Scientific paper

We point out the need for a greater awareness among physicists of medieval physical science. We review briefly and give examples of notable achievements of that era in mechanics and in astronomy. In light of these, the essence of the role of the Scientific Revolution can be understood more clearly. It is argued that the view of science of fourteenth-century nominalism has greater affinity to today's theoretical physics than that of the Scientific Revolution. The role of medieval science in the teaching of physics is discussed.
