Even for one of the most influential scientific geniuses in
history, knowledge was not the ultimate end goal. In Albert Einstein’s 1931
collection of essays titled “Cosmic Religion: With Other Opinions and
Aphorisms,” he argued that the apparent dualities of science and religion,
knowledge and imagination, and logic and wonder are in fact compatible, and
together they enrich the human experience. Einstein spoke frequently about
imagination, which he believed was a crucial component of scientific
progress. "Logic will get you from A to B," he said.
"Imagination will take you everywhere." The famed physicist reminds
us that it is imagination that gives wings to knowledge, by pointing the way
to new possibilities.
