Summary/Abstract: The research in this paper has been based on the topic of Corrections of Aristotelian physics by Ibn Sina, Al-Ghazali and Al-Baghdadi. Aristotle’s physics was dominant for over two thousand years, or more precisely, from the 4th century B.C. to the end of the 16th century A.D. The medieval period in science, especially in physics, was regarded as the period of Dark Age. At the time Aristotle’s physics was taken uncritically only by a few scientists. By analysing the work of a certain number of Arabic physicists, one can conclude that, by introducing experimental and mathematical argument as a scientific method they not only kept the continuity of development of physics from Ancient times to the Renaissance, but also connected and improved Aristotle’s Physics.
