SPATIAL THINKING FOR INNOVATION: THE LEONARDO-MAXWELL-EINSTEIN METHOD, REVIVED

Abstract

Free-running spatial intuition is like analog computation: it is indispensable for scientific progress despite its intrinsic inaccuracy. Do return to the first beginnings of a gold vein, was Maxwell’s advice. Returning to the gold vein of Einstein’s “happiest thought†leads to three other shiny results. Many accepted findings crumble as the barefoot method shows its mettle. A new cosmology is implicit and so is a new source of energy.
