<div class="text-justify"> Although it has long been an important discipline in many of the world's leading universities, on our campuses the history of science is still on the periphery.

This discipline has not been included in any college curriculum. The history of science has not been considered important-why teach and learn about this discipline?

Amidst the multitude of major themes and technical themes presented in the curriculum, it may be assumed that teaching science history only adds to the burden...

What is so important to a biologist, for example, to learn how Alfred Russell Wallace discovered the theory of natural selection along with Charles Darwin?

Also, Wallace built his theory based on his extensive research in the archipelago, while Darwin was in the Galapagos Islands, South America.

As campus learners, we are not introduced to the story of the competition between Darwin and Wallace amid Wallace's admiration for the more senior naturalist.

In our college campus spaces, theories are taught alternately-whether physics, biology, chemistry, mathematics, or computing and electricity.

Students never know, and perhaps many do not want to know, how Albert Einstein's struggle until finally, he found the theory of special relativity.

How James Maxwell came to the idea of uniting electric and magnetic waves. The 'behind the scenes' of the theories taught in the lecture halls are often ignored since they are considered to be less or less important.

The history of science invites us to link a theory with the mind-context that underlies the birth of a theory, the struggle of competing ideas, to the effects of changes that have been made to society.

Einstein was completely upset and disappointed when his very simple formula E = mc2 had metamorphosed into an atomic bomb and crushed the city and its inhabitants. As shown in Ron Howard's genius film, Einstein tried hard to erase his impression as a scientist who initiated the creation of an atomic bomb.


Science is not a sterile area of society given its effects and effects. Through the history of science, we can find events related to science that are deliberately hidden because of its influence on the politics, power, and development of society.

The contribution of al-Hasan ibn al-Haytham to science, for example, only gained relatively firm recognition in the 20th century.

Alhazen, the nickname of Western scholars to the Easterners who lived in the early 11th century, is recognized for his contribution in the field of optics thanks to the book of the importance of Kitab al-Manazir or Book of Optics which was translated by Europeans about three centuries after it was written.

He also made an important contribution in developing a proven scientific method after centuries of Europeans following the Greek opinion.

However, in the next historical trajectory, the name of ibn al-Haytham is rarely mentioned. Roger Bacon's name is more highlighted as a 'inventor' of scientific methods.

Similarly, ibn al-Haytham's ideas about the speed of light, refraction, and human perception of light from a psychological point of view.

The history of science reveals many important stories and issues that are not summarized in mathematical formulas even if the formulas have condensed certain theories into itself.

The history of science reveals the human endeavor to understand the mystery of the universe-even if it finally agrees or disagrees with the view of the Creator. At least, the history of science will color the teaching of science that tends to dry, so potentially more inspiring and colorful in our life.</div>
