During Medieval times, scientific knowledge in the
Islamic World was very high.
Then the printing press was created, developed,
and improved. The Christian areas adopted it
and almost totally Islam did not.

Great improvements were made and shared in science.
"7 Ways the Printing Press Changed the World

knowledge more quickly and widely. Civilization never looked back."
And one of the major reasons the Arab world & Islam
fell so far behind the West, is that they never really
accepted this advance.
"revolutionary ideas and priceless ancient knowledge were placed
in the hands of every literate European, whose numbers doubled
every century."
“If you printed 200 copies of a book in Venice, you could sell
five to the captain of each ship leaving port,” says Palmer,
which created the first mass-distribution mechanism for
printed books."
