As we know from the work of certain fundamental physicists, people like Einstein were very dependent upon conjuring up visual images in order to imagine things which otherwise were not easily formulated.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Dr. Einstein was not successful in school, but he found something in the air from his own imagination and his own brain power, and look what he did.
Einstein, in the special theory of relativity, proved that different observers, in different states of motion, see different realities.
The point is that the arts are important enough to have influenced the greatest minds and talents we know. Albert Einstein said that if he were not a physicist, he would probably be a musician.
Intellectual curiosity drove Einstein to some of the world's most important discoveries.
The paradox of reality is that no image is as compelling as the one which exists only in the mind's eye.
Artists realise that mathematicians have a way of looking at the world that can make them see things differently.
Nowadays people's visual imagination is so much more sophisticated, so much more developed, particularly in young people, that now you can make an image which just slightly suggests something, they can make of it what they will.
Through the mythology of Einstein, the world blissfully regained the image of knowledge reduced to a formula.
Since Einstein developed his theory of relativity, and Rutherford and Bohr revolutionised physics, our picture of the world has radically changed.
What Einstein was able to do was - to use a cliche - think out of the box.
