Did shit from the Scientific Revolution in Europe get discovered independently elsewhere? Shit like what Newton(laws of motion, how gravity works, orbits), Copernicus(heliocentrism), Galileo(Jupiter's moons, free fall), etc did. I have heard that heliocentrism might have actually been discovered in the Islamic world before Copernicus and I was wondering if places like China or India had discovered Galileo and Newton's works independently. As well as other places.

Imperial China believed in a flat earth so that rules out Galileo and Copernicus. Newtons laws were also absent. On the whole the Chinese didn't really bother an awful lot with science.
