“…But for Ibn al‐Haytham light was the object of sight: it was precisely that what is seen . Thus Ibn al‐Haytham was the first to consider light as an entity by itself, traveling from visible objects to the eye, according to mathematical laws originally proposed by Euclid …”

During the Medieval era, various Islamic scholars made important discoveries in color science. Breaking with the theories of Aristotle, al‐Kindi proposed that it is not the medium that produces color, but the object, by blocking light. Similarly, Ibn Rushd and Ibn al‐Haytham promoted the role of light for color vision from being a mere catalyst to the very object of sight. And instead of the classical one‐dimensional color order, gradually a two‐dimensional color order emerged in the writings of Ibn Sina and al‐Tusi. Further, Nishaburi described the first partial hue scale. Other breaks with classical dogma are found in descriptions of the rainbow, and in publications of color mixtures. In other aspects, Islamic scholars stayed more firmly in the Aristotelian framework. They still confused lightness and hue differences, and they did not fully break with the idea that all colors can be produced by mixing black and white. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Gravitation is interpreted to be an “ontomathematical” force or interaction rather than an only physical one. That approach restores Newton’s original design of universal gravitation in the framework of “The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy”, which allows for Einstein’s special and general relativity to be also reinterpreted ontomathematically. The entanglement theory of quantum gravitation is inherently involved also ontomathematically by virtue of the consideration of the qubit Hilbert space after entanglement as the Fourier counterpart of pseudo-Riemannian space. Gravitation can be also interpreted as purely mathematical or logical “force” or “interaction” as a corollary from its ontomathematical (rather than physical) realization. The ontomathematical approach to gravitation is implicit in general relativity equating it to operators in pseudo-Riemannian space obeying the Einstein field equation and also well-known by the “geometrization of physics”. Quantum mechanics shares the same by the separable complex Hilbert space and defining “physical quantity” by the Hermitian operators.
