So I saw this video, which I understood nothing from it. Basically, it claims that the qur'an had the speed of light in it, which was discovered a thousand years later, I guess, by Einestine.
Now I don't have a big head for math and phisics stuff, so I need a big head from this site to bust it if they can. So Big Heads, Have fun

It wasn't Einstein who worked out the speed of light. A first approximation was done by seeing the timing of a moon passing Jupiter some time around 1680 - the moon appeared to pass in front of Jupiter at different times. They were able to guess that in fact the moon passed in front at the same time - but the light from this took more time to get to the Earth if the Earth was on the far side of the sun.
"Proper" accurate measurements of the speed of light happened in the 19th century.

1 average orbit of moon = 1,499,618 miles distance
x12 orbits per year
+
Quran refers to 1000 years

1,499,618 Miles
x
12,000 (12 x 1000)
= 17,995,416,000 (miles the moon travels in 1000 years)

Speed of light = 186,282.397 (miles per second)
86,400 (seconds per day)

186,282.397
x
86,400
= 16,094,799,100.8 (lights distance in miles per 1 day)

Miles the moon travels in 1000 years:
17,995,416,000
Miles the Speed of light travels in one day:
16,094,799,100.8

16,094,799,100.8
-
17,995,416,000
= 1,900,616,889.2

Even if we went by the Muslims own calculations, the Quran would still be off by 1.9 Billion miles...
