PS: At http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academy_of_Gondishapur you can see how little we actually know of 'Sassanid science'. Where are the works which it produced? It says the academy was then an international centre of medicine, but the physicists listed are almost without exception from the post-Sassanid period...and so it goes with Sassanid science. So often maintained, never proven to have existed.
