Before Newton: The Lost Legacy of Medieval Physics

Overview
We often hear the Middle Ages dismissed as a “dark age” for science—but that’s far from the truth.

In reality, thinkers like John Philoponus, Ibn Sina, and Jean Buridan sparked one of history’s most important shifts in how we understand motion.

They moved beyond Aristotle’s air-push explanation and proposed the idea of impetus—a precursor to modern momentum and inertia.

Their groundbreaking insights set the stage for Galileo and Newton, centuries before classical physics was born.
