Not only Einstein but many other famous scientists and mathematicians also used imagination, such as Benjamin Franklin. Benjamin Franklin imagined artificial light so he investigated lightning and its electric potential and conducted a crazy experiment where he could have killed himself. He went down in history because he imagined. To practical think about this quote, he is correct because when we store information in our brains less effort is put

In their house, the Eisenhower family allows “no drinking, card playing or dancing” (Brooks 50).…
