APAD: Imagination is more important than knowledge

"Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world." - A. Einstein

In this quote, Einstein emphasizes the fundamental importance of the creative or imaginative element in the discovery of a new theory.

It means that the ability to creatively envision new possibilities and think beyond current limitations, as facilitated by imagination, is more crucial for progress and innovation than simply possessing existing knowledge alone; essentially, it emphasizes the power of creative thinking to drive new ideas and discoveries beyond the confines of what is already known.

While it's very true about the power of imagination in science, it's also true in our lives, for common folk or statesmen.

I was stunned and couldn't believe my eyes (and ears) by the news of crypto coins issued by the first family. Wow, what an era we are living in, imagination BLURS the line between reality and fantasy.  It's a wild, wild, wild world!!! 呵呵

While I'm at loss for worldly events, we do have some current fun activities in WXC which exploring imagination and reasoning. For example the annual "author guessing" event held by "王府剑客“, where our own 暖冬 is one of the 34 authors. 

So let's have some fun and a good Wednesday. 加油
