOPLE IN OUR CHILDRENS' TEXTBOOKS?
