Einstein vs. the brains of today...

It's true. Imagination is very important. It can open your mind to possibilities and then you follow the science/math to try and confirm.

humans didn't just start doing great things in the 1900's..... thats foolish.

I didn't say that. I was referencing your analogies.

ur point about imagination is true... but that also applies to curiosity and spirituality. As most great innovators were religious, but somehow any spiritual belief is painted as the enemy to scientific and technological innovation. -- people on here usually discount imagination, creativity, and definitely spirituality as motivators.....

i didn't create the premise for the basketball analogies, so .

C/S...Imagination is what fuels incredible discoveries and revolutionary inventions. Otherwise, people will be trying to work and create within the same old systems that have existed and progress will stagnate incrementally. Outside of the box thinking ftw

I have no problem with any philosophy, including religion, that inspires a search for scientific truth. I have a problem with when we have learned things and people deny it simply because it refutes their religion.

Agreed, but the technical knowledge and ability to perform logical problem solving is also a key component. I don't think it's a coincidence that some of the greatest minds that have ever lived engaged in the arts, sciences, math, and philosophy at the same time.

so you admit that religion is a figment of the human imagination and an example of human creativity?

Well, that's kind of like asking is prime Jordan better than prime LeBron. Einstein is like Jordan. Jordan has permanently changed the record books and history of NBA basketball. Yes, there will be new legends but what Jordan did can't be erased. Same thing with Einstein. His research was on another level and what he did can't be erased. e = mc squared, most people don't even know or understand it but they have heard of that equation.

There are NASA engineers who have come up with new and exciting advances in science, but it doesn't outshadow what Einstein has done.

negative, Einstein and Newton would be like the guy that invented basketball, like today's scientists, lebron and jordan are just living inside what somebody else created

this is a great book on this topic

It's not all about knowledge though breh. You have to have a philosophical/imagination component to go with that knowledge. Einstein and Newton, along with others, had that.

I'll give you an example that was explained to me using that Newton's apple myth:

Any man can see an apple falling and realize that there might be a force causing the apple to fall towards the earth, but it took someone special (two actually, Newton/Hooke) to realize that not only is that force pulling the apple towards the earth, but that same force is pulling the earth towards the apple (law of universal gravitation oversimplified).

not only that but the fact that newton saw that the same force making an apple to fall is the same force causing planets to orbit the sun was just

I don't really think you can quantify genius in some defined or applied sense. I think you have to qualify it and there's context as well. I think genius, in an abstract way, is having a particular insight into something that no one has else had (e.g. Annus Mirabilis papers). I think given his abilities and insight he would still be a preeminent scientist today. I cannot doubt that.

On another note, I think Aristotle is the greatest mind to ever live followed by Tesla.

 

[GoogleMe]

Tesla + Newton > everyone combined.

im not obsessed with any penis i just make opinions on matters. im not trolling. im pretty sure i could find an MIT student with the brains or better of Einstein seriously

 

[Vandelay]

True genius, no matter what the discipline comes from a place of creativity. It's truly hard to be revolutionary in this day and age because the fundamentals of everything that impact daily life have been discovered; thats not a knock to the minds of today rather the discoveries pioneered now are built on the creations of yesterday's geniuses so its really hard to gauge. The best barometer would be how much smarter was Einstein over his contemporaries compared to the smartest minds of today over their contemporaries.

Idk..

Doesn't matter what I think.... The #1 genius says...

"The gift of mental power comes from God, Divine Being, and if we concentrate our minds on that truth, we become in tune with this great power.”



"Religion is simply an ideal. It is an ideal force that tends to free the human being from material bonds. I do not believe that matter and energy are interchangeable, any more than are the body and soul.



"The gift of mental power comes from God, Divine Being, and if we concentrate our minds on that truth, we become in tune with this great power. My Mother had taught me to seek all truth in the Bible; therefore I devoted the next few months to the study of this work."

funny you think that....
einstein newton... invented plays, passes, allyhoops, dunks n shyt......

The game was invented by people with MUCH greater insight... people who saw shyt that was so far beyond human imagination at their time, it's just ridiculous.
