When Einstein said that, you know, so like, how, see, look at me.

I am supposedly like this smart, intelligent person.

Yeah.

I am afraid to say it and own it myself.

I have to find confirmation.

I have to find an authority who agrees with me.

And in fact, it's not so difficult to find because Albert Einstein literally said the most important thing in life is the mysterious.

He actually said that.

There are some quotes which are attributed to him, which he never said, but this he did.

I investigated.

But more importantly, how do you feel about it?

I think that everybody knows, but in other words, he also said Einstein, imagination is more important than knowledge, okay?

And he explained, for knowledge is always limited.

Whereas imagination embraces the entire world, giving birth to evolution.

It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research, he says.

And he says, I am enough of an artist to follow my intuition and imagination.

That's Albert Einstein, again.

And I feel the same way, to be honest.

If I think about my own mathematical research, it's never linear.

It's never like, give me more data, give me more data, give me more data.
