Einstein On Creative Thinking: Music and the Intuitive Art of Scientific Imagination

As one of the greatest physicists of all time and a fine amateur pianist and violinist, he ought to have known! So what did Einstein mean and what does it tell us about the nature of creative thinking and how we should stimulate it? In our last post, we suggested that community singing might be a simple way to introduce creativity into one's life.

In the post before that Einstein's musical hobbies served as an example of personal creativity providing the kind of recreation that enables professional innovation.
