"Einstein considered intuition a "sacred gift" and the primary source of scientific insight, believing it superior to pure logic or knowledge for creative breakthroughs. He famously stated that "the only real valuable thing is intuition," often relying on "hunches" and visualization—such as imagining riding a light beam—to discover fundamental laws."

Key aspects of Einstein's reliance on intuition include:
  • Intuition vs. Rationality: He viewed the intuitive mind as a sacred gift, while the rational mind was merely a "faithful servant".
  • Scientific Insight: He believed major discoveries did not come from logical deduction alone, but through leaps of intuition.
  • Music as a Catalyst:
    Einstein attributed his scientific insight partly to music, noting that the theory of relativity occurred to him by intuition, which was driven by his musical experiences
    Visualization: Rather than just mathematical formulas, he used mental imagery and "thought experiments" to understand complex physical principles.

    Embracing the Absurd: He believed that if an idea does not initially sound absurd, there is no hope for it.

    "His approach prioritized understanding the underlying, simple principles of nature, often ignoring excessive data that might cloud his judgment."
