Is imagination is more important than knowledge? One of the brightest physician the world, Albert Einstein, was famously quoted saying, "Imagination is more important than knowledge." Is that so? He was considered as an absolute genius, and at times he could not even figure out how to do the math to solve the equations he came up with. He simply made a theory with his imagination, and let others proved the theory. The icing of the cake is, Albert Einstein would imagine sitting on a ray of light and would compare situations, and would be able to come up with solutions to problems by using his imagination. This is not really scientific, is it? In my opinion, what we imagine would have to be something that we know, something that based on our past experience and knowledge to produce another new knowledge. Either way, knowledge must top in any list. He also said, "We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them." Is he saying that logical problems need a more creative solution by using the imagination, rather than the conservative way, reading and widening our knowledge to come up with another solution. Nonetheless, there's must something that he wants us to understand, and me till now, never get the idea.
