IMAGINATION IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN KNOWLEDGE

The inspiration for this video was the following quote from an interview with Albert Einstein, who stated: "I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution"...(Einstein, as cited in Viereck, 1929, p. 17).

It is CREATIVE THINKING combined WITH LOGIC PRECISION and the capability to TEST PREDICTIONS RIGOROUSLY what deeply explains NATURE.

Not primitive magical, delusional and wishful thinking ( actually this amounts to non-thinking ).

I agree, and am a huge proponent of the scientific method as an educator and rational human being. I think where much of teaching and learning goes wrong is that hypotheses are not tested, or worse, nobody wants to think for themselves and formulate a thesis (much less a testable one) in the first place.

Finally someone who emphasizes the BEST NATURAL GIFTS of human species: Imagination, Creativity, Powerful Intuition and Rigorous Logical Thinking departing from the best possible CONCRETE EVIDENCE ( scientific one ).

Imagination - Give knowledge it's meaning, imagination creates an awareness, knowledge relies on event's of the past, Imagination relies on nothing but pure thought of anyone individual that explores the possibilities of what could be. Imagination is limitless, while knowledge is limited.

But you need knowledge to imagine?... dont you... because to be able to imagine you need to know something to start your imagination? can you go in depth?

Nice pairing with the Beethoven...although Mozart comes to my mind first.
