Some Islamic scholars have suggested that verses in the Quran relate to scientific knowledge otherwise unknown at the time of the Quran's revelation. Some have drawn connections between verses and concepts and theories of modern physics, such as the origin and expansion of the universe to the motion of celestial bodies, the nature of light, effects of atmospheric pressure, and other physical phenomena. Islamic scholars suggest the presence of such knowledge would enhance the status of the Quran as a divine revelation transcending the time and environment in which it was revealed.
