  1. I am quite disappointed that there is no mention of other cultures and their impact on Science. Particularly, Egyptian Culture from hence these Greek Philosophers mentioned here were educated.

  2. Esotericism. Before the flood the one world civilization was brought forth by the pyramid structure. One ruler on top and so forth down the pyramid. That’s why pyramids are found through the ancient world. The old world thinkers knew mind before matter. Now people only believe matter before mind…

  3. There is a lot of audience from Pakistan and india which have common language. Student like me from these countries always have a English problem. Kindly translate this crash course into either Urdu or Hindhi. Love from Pakistan 🇵🇰…

  4. Thank you for everything you post!! I am a high school chemistry and physics teacher, and I'm very excited to learn and incorporate more diverse scientific history into my courses!!

  5. Is our perception of what is science fact determined by the technology we use to observe the universe? Will our perception of science change as technology becomes more advanced? In a hundred years will what we perceive to be science fact be seen as a result of our narrow view of our universe?

  6. Hi, Thank you for coming up with this thought-provoking course. However, I would want to ask that throughout the course you've used the word "crating knowledge". I'd want to ask that is it "discovering knowledge" or is it "creating knowledge"? Thank you.

  7. Alhazen Ḥasan Ibn al-Haytham
    Known for Book of Optics, Doubts Concerning Ptolemy, Alhazen's problem, Analysis, Catoptrics, Horopter, Moon illusion, experimental science, scientific methodology, visual perception, empirical theory of perception, Animal psychology

  8. Yes… we know what Truth with a capital T is and not comprehending the dynamics of Truth and its various levels can leave a worldview wanting for that knowledge that comes only when one can accept the Truth for what it actually is as opposed to the general opinion. Once set free by the Truth the pieces do fall into their perspective places.
