700 years before Newton, El-Biruni claimed the first ideas on the theory of gravity, which Newton later mathematically proved. Before to Galileo, who confirmed through his observations with telescopes that planets orbit around the sun, El-Biruni defended the idea of the 'rotation of the Earth' 600 years ago. He answered the question “Why trees and stones do not fly away if the Earth is rotating?” by stating that there was a gravity at the centre and everything falls towards the centre of the Earth. He predicted the existence of land beyond the seas (which is present-day America) and the fact that the North, the South, the East, and the West met on different points.
