1000 years of knowledge
Sultans of science are in our backyard waiting to be welcomed. Ontario Science Center is having an international exhibition and Canadians are the first ones to see it. The exhibition celebrates the scientific and technological breakthroughs made by scholars during the Golden Age of the Islamic World (eighth to 18th centuries) and their lasting influence on modern science and technology.
This is a chance for the people of all races, religions and backgrounds to get acquainted with the people who brought about change. If we ever want to break through the problems that are facing us today; it will do us an abundant good if we looked to our ancestors and those who have done this successfully. This will greatly cultivate enthusiasm and give us a fresh way of thinking to go about our problems.
So go ahead and make your way to the Ontario Science Center and rediscover the ancient sciences and modern inventions, the Sultans await. Your discount š
