 Ibn Al-Haytham was the first person ever to set down the rules of science. 
 He created an error-correcting mechanism. A systematic and relentless way 
 to sift out misconceptions in our way of thinking.

 ‘Finding truth is difficult. And the road to it is rough. As seekers of the 
 truth you will be wise to withhold judgement and not simply put your trust in 
 the writings of the ancients. You must question and critically examine those 
 writings from every side. You must admit only to argument and experiment, and 
 not to the sayings of any person. For every human being is vulnerable to all 
 kinds of imperfection. As seekers of the truth we must also suspect and question 
 our own ideas as we perform our investigations, to avoid falling into prejudice 
 or careless thinking. Take this course and truth will be revealed to you.’
