The episode includes a look at the contributions of the 10th century physicist Ibn al-Haythamdescribed as the "father of the Hiding from the Light scientific method". The episode was received positively by critics, with many remarking on the brilliant visuals of the end sequence completed with Rhapsody in Blue "showcasing the same image Hiding from the Light New York City, viewed through the filters of various wavelengths of light: visible, infrared, ultraviolet, X-ray, gamma ray, microwave, and even a radio image". This episode explores the wave theory of light as studied by mankind, noting that light has played an Hiding from the Light role in scientific progress, with such early experiments from over years ago involving the camera obscura by the Chinese philosopher Mozi. Tyson describes the work of the 11th century Arabic scientist Ibn al-Haythamconsidered to be one of Hiding from the Light first to postulate on the nature of light and optics leading to the concept of the telescopeas well as one of the first researchers to use the scientific method. Tyson proceeds to discuss the nature of light as discovered by mankind. Work by Isaac Newton using refraction through prisms demonstrated that light was composed of the visible spectrumwhile findings of William Herschel in the 19th century showed that light also consisted of infrared rays. Joseph von Fraunhofer would later come to discover that by magnifying the spectrum of visible light, gaps in the spectrum would be observed. These Fraunhofer lines would later be determined to be caused by the absorption of light by electrons in moving between atomic orbitals when it passed through atoms, with each atom having a characteristic signature due to the quantum nature of these orbitals. This since has led to the core of astronomical spectroscopyallowing astronomers to make observations about the composition of stars, planets, and other stellar features through the spectral lines, as well as observing the motion and expansion of the universe, and the existence of dark matter.

It's time to get going again. We're about to begin a journey that will take us from the infinitesimal to the infinite, from the dawn of time to the distant future. We'll explore galaxies and suns and worlds, surf the gravity waves of space-time, encounter beings that live in fire and ice, explore the planets of stars that never die, discover atoms as massive as suns and universes smaller than atoms.

Photo: Mike Killian NASA launches third generation communications satellite Photo: Mike Killian NASA’s Tracking and Data Relay Satellite L (TDRS-L), the 12th spacecraft in the agency’s TDRS Project, is safely in or- bit after launching January 23 aboard a United Launch Alli- ance Atlas V rocket from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. Ground controllers report the satellite – part of a network providing high-data-rate communications to the Internation- al Space Station, Hubble Space Telescope, launch vehicles and a host of other spacecraft – is in good health at the start of a three-month checkout by its manufacturer, Boeing Space and Intelligence Systems of El Segundo, Calif. “TDRS-L and the entire TDRS fleet provide a vital service to America’s space program by supporting missions that range from Earth-observation to deep space discoveries,” said NASA Administrator Charles Bolden. The mission of the TDRS Project, established in 1973, is to support NASA’s space communications network. This net- work provides high data-rate communications. The TDRS fleet began operating during the space shuttle era with the launch of TDRS-1 in 1983. Of the 11 TDRS space- craft placed in service to date, eight still are operational. TDRS-M, the next spacecraft in this series, is on track to be ready for launch in late 2015.

  • Cosmos Quest Episode 5
    Quests and Discussions! for Students, Episode 5 Written by Ann Druyan Produced by Cosmos! Studios Overview Episode 5, “Hiding in the Light,” is about the various meanings of light and enlightenment – curiosity about light as a motive force in discovery and the critical role of free inquiry in the !history of science. Grade Levels !6-12 Episode Summary The keys to the cosmos have been lying in plain sight all along. Light, itself, holds so many of them, but we never realized they were there until we learned the basic rules of science. A quirk of light may have moved us to paint our first pictures in pre-historic times. The natural phenomenon of the camera obscura is explained. Our earliest experiments with light begin with a two thousand year old Chinese movie described by the ancient philosopher, Mozi. The violent suppression of his work, free thought and speech by China’s first emperor make us an eyewitness to history’s first book- burning. We visit the Europe and North Africa of the 11th century, to the golden age of Islam, when Arabic was the language of science. While there, we encounter Ibn al-Hazen, the physicist who first understood and demonstrated experimentally how we see and how light travels. These are epochal achievements to be sure, but by no means al-Hazen’s greatest. al- Hazen devised a machine for making countless other discoveries – the scientific method. It is also the true fairy tale of the 19th century penniless Bavarian orphan who was rescued by a prince from the rubble of a house where he labored in indentured servitude.

  • Ibn Al-Haytham and Scientific Method
    IBN AL-HAYTHAM AND SCIENTIFIC METHOD A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Islamic Studies By Sohrab Ghassemi, M.A. Washington, DC March 3, 2020 Copyright 2020 by Sohrab Ghassemi All Rights Reserved ii IBN AL-HAYTHAM AND SCIENTIFIC METHOD Sohrab Ghassemi, M.A. Thesis Advisor: Jonathan A.C. Brown, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This examination into the history of Arabic science explores the methods utilized by Ibn al-Haytham for his scientific investigations. Specifically, this study compares and contrasts his approach towards establishing the equal angles law of reflection for light in chapter three of book four of his Kitāb al-Manāẓir, or The Book of Optics, with the approach taken by him in his maqālat-u fī mā'īyat-i al- athar-i alladhī fī wajh-i al-qamar-i, or "Treatise on the Nature of the Marks on the Surface of the Moon." The analysis focuses upon his technical usage of the word i‘tibār, and its variants, in order to arrive at the finding that his most advanced method for inquiry into the natural world did not constitute full experimental testing in the sense of the modern scientific method, but rather can best be understood as a type of controlled observation that yet still goes beyond the ancient Greek idea of empeiría (empiricism). Further, when he was able to utilize instrumentation for his research, he also achieved a science of demonstration (apódeixis) with an emphasis upon the repeatability of his findings.
