SciShow: Why Was the Islamic Golden Age of Science… Golden?

Teacher or professor: SciShow
Subject: Science
Content of the Lesson: Around 750-1250 CE, the Islamic empire made incredible scientific advancements that still influence many fields of research today. What we know about some of the great minds of that time, as well as what we’ve learned from modern studies, suggest that the diversity of the scholars and their knowledge during that period might have played a big role in making that golden age what it was.
