“Imagination is more important than knowledge.”
— Albert Einstein
【English explanation】
This quote speaks to the boundless power of imagination over the limits of accumulated knowledge. Knowledge tells us what is — the facts we have already discovered and verified. But imagination dares to ask what could be. Einstein understood that every great scientific breakthrough begins not with data, but with a leap of imagination — a thought experiment, a wild hypothesis, a dream of something that has never existed before. Knowledge is finite and backward-looking; imagination is infinite and forward-looking. While knowledge gives us the tools to build, imagination gives us the vision to build something worth creating.
【中文解释】
这句话道出了想象力超越已知知识的无限力量。知识告诉我们”是什么”——那些已经被发现和验证的事实。但想象力敢于追问”可能是什么”。爱因斯坦深知，每一个伟大的科学突破都不是从数据开始的，而是源于想象力的飞跃——一个思想实验、一个大胆的假说、一个从未存在过的梦想。知识是有限的、回顾过去的；想象力是无限的、展望未来的。知识给了我们建造的工具，而想象力给了我们建造值得创造之物的远见。
