Quantum Physics in The al-Quran

Quantum Physics

(This section Çelakıl'ın Omar "Building Blocks of the Universe in the Quran" has been prepared through the book. Confirmed the accuracy of findings are presented in this section.)
Koran downloaded age, quantum physics and subatomic particles known. However, the facts indicated to the Quran, as well as in terms of sequences of letters contains indications of past and future sciences. Another example of this at 37 and 39 of the Cave Sura be seen in verses that make up the universe of elementary particles is a miracle that point names and weights. (Allah knows the truth.)
Word "neutron" (the Arabic letters Nun-Te-Re-Nun), all from start to finish in only two verses in the Quran. One of them is 18:39 numbered verses and "neutron mass = 1839 me" is expressed as.
As can be seen, 39 of Surat al-Kahf the weight of the neutron neutron verse clearly indicate the name and number of the verse is. (Allah knows the truth.) Side by side with thousands of other verses do not come from these letters, verse 18:39 word "neutron" emerges.
 
As the "proton" applies to. Proton letters comprising the word (Arabic: Re-Te-Be-Nun) in the Qur'an more than the number of neutrons pass. However, 37 of Surat al-Kahf verse, ie,18:37 numbered verses, protons, from left to right are the letters comprising the word. The proton mass is "1836-1837 me" and "1837 me" is considered. Therefore, this verse number 18:37 mass of the proton, the "1837 me" to indicate that. (Allah knows the truth.)
 
* Arabic letter "P", there is no sound, as equivalent to "Be" the letter used.
"Neutron" and "Proton" words in Turkish, English, Arabic and other languages ​​written and read almost the same way. Comprise atoms Another verse that refers to these particles is as follows:
Atom's weight of the ground and in the sky ... nothing away from the Lord (right) does not. Smaller than that, there is no bigger that a Clear Book (registered) or not.(Surah Yunus: 61)

The Father of Optics is the Man Who Created Camera [part 3]

Like many eminent philosophers and mathematicians, Ibn Al-Haytham was a keen observer. While in a room one day he noticed light coming through a small hole made in the window shutters. It fell onto the wall opposite and it was the half-moon shape of the sun’s image during eclipses. He said: ‘The image of the sun at the time of the eclipse, unless it is total, demonstrates that when its light passes through a narrow, round hole and is cast on a place opposite to the hole it takes on the form of a moon-sickle.’

From his experiments, he explained that light travelled in a straight line and when the rays were reflected off a bright subject they passed through the small hole and did not scatter but crossed and reformed as an upside-down image on a flat white surface parallel to the hole. He then established that the smaller the hole, the clearer the picture.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    *Camera Obscura

His experimental conclusions were that when the sunlight reached and penetrated the hole, it made a conic shape at the meeting point with the pinhole, and later formed another conic shape in reverse to the first one on the opposite wall in the dark room.

‘Light issues in all directions opposite any body that is illuminated with any light [and of course, also opposite any self-luminous body]. Therefore when the eye is opposite a visible object and the object is illuminated with light of any sort, light comes to the surface of the eye from the light of the visible object.’(10th-century Ibn al-Haytham from his ‘Book of Optics)

In later stages, these discoveries led to the invention of the camera obscura, and Ibn Al-Haytham built the first camera, a camera obscura or pinhole camera, in history. He went on to explain that we see objects upright and not upside-down, as the camera does, because of the connection of he optic nerve with the brain, which analyses and defines the image.

During his practical experiments, Ibn Al-Haytham often used the term al-Bayt al-Muthim, which was translated into Latin as camera obscura, or dark, private or closed room or enclosed space. Camera is still used today, as is qamara in Arabic which still means a private or dark room.

Many of Ibn Al-Haytham’s works, especially his huge Book of Optics, were translated into Latin by the medieval scholar Gerard of Cremona. This has a profound impact on the 13th-century big thinkers like Roger Bacon and Witelo, and even on the 15th-century works of Leonardo da Vinci.


Today, the camera has gone from the humble beginnings of Ibn-Al-Haytham’s dark front room, the qamara, to become a sophisticated digital process, while the study of optics has blossomed into a whole science covering lasers, optical sectioning of the human retina and researching red bioluminescence in jelly fish.

