Imagination To The Utmost

"Our imagination is stretched to the utmost, not, as in fiction, to imagine things which are not really there, but just to comprehend those things which are." - Richard Feynman

What more can I say? It makes me think about dealing with real life when we find solutions to our own little problems or about how easy it is to make up things, but so hard to really describe the real world.

I knew a professor that was a huge fan of Richard Feynman, not just because he was an brilliant physicist, but more because he was a real good teacher and writer that knew how to reach out to his students en how to express himself. Of course as a young student, I was too busy having fun instead of really trying to find out more about Feynman.

But now I appreciate this quote only more as I read a lot of boring scientific articles. It's a real shame he's an exception in the scientific world.
