Since my childhood, I have been passionate about knowledge, not content with what is said, but always asking: Why? How? And what is the reason? My numerous questions surprised those around me, but they also drove me to seek the truth. I loved mathematics and astronomy, and I found in light and vision a great secret that drew me to it. I would stand by my window, watching the sun's rays piercing the room, and contemplating how dust appears in luminous lines... and I would say to myself: "There is a wonderful secret in this!" When I grew up, I was asked to come to Cairo, because the Fatimid Caliph had heard that I said: "If I were in Egypt, I would build a dam to regulate the flooding of the Nile." But when I saw the Nile with my own eyes, I realized that the matter was greater than I thought, and I did not have the necessary tools to implement my idea. I feared the Caliph's anger, so I pretended to be mad! Yes, I lived in confinement for many years... but it was the best thing that happened to me! In that isolation, I immersed myself in study and writing, and my greatest work was: "Kitab al-Manazir", in which I studied vision and light, and said something that contradicted what the scientists before me had believed: "The eye does not emit a ray as the ancients claimed, but rather receives light reflected from objects." I based my research on observation and experimentation, not on assumptions, and I was one of the first to pave the way for the modern scientific method. I used a dark box and a small hole through which light enters to observe how the image is formed on the opposite wall... and today, they call this device: "The Camera Obscura", which is the precursor of modern cameras. Thus was my journey... I was not only a researcher in vision, but also in mathematics, astronomy, engineering, and physics... I left behind books that are still read, and ideas that inspired those who came after me.
