Explanation:

Albert Einstein remains a critically prominent figure who conducted remarkable, ground-breaking research that not only formed the foundations of modern physics but also strongly affected the scientific world. It is difficult to teach imagination but it can be harnessed and accepted. Nothing incites our imaginative impulses we love more than the prospect of immediate creative inspiration. And creativity hits its full potential when paired with the experience, insights, and skills people gained by questioning the real-life problems.
