Welcome to the space age, ladies and gentlemen

This is really quite a big deal. A tremendous amount of modern research ends up being sold to journals which require unreasonable payments to access it and only pay the original authors a pittance. It’s nice to see an agency like NASA deliberately widebanding its findings.

[vabla]

Not sure if people fully realize just how big of a deal this is. THIS is how science is advanced. Not through biased corporate research, business secrets, marketing, paywalls and patent wars. But through open, uncensored and unrestricted public access to knowledge.

I want you all to know that an Arab Muslim from Tunis proposed the Theory of Evolution near 600 years before Charles Darwin even took his first breath. Don’t let them erase you.

[evilscum]

his name is Ibn Khaldun

Also, it was not the apple falling from a tree that made Issac Newton “discover” gravity. He was reading the books of Ibn Al Haytham, an Arab Muslim from Iraq, who pioneered the scientific method, discovered gravity and wrote about the laws governing the movement of bodies (now known as Newtons three laws of motion) some 600 years before Newton existed. Without him, modern science as we know it wouldn’t exist. Read on him. His achievements are far greater than what I’ve just mentioned here.

#no offense but arabs literally invented chemistry and algebra and we came up with the concept of the camera #the cataract operation that’s still practiced today was invented by an Arab #we created alchemy and the wright brothers used abbas ibn firnas’ findings and writings to build on to create a plane #I could go on and on and on #pls don’t erase our scientific history

I reblog this post every time I see it

We fucking replaced a Muslim scientist with an apple?

In the middle ages, THE place to go for an education was the middle East, or, failing that, Spain. The Muslim world didn’t have the same limits placed on scientific inquiry that the Christian world did, and since they were willing to look at more than just Aristotole and actually compare texts to the observable world, they had some incredible scientific and mathematical advancements. And street lights and toilets. I mean theories and algebra are great and all, but street lights and toilets. In the 12th century. Also medical advancements, and fewer rules against women studying. Hell, women *should* be the ones studying the female body, would you rather a woman see your female relatives, or some old man? Would you rather have someone who lives in the same kind of body, or one who has no first hand idea what the parts can do?

Communication is so wild though like you can spend hours thinking someone is mad at you and then when you ask what’s up they’re like “yeah my mom really pissed me off earlier” and it turns out you were just assuming it was about you. And now you don’t have to carry that stress anymore

Or you could finally work up the nerve to be like “hey I’m not a huge fan of this thing we do together” and the other person is just like thank god I also don’t like that thing. And then neither of you have to do it anymore

OR even crazier, you can be like “I’m having this problem and idk what to do about it” and they’re like “what about this?” and they just solve the entire thing and you realize again how smart and clever your friends are

Mindblowing every time

waking up everyday is just like. good morning sun. good morning sky. good morning evergrowing festering pit of primordial rage inside of me. good morning birds

I was happy. Wherever I was… I was happy. At peace. I knew that everyone I cared about was all right. I knew it. Time… didn’t mean anything. Nothing had form. But I was still me, you know? And I was warm. And I was loved. And I was finished. Complete.

You know that trope where two people in modern/ordinary world go to a museum and get mesmerized by a painting of some ancient heroes couple that look exactly like them and then meet each others eyes?

I yell every time

sad yeehaw for the way steve is consistently reduced to his last 10 minutes of screen time and criticized constantly based solely on that last chunk rather than celebrated for the entire rest of the time he was featured

[turtle-steverogers]

gonna add onto this with like. i’ve also gotten to the point where i squint at endgame and recognize that there are parts that are genuinely steve.

like this?

this scene? steve knowing he’ll lose, but standing up and fighting anyway? willing to go down swinging? a lone man with a broken shield ready to sacrifice himself yet again if it means that they didn’t just roll over. beautiful. stunning. absolutely in character. tbh i think we should talk about this more than his last ten minutes cuz it’s truly defining
