Arab scientists established in the ninth century that the world was round and under the Caliphate of Mamun (813 - 833), the first map of the globe was made. These scientific theories, that were available in Latin translations, paved the way for the discovery of America by Columbus, who owed much of his success to Muslim scientists and researchers.
Moreover, European historians acknowledged the fact that Ibn Rushd (Spanish Muslim Philosopher, 1128-1198 AD) was one of the first scientists to predict the existence of a new world beyond the Atlantic Ocean. Columbus himself mentioned in his memoirs that he benefited from the theories of the Arab geographers about the roundness of the Earth, Arab maps and the sciences of astronomy and navigation.

The Arabs have contributed pretty much nothing. Even this list is a disgrace. Look at Israel 1/120 the size of all the Arab nations around it and there list of inventions blows all of them out of the water. Im not talking about Jews cause if I were the list would almost be doubled of Israel. If you really think we wouldn't have coffee and checks today because of an Arab your nuts. Trust me when I say someone would have invented it by now. When there coming out with Gps, drones, satellites, or how about Intel chips like Israel makes than we can talk about making something that someone else couldn't of made. Some of the richest people in the world come from these countries yet you don't see Nobel prizes or anything significant coming from these countries to help the world as a whole. Saudi Arabia makes more money than Israel even with American help which most gets paid back or is given back through ingenuity and inventions. This is why they have been a third world country and Israel rises to be a metropolitan success in less than 65 years. And by the way if an Arab comes to America and gets an American education and comes out with an invention this is not an Arab invention its American. Just like if I come out with an invention it will be American not Russian where my grandparents are from. And hotmail... seriously when I see hotmail I thank yahoo and the hundreds of other email services that came out before hotmail.

Who cares who invented what.
A lot of things were invented on different places at the same time, bookprinting, photography.
I'm just glad that it's here.
Edit; Oh dear, this is an ancient old forgotten thread.

I know 8 years later they still got nothing. And yes it does matter who invented what cause if it didn't the title of the post would be what people have invented not what Arabs have invented. During the last 200 years there have been more science and contribution to the world than ever before and yet I don't see Arabs claiming anything. I mean Japan is tiny, got wiped down to nothing during wwII, huge natural destruction, and still send people in space. Seriously what's up with the arabs, tons of money and resources and it all goes to what??? While the USA spends more money than the ten countries under us combined together, its only 4% gdp while Saudi Arabia is at 22% gdp. Instead of trying to get rid of countries that they'll never win against they should focus on education, period, no excuse what so ever.

Bad vibe? I mean if that's your way of saying I'm right than ok. Mass murder??? Who said that?? And because everything I said is true??? Tell me one thing I said that's not true or doesn't apply? So if I say 6,000,000 Jews were killed in the holocaust that means I want all Jews dead? No its a fact just like the other stuff I pointed out. Just because the facts aren't what u want to hear now I'm a racist murder??? Arabs live in third world countries for a reason, if you don't contribute to society you become a third world country period. And I have Arab friends, trust me there the first to people to agree with me. They blame it on there country, although its a valid excuse it still doesn't change the facts. And by the way I have a degree in computer engineering, I had an Arab teacher that went to university of Jordan that was a genius at engineering. He is also the first to tell me the education and opportunity is almost impossible to get out there. Thats why he's in America and that's why Arabs contribute nothing to society today.

I love it. I say Arab countries are one of the lowest countries in education in the world. They spend almost all there money on the army. I say they should spend less on war and more on education, and you say I'm racist. Apparently you don't think Arab children should be getting an education instead of handed an AK-47.
