Ibnu Al Shatir Mungkin banyak yang belum ngeh, kalau dasar-dasar Heliosentris itu bisa jadi muncul pas jaman kejayaan astronomi di jazirah Arab. Dari SD kita sudah dicekokin bahwa heliosentris itu dirumuskan oleh Copernicus, bla bla bla .. Okay, kita tidak sedang belajar sejarah, itu bidang-nya pakar sejarah (OOT: pak Roy Suryo bisa membantu saya gak ya?). Tapi belajar sedikit tentang sejarah itu perlu. Dari mana Copernicus dapat ide (matematis) tentang matahari sebagai pusat tata surya (heliosentris)? Ibnu Al-Shatir adalah seorang pakar Muwaqqit di Mesjin Umayyad, Damaskus, sekaligus sebagai orang yang membangun sundial (ter?) Dari pengalamannya di dunia astronomi, Ibnu Al-Shatir menulis buku tersebut, yang merombak habis teori geosentris Ptolemeus; kendati belum beranjak dari teori geosentris, tapi secara matematis, Al-Shatir memperkenalkan adanya epicycle yang rumit (sistem lingkaran dalam lingkaran). Matematika adalah bahasa yang universal, mempunyai kebenaran ilmiah yang tidak terbantahkan. Related
Medieval Music Medieval Music Medieval music was an integral part of everyday life for the people of that time period. Music of the Middle Ages was especially popular during times of celebration and festivities. Music was often played during holidays and special parties. On Mayday, dancers would dance to specially-prepared, high-pitched music. During Christmas, the sound of bells brought the good news of Jesus' birth to the listeners. People during the Middle Ages also ate to the sound of traditional music during and between meal courses. The music of Medieval times was very important to the listeners of that era, whether it be for special celebrations, holidays, or for something as simple as eating a meal.

Al-Hallaj, Sufi yang Disalib dan Dibakar (Bagian 1) Sufi besar ini mempunyai tempat cukup penting dalam dunia tasawuf. Pernyataan-pernyataannya cendrung kontroversial. Seperti Socrates – fisuf besar Yunani sekian abad sebelum masehi yang harus mati minum racun, Al-Hallaj juga tokoh besar dan filsuf yang dihukum mati karena mempertahankan pendapat dan ajarannya. Mereka sama-sama meninggalkan banyak legenda yang masih dibicarakan orang hingga kini. Lebih penting lagi ialah pemikiran dan gagasan-gagasannya yang brilian. Sudah ratusan buku yang membahas kedua tokoh ini. Dalam dunia sufi, Al-Hallaj mempunyai kisah tersendiri. Ia lahir dengan nama Abu Al-Mugis Al-Husain ibnu Mansur al-Baidlawi pada 858 M / 244 H di Baida, di Provinsi Fars, Iran. Ketika berguru pada Al-Makki itulah ia mulai mendapat pemahaman tentang Wahdatul Wujud, dan sejak itu ia banyak melontarkan ucapan-ucapan yang kontroversial. Meski bagi banyak orang dianggap nyeleneh, Al-Hallaj juga berdakwah. Ia menulis sejumlah kitab dan bait-bait puisi. “Engkau tidak ikut?”
Why We Remove Dams Over the past 100 years, the United States has led the world in dam building – blocking and and harnessing rivers for a variety of purposes, including hydropower, irrigation, flood control, and water storage. The US Army Corps of Engineers has catalogued at least 80,000 dams greater than 6 feet along the waterways of the United States – and at least tens of thousands of smaller dams pepper our rivers and streams. Secretary of the Interior Bruce Babbitt recently observed that, “on average, we have constructed one dam every day since the signing of the Declaration of Independence.” While dams can benefit society, they also cause considerable harm to rivers. Dams have depleted fisheries, degraded river ecosystems, and diminished recreational opportunities on nearly all of the nation’s rivers. Today, many dams are old, unsafe or no longer serve their intended purposes. How Do Dams Damage Rivers? 1. By diverting water for power, dams remove water needed for healthy in-stream ecosystems. 2. 3.

Colorado River Map Balancing Limited Supply With Increasing Demand The Colorado River Basin is a critical component of North American water supply, providing H2O to 30 million people and thousands of acres of farmland. When Colorado River withdrawals were first allocated among the river basin’s seven states, in 1922, the river held 17.5 million acre-feet (5.7 trillion gallons) of water. However, new science has shown that 1922 was part of an especially wet period. The river now averages about 14.7 million acre-feet per year and is allocated among seven states and Mexico. Water managers are trying to address growing challenges associated with over-allocation, rapidly increasing urban populations, development of unused water rights, and expected climate change.

National Geographic Freshwater 101: Rivers Rivers and their tributaries are the veins of the planet, pumping freshwater to wetlands and lakes and out to sea. They flush nutrients through aquatic ecosystems, keeping thousands of species alive, and help sustain fisheries worth billions of dollars. Rivers are also the lifeblood of human civilizations. They supply water to cities, farms, and factories. Rivers carve shipping routes around the globe, and provide us with food, recreation, and energy. Hydroelectric plants built from bank to bank harness the power of water and convert it to electricity. But rivers are also often the endpoint for much of our industrial and urban pollution and runoff. Over the course of human history, waterways have been manipulated for irrigation, urban development, navigation, and energy. The Colorado River provides an excellent example of what happens when demand for river water—for cities, industry, energy production, and agriculture—threatens to outpace supply. River Facts
