Yes, maybe creativity is the point where art, science and engineering meet each other. To create a new piece of art, to find a new theory, and to find a new way to construct something is similar: it is difficult, it requires experience and sometimes luck, and it is often considered as a mysterious process how people come up with new ideas and new things.
-J. ----- Original Message ----- From: Orlando Leibovitz To: The Friday Morning Applied Complexity Coffee Group Sent: Monday, July 28, 2008 5:03 AM Subject: [FRIAM] The Brain and Creativity My own feeling is that creativity, for example, in visual art and in theoretical physics contains the same attributes. Einstein was as much an artist as a physicist. I realize theoretical physics must deal with the "real world" but the process of original discovery seems the same to me. ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College lectures, archives, unsubscribe, maps at http://www.friam.org
