A foolish question gave Albert Einstein some of the most serious breakthroughs. At the age of sixteen, Einstein thought, "What will happen if I follow the ray?" With the influence of Einstein, Einstein challenged the unlimited challenge of the absolute nature of space and time. Wisdom finally led to the theory of special relativity theory and general relativity theory. As Einstein explained later, "When I look at myself and my way of thinking, I reach the conclusion that fantasy gifts are more important to me than their ability to absorb positive knowledge."

When we think of genius, we think about people like Albert Einstein. One normative story of Einstein's genius is the discovery of a story of special relativity by Einstein. I imagined that he was following the light beam at the speed of light, and I noticed that it seemed to be stationary. He changed this insight into a mathematical language, and a special theory of relativity was born. Let's call this discovery method abstract thought. What the general public does not recognize is to use a genius, tinkering to use another discovery method. Jon Gertner, author of "Ideology Factory: Bell Labs" and "The American Age of American Innovation" (referring to this article), many physicists and technical assistants at Bell Labs say "separation" The original ability of automobile engines and radios is "the ability to recombine them together and transform them into gifts for crystal growth, preparation of metal surfaces for contacts, or for building experiments."
