Why is Ibn Sahl left out of history? The Muslim genius who pioneered Snell's Law long before it was recognized.
Ibn Sahl (d. 1000), was a Muslim mathematician and physicist, who flourished in Baghdad. He was the first to discover the law of refraction (Snell's law).
Ibn Sahl uses this law to derive lens shapes that focus light with no geometric aberrations, known as anaclastic lenses.
Ibn Sahl is the first Muslim scholar known to have studied Ptolemy's Optics. Ibn Sahl dealt with parabolic mirrors, ellipsoidal mirrors, biconvex lenses, and techniques for drawing hyperbolic arcs.
In Iran there are no "hardliners" or "moderates" We are all Iranians and revolutionaries. With ironclad unity of nation and state and obedience to the Supreme Leader, we will make the aggressor regret. One God, one nation, one leader, one path; victory for Iran, dearer than life
The ignorant can be controlled with praise, but not the intelligent.

A simple Definition of #State (ریاست) ❗
A State is an organized #political community that has a fixed territory, permanent population, a government, and full control (sovereignty) over its internal and external affairs.
In short: State = People + Land + Government + Sovereignty
🇵🇰 OPINION: THE PAKISTANI MILITARY JUST DECLARED WAR ON DISSENT, AND IMRAN KHAN IS GROUND ZERO
Something dangerous just happened in Pakistan, and the world should not look away.
The country’s military DGISPR, through its official spokesperson, held one of the most aggressive, unprecedented press conferences in modern Pakistani history. Without naming him directly, the entire briefing was aimed at one man, jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan.
The military, now led by General Asim Munir and the powerful establishment behind him, accused Imran, the former leader and the most popular political figure in the country, of inciting anti-state sentiment, working against national security, and even encouraging foreign media and intelligence agencies to undermine the army. They called him mentally unstable, a national security threat, and implied he was a tool of foreign powers. His supporters were labeled conspirators, traitors, and agents of chaos.
Let that sink in.
A man who won the votes of tens of millions is allegedly being publicly criminalized for criticizing Asim Munir, the current army chief, and Qamar Bajwa, the former army chief. Not for treason, not for terrorism, but for challenging the narrative.
This isn't just a clash of personalities, this is the full force of a military institution silencing a democratic movement.
And it’s getting worse.
The military has now banned Imran Khan’s own sister, a prominent doctor, from visiting him in jail simply because she reportedly carried a message from her brother criticizing the army chief.
A family member is being denied access for passing on words. Not weapons. Not plans. Words.
They’ve also openly threatened to cut off all visits, even from lawyers, if any political message is conveyed.
This is not justice, this is not due process, this is authoritarian muscle cloaked in national security rhetoric.
And the truth is, none of this is new.
Since 1947, Pakistan’s military has repeatedly inserted itself into civilian politics, removing elected leaders, shaping foreign policy, and deciding the limits of political debate. Every time a civilian leader rises with genuine public backing, the generals move to break them.
For people unfamiliar with Pakistan’s deep state politics, Imran Khan is not some fringe figure. He’s a former cricket legend turned anti-corruption reformer who challenged the old political order, and allegedly, for that, the military has targeted him relentlessly. Arrests, assassination attempts, media blackouts, now total erasure.
The message is clear, either you support the military or you are the enemy.
This moment matters far beyond Pakistan.
When a nuclear-armed country silences its most popular civilian leader, brands political speech as sedition, and begins dismantling the boundary between security and governance, the entire region becomes more unstable.
It also reveals the cracks in the global democratic order.
As Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan, once warned, the armed forces are the servants of the people. Not the masters.
Imran Khan’s battle is no longer just a domestic one, it’s a test of whether a political movement powered by the people can survive the wrath of an entrenched military elite.
Today it’s banning lawyers, tomorrow, it may be banning elections.
It’s heartbreaking to watch yet another democracy crumble from within.
My father has been under arrest for 845 days. For the past six weeks, he has been kept in solitary confinement in a death cell with zero transparency. His sisters have been denied every visit, even with clear court orders allowing access. There have been no phone calls, no meetings and no proof of life. Me and my brother have had no contact with our father.
This absolute blackout is not a security protocol. It is a deliberate attempt to hide his condition and prevent our family from knowing whether he is safe.
Let it be clear: the Pakistani government and its handlers will be held fully accountable legally, morally and internationally for my father’s safety and for every consequence of this inhumane isolation.
I call on the international community, global human rights organisations and every democratic voice to intervene urgently. Demand proof of life, enforce court ordered access, end this inhumane isolation and call for the release of Pakistan’s most popular political leader who is being held solely for political reasons.
🚨🇵🇰 “WHERE IS IMRAN KHAN?” - THE QUESTION THAT JUST EXPLODED ACROSS PAKISTAN
Imran Khan’s party is sounding the alarm: the former PM hasn’t been seen by family or lawyers in 23 days, no explanations, no medical checks, nothing.
For a 73-year-old behind bars on charges he says were engineered by the military, that silence is loud.
PTI says he’s being held in “illegal isolation.”
Prison officials insist he’s “in good health.”
Some media whisper he might be moved to a high-security facility to make access even harder.
Meanwhile, WHEREISIMRANKHAN is trending like a national panic button - because Pakistan’s political memory is long, and enforced disappearances are not hypothetical.
Let’s be real: Khan’s downfall was never just about corruption cases. It was about crossing the military, the same institution that un-makes prime ministers as easily as it installs them.
His 2023 arrest triggered the biggest anti-army protests in years - and the establishment hasn’t forgotten.
If the government doesn’t produce him publicly soon, this goes from a health scare to a legitimacy crisis.
PTI supporters are already mobilizing, the streets are watching, and the military hates uncertainty.Keep your eyes on Rawalpindi - that’s where the real answers usually come from.

This comes as Nvidia commits up to $100B to OpenAI-related infrastructure and analysts project multi-trillion-dollar data-center capex by 2030.

AI isn’t only changing office jobs. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang says the AI build-out is creating a surge in demand for skilled trades as data centers go up worldwide.
He points to electricians, plumbers and carpenters as “big winners,” needed by the hundreds of thousands.

Huang’s broader point to young people is simple: trades will pay and stay in demand as this infrastructure expands, so trade school is a smart path to consider.