The Father of Optics is the Man Who Created Camera [part 2]

The camera is one of the most powerful instruments ever invented. Still photographs and moving pictures have provided man the ability to record and display images of every kind - from the first few cells of a human embryo to galaxies, billions of light years away. But did you know that the principles, on which all cameras are based, were laid down around one thousand years ago by the Muslim scientist and philosopher, Ibn Al-Haytham.

He is the most outstanding physicist of the Middle Ages and wrote over two hundred scientific works. Although he made important contributions to mathematics, astronomy, medicine and chemistry, his most outstanding achievements were in physics and optics. He was the founder of modern physics in the true sense of the word. He anticipated by six centuries the fertile ideas that were to mark the outset of this branch of science.

It was Ibn Al-Haytham who first discovered that light travels in straight lines. In refraction his outstanding contribution was the application of the rectangle of velocities at the surface of refraction, six centuries before Isaac Newton (1642 - 1727).

Al-Bayt Al-Muzlim or camera obscura, the Arabic and Latin words, respectively, for a darkroom, was the prototype of the modern photographic camera. It worked on the principle that rays of light, reflected from any illuminated object will pass through a tiny hole in a dark room and project the image of the object upside-down on a wall inside the room. It was a revolutionary invention in the field of optics. The term camera obscura was first used in Western scientific literature by Joseph Kepler (1571 - 1630).
In the third chapter of the first volume of Kitab Al-Manazir (The Book of Optics), Ibn Al-Haytham examines the moon's capacity to emit light without itself being a polished mirror. This led to the discovery that all coloured bodies emit light, and that light and colour are virtually identical. In his experiments to prove these theories he constructed the Al-Bayt Al-Muzlim which consisted of a darkened room with a small aperture in one wall, through which an inverted image was projected onto the opposite wall. The viewer was inside the room. This type of device was also used by Ibn Al-Haytham and his students for their astronomical studies on sunspots and other solar and lunar phenomena. 500 years later Geronimo Cardano (1501 -1576), who was influenced by Ibn Al-Haytham, suggested replacing the small aperture with a lens. Credit for the introduction of a lens to the camera obscura goes to Giovanni Batista della Porta (1535 - 1615). Kepler improved it with a negative lens behind the positive lens which enlarged the projected image (the principle used in the modern telephoto lens). Robert Boyle (1627 - 1691) was the first to construct a small, portable, box-type camera obscura in 1665. Artists and architects used the device to give a realistic perspective to their work. Two scientific principles had to be combined to make photography possible - one optical, the other chemical. It was 900 years after Ibn Al-Haytham's invention that photographic plates were first used to permanently capture the image produced by the camera obscura. The first permanent photograph was taken by Joseph Nicephore Niepce in France in 1827. In 1888, George Eastman developed a convenient, light sensitive film and introduced the Kodak camera which made possible modern day photography.

In1855, Roger Fenton used glass plate negatives to take pictures of the British soldiers during the Crimean War. He developed the plates in his travelling dark room - a converted wagon.
A version of the camera obscura was used in the First World War for aircraft spotting and performance measurement, and in the Second World War for checking the accuracy of radio navigation devices.
What an irony it is that a thousand years after Ibn Al-Haytham, his own birth place, Basra, was destroyed using Tomahawk missiles which are camera-guided. Satellites mapped the Iraqi terrain using cameras and then transmitted the information to missiles, fired from the USS Wisconsin, guiding them to their targets.

The Father of Optics is the Man Who Created Camera [part 1]

     
           Abu Ali al-Hasan ibn al-Hasan ibn al-Haytham (965 in Basra – c. 1040 in Cairo) was a prominent scientist and polymath from the ‘Golden Age’ of Muslim civilization. He is commonly referred to as Ibn al-Haytham, and sometimes as al-Basri, after his birthplace in the city of Basra. He is also known by his Latinized name of Alhazen or Alhacen.

Ibn al-Haytham made significant contributions to the principles of optics, as well as to physics, astronomy, mathematics, ophthalmology, philosophy, visual perception, and to the scientific method. He was also nicknamed Ptolemaeus Secundus ("Ptolemy the Second") or simply "The Physicist" in medieval Europe. Ibn al-Haytham wrote insightful commentaries on works by Aristotle, Ptolemy, and the Greek mathematician Euclid.

Born circa 965, in Basra, Iraq, he lived mainly in Cairo, Egypt, dying there at age 76. Over-confident about practical application of his mathematical knowledge, he assumed that he could regulate the floods of the Nile.

