    « "Nombrosos mètodes d'experiments afinats es van desenvolupar per determinar el pes específic, en els quals estaven basats en particular, sobre la teoria de les balances i el pesatge. Els treballs d'al-Biruni i al-Khazini són el començament de l'aplicació de mètodes experimentals en la ciència medieval »

    (cf. Abel B. Franco (October 2003). "Avempace, Projectile Motion, and Impetus Theory", Journal of the History of Ideas 64 (4), p. 521-546 [528]: Hibat Allah Abu'l-Barakat al-Bagdadi (c.1080- after 1164/65) extrapolated the theory for the case of falling bodies in an original way in his Kitab al-Mu'tabar (The Book of that Which is Established through Personal Reflection). [...] This idea is, according to Pines, "the oldest negation of Aristotle's fundamental dynamic law [namely, that a constant force produces a uniform motion]," and is thus an "anticipation in a vague fashion of the fundamental law of classical mechanics [namely, that a force applied continuously produces acceleration].")
