  2. Einstein's thought experiments - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein's_thought_experiments

    If they thought about the problem at all, most working physicists tended to follow Bohr's leadership. [40] [47] [48] In 1964, John Stewart Bell made the groundbreaking discovery that Einstein's local realist world view made experimentally verifiable predictions that would be in conflict with those of quantum mechanics. Bell's discovery shifted ...

  3. Eureka effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eureka_effect

    In this problem a set of 8 coins is arranged on a table in a certain configuration, and the subject is told to move 2 coins so that all coins touch exactly three others. The difficulty in this problem comes from thinking of the problem in a purely 2-dimensional way, when a 3-dimensional approach is the only way to solve the problem. [33]

  4. Hamming alleges that Einstein was so confident that his relativity theories were correct that the outcomes of observations designed to test them did not much interest him. If the observations were inconsistent with his theories, it would be the observations that were at fault. 2. Humans create and select the mathematics that fit a situation ...

  5. Visual thinking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_thinking

    Visual thinking is also referenced in problem-solving. [16] [17] Inspired by Albert Einstein's visualized thought experiments, "Image Streaming" uses active visualization to rapidly explore a problem and generate multiple solution options. [18] The technique was developed and formalized in the 1980s by Win Wenger. [19]

  6. Problem solving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_solving

    Albert Einstein believed that much problem solving goes on unconsciously, and the person must then figure out and formulate consciously what the mindbrain [jargon] has already solved. He believed this was his process in formulating the theory of relativity: "The creator of the problem possesses the solution."

  7. Occam's razor - Wikipedia

    [5] [6] In physics, parsimony was an important heuristic in the development and application of the principle of least action by Pierre Louis Maupertuis and Leonhard Euler, [43] in Albert Einstein's formulation of special relativity, [44] [45] and in the development of quantum mechanics by Max Planck, Werner Heisenberg and Louis de Broglie. [6] [46]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Einstein

    The Einstein-de Haas experiment is the only experiment concived, realized and published by Albert Einstein himself. A complete original version of the Einstein-de Haas experimental equipment was donated by Geertruida de Haas-Lorentz , wife of de Haas and daughter of Lorentz, to the Ampère Museum in Lyon France in 1961 where it is currently on ...

  9. Ten-percent-of-the-brain myth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten-percent-of-the-brain_myth

    Changes in grey and white matter following new experiences and learning have been shown, but it has not yet been proven what the changes are. [2] The popular notion that large parts of the brain remain unused, and could subsequently be "activated", rests in folklore and not science.