After being ordered by al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah, the sixth ruler of the Fatimid caliphate, to carry out this operation, he quickly perceived the impossibility of what he was attempting to do, and retired from engineering. Fearing for his life, he feigned madness and was placed under house arrest, during and after which he devoted himself to his scientific work until his death.


A crater on the moon is named in his honor, as is the asteroid 59239 Alhazen.

    The Nobel Prize in Physics 1921
    Albert Einstein

    Albert Einstein - Biographical

    Albert Einstein was born at Ulm, in Württemberg, Germany, on March 14, 1879. Six weeks later the family moved to Munich, where he later on began his schooling at the Luitpold Gymnasium. Later, they moved to Italy and Albert continued his education at Aarau, Switzerland and in 1896 he entered the Swiss Federal Polytechnic School in Zurich to be trained as a teacher in physics and mathematics. In 1901, the year he gained his diploma, he acquired Swiss citizenship and, as he was unable to find a teaching post, he accepted a position as technical assistant in the Swiss Patent Office. In 1905 he obtained his doctor's degree.

    During his stay at the Patent Office, and in his spare time, he produced much of his remarkable work and in 1908 he was appointed Privatdozent in Berne. In 1909 he became Professor Extraordinary at Zurich, in 1911 Professor of Theoretical Physics at Prague, returning to Zurich in the following year to fill a similar post. In 1914 he was appointed Director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Physical Institute and Professor in the University of Berlin. He became a German citizen in 1914 and remained in Berlin until 1933 when he renounced his citizenship for political reasons and emigrated to America to take the position of Professor of Theoretical Physics at Princeton*. He became a United States citizen in 1940 and retired from his post in 1945.

    After World War II, Einstein was a leading figure in the World Government Movement, he was offered the Presidency of the State of Israel, which he declined, and he collaborated with Dr. Chaim Weizmann in establishing the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

    Einstein always appeared to have a clear view of the problems of physics and the determination to solve them. He had a strategy of his own and was able to visualize the main stages on the way to his goal. He regarded his major achievements as mere stepping-stones for the next advance.

    At the start of his scientific work, Einstein realized the inadequacies of Newtonian mechanics and his special theory of relativity stemmed from an attempt to reconcile the laws of mechanics with the laws of the electromagnetic field. He dealt with classical problems of statistical mechanics and problems in which they were merged with quantum theory: this led to an explanation of the Brownian movement of molecules. He investigated the thermal properties of light with a low radiation density and his observations laid the foundation of the photon theory of light.

    In his early days in Berlin, Einstein postulated that the correct interpretation of the special theory of relativity must also furnish a theory of gravitation and in 1916 he published his paper on the general theory of relativity. During this time he also contributed to the problems of the theory of radiation and statistical mechanics.

    In the 1920's, Einstein embarked on the construction of unified field theories, although he continued to work on the probabilistic interpretation of quantum theory, and he persevered with this work in America. He contributed to statistical mechanics by his development of the quantum theory of a monatomic gas and he has also accomplished valuable work in connection with atomic transition probabilities and relativistic cosmology.

    After his retirement he continued to work towards the unification of the basic concepts of physics, taking the opposite approach, geometrisation, to the majority of physicists.

    Einstein's researches are, of course, well chronicled and his more important works include Special Theory of Relativity (1905), Relativity (English translations, 1920 and 1950), General Theory of Relativity (1916), Investigations on Theory of Brownian Movement (1926), and The Evolution of Physics (1938). Among his non-scientific works, About Zionism (1930), Why War? (1933), My Philosophy(1934), and Out of My Later Years (1950) are perhaps the most important.

    Albert Einstein received honorary doctorate degrees in science, medicine and philosophy from many European and American universities. During the 1920's he lectured in Europe, America and the Far East, and he was awarded Fellowships or Memberships of all the leading scientific academies throughout the world. He gained numerous awards in recognition of his work, including the Copley Medal of the Royal Society of London in 1925, and the Franklin Medal of the Franklin Institute in 1935.

    Einstein's gifts inevitably resulted in his dwelling much in intellectual solitude and, for relaxation, music played an important part in his life. He married Mileva Maric in 1903 and they had a daughter and two sons; their marriage was dissolved in 1919 and in the same year he married his cousin, Elsa Löwenthal, who died in 1936. He died on April 18, 1955 at Princeton, New Jersey.
