This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. How can we unlock the secrets of the universe?  To Omar, it's simple. Question everything! 

In this talk, he creates an enveloping world of light, sound, and smoke in order to walk us through this visual and auditory deception and hopefully see the light. 

Omar Moujaes spent most of his teenage years in front of a computer trying to experiment with different primitive editing software. While pursuing his passion in film he also engaged in a domain he never expected to love, theater. 

His enthusiasm for film-making and the intricate nature of this domain has kept him fascinated as both an undergraduate student at LAU and a current postgraduate in Chicago. 

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
