description Ibn al-Haytham Overview
Ibn al-Haytham, often referred to as the 'father of modern optics,' was a pioneer of the scientific method. His 'Book of Optics' provided the first correct explanation of vision, proving that light reflects off objects into the eye. He emphasized the necessity of empirical evidence and experimental verification, centuries before the European Renaissance. His work influenced generations of scientists, including Kepler and Newton, and established the rigorous standards of inquiry that define modern science.
