jan 1, 1000 - Muslim Scientists (1000s) Muslim physicists, mathematicians, & astronomers began advancing parts of physics. Al-Biruni argued that all heavenly bodies have mass & gravity like Earth, criticizing Aristotle and previous Muslim Scholars. Ibn Bajjah proposed a very early version of the third law of motion (every action has an equal & opposite reaction). However, Bajjah, like Galileo, would attempt to explain planetary orbits without gravity. These ideas wouldn't be widely accepted until later.
