In this episode of Fexingo History, Lucas and Luna explore the life and work of Abu Ali al-Hasan ibn al-Hasan ibn al-Haytham, known in the West as Alhazen. Born in Basra in 965 CE, Ibn al-Haytham made groundbreaking contributions to optics, mathematics, and the philosophy of science. His seven-volume Kitab al-Manazir (Book of Optics) not only correctly explained how vision works—via light rays entering the eye—but also established a rigorous method of experimentation and mathematical proof that foreshadowed the modern scientific method. Lucas and Luna discuss his famous camera obscura experiment, his critique of Ptolemy and Galen, his controversial career under the Fatimid caliph al-Hakim (feigning madness to escape a failed Nile project), and his later work in Cairo's Dar al-Hikma. They also consider his influence on later scientists like Roger Bacon, Kepler, and Descartes. This episode dives deep into one figure who single-handedly reshaped how we investigate nature, bridging ancient Greek theory and Renaissance science. #IbnAlHaytham #Alhazen #Optics #ScientificMethod #KitabAlManazir #CameraObscura #Fatimid #DarAlHikma #Basra #Cairo #Ptolemy #Galen #AlHakim #RogerBacon #HistoryOfScience #IslamicGoldenAge #FexingoHistory #History Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
