7 things Albert Einstein taught me about creativity

7 things Albert Einstein taught me about creativity

By Todd BrisonAug 16, 2018
ut first, this critical distinction:
  • Creativity is — solving problems, fashioning products, or defining new questions in a way that is novel.
  • Art is — the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination
  • The Arts are — the various branches of creative activity, such as painting, music, literature, and dance.
I bring that up because most believe scientists, engineers, programmers, and accountants cannot be not creative people. They only served as the workhorses to execute the vision of those of us fortunate enough to dance with the Muse on a daily basis.
Not true.
Creativity comes from the mastery of any domain. Proper information leads to new patterns and connections and ideas. Which means we can find clues to creative process in anyone from Pablo Picasso to a nameless, sweaty bricklayer.
Or in this case, a wild-eyed physicist who did poorly in school.

1. Anyone could have done what Einstein did

Around the time Einstein shook the world with his Special Theory of Relativity paper, physicists were already at a flex point.
Those in the field were already debating the notion that there was an “absolute” anything. Work from other physicists at the time, such as Michael Faraday, had decided the work of Galileo and Newton weren’t comprehensive enough. Seeds of Einstein’s accomplishment were being planted at all sides, as the field at large was starting to realize something called “the ether” wasn’t responsible for objects appearing to move at different speeds. The word “relativity” was already being spread from professor to lab rat.
Is Einstein of incredible intellect? Yes. Did he put his own ingenious spin on the topic? No doubt.
But is he the ONLY one who could have done what he did? The Chosen One who came to bring light to the world?
I doubt it.
Einstein himself called the paper: “an amazingly simple summary and generalization,” which is hardly a fanfare.
All Einstein did was execute on a key tool in the artist’s box: The +1 Rule. He absorbed the information in front of him and said “okay yeah, but also this.”
Yes, creativity sometimes happens in leaps and bounds.
But typically it is chaste and quiet, slipping into professional use as easily as a river feeds into an ocean. Einstein’s breakthrough would have been equally bland if not for…

2. Personal branding rockstar

Einstein died in 1955.
So explain to me why he is on a sweater from Forever 21.
Why Einstein gear?
Where is my coffee mug featuring Jules-Henri Poincaré, who is coined the phrase “principle of relativity” long before Einstein wrote his paper? Why do our children not play with toys from the Baby Föppl* company, when teacher August Föppl himself probably contributed most to Einstein’s early understanding of mechanical physics?
A couple of thoughts:
a) Nothing to do with science
Quick, name me a the biggest quantum physicist in the game today (no Google)
b) He looks like a genius
There no chance you look at the face on that sweatshirt and think “Yeah, I want this man as my tax lawyer.”
c) Instantly recognizable
For reference, here are some other physicists of the day:
And here’s Albert:
d) He’s a big, goofy kid
Forever 21 didn’t have to manufacture the face, Einstein made it all the time
e) An easy name to pronounce
This matters. Say what you want, but Einstein was from Germany. His name could have been Albert Schimmelpfennig. There’s no chance Americans remember that many consonants.
f) Actually fun to be around
Probably due to his time spent in a patent office as opposed to a stuffy lab with other people who were smarter than everyone else.
g) Not shy about opinions
In his later years, Big Al pretty much told everyone what he thought about everything. Including Jews, how to use atomic energy in a peaceful way, eliminating all weapons, and civil liberties.
Today we call that “branding.” I think Einstein probably just called it “being a human.”
*Someone make a Baby Föppl logo RIGHT NOW

3. It’s fine to have a job

You won’t see this quote on a poster:
“A practical profession is a salvation for a man of my type; an academic career compels a young man to scientific production and only strong characters can resist the temptation of superficial analysis.”
Which is basically Einstein speak for
“If your bills are on the line, you will take shortcuts.”
Einstein worked as a patent clerk. His earth-shattering theories came not in spite of those dull hours, but because of it.
This seems particularly relevant today, when everyone wants to have started 4 companies by the time they turn 25.

4. Good work speaks for itself

Here are some things which happened when Einstein’s first relativity paper started circulating in the scientific community:
  • He received letters addressed to “Professor Einstein” (which he wasn’t)
  • He got a job offer from Zurich (where he couldn’t get a job 10 years prior)
  • He was nominated for the Nobel Prize (but didn’t win it yet)
The world does not care what your title is. It does not care how many direct reports you have. It also does not care about your pedigree (or the lack thereof).
Here’s what matters: having a new idea. Executing on your vision for it.
Repeating that process as often as possible.

5. Divergent thinking

Which is the term you should use to explain to your boss why you come up with such off-the-wall solutions.
This is opposed to CONvergent thinking, which is what we usually consider mastery. You use convergent thinking to speak a language, do any math, or lift weights.
Divergent thinking occurs when you remember that once you saw a contest on TV where strong men hurled big logs over a bar, so you set up a contest in your gym that involves chucking kettlebells over the soda machine.*
Convergent thinking finds all the dots. Divergent thinking connects the ones nobody else does.
*You don’t have to worry about the consequences. Tell the attendant you are working on your creative genius**
**Please don’t actually do that

6. Faustian bargain

I am stealing this description directly from author and psychologist Howard Gardner. In his seminal book — Creating Minds — Gardner points out that seven creative people who brought about modern era (of which he considers Einstein to be included) all made a Faustian Bargain.
I’ve heard that term in a different way: “A Deal with the Devil.
This is a common thread in many people who stand out, from pianist to CEO. An excellent yet tragic example is Pablo Picasso’s abysmal treatment of almost everyone he came in contact with as an adult.
Einstein himself was not exactly a poster child for stable relationships, as you probably know. You probably also know he was poor at school. But it seems that energy was devoted intentionally to other things.
It seems Einstein would not have been able to do what he did if not for seeing the little things in his life (like a wife or two) as “small problems.”
He was more than willing to ignore them in favor of tackling the big ones.

7. Fantasy beats knowledge

It seems appropriate to end with a quote since we started with one.
(Remember, this coming from a man whose domain who respects information above all else):
“The gift of fantasy has meant more to me than my talent for absorbing positive knowledge.”
I love that so much I could cry.
After all, if you don’t have dreams, what do you have?
Much love as always ❤

{\bf Abstract: } In this announcement, we shall introduce the zero division $z/0=0$. The result is a definite one and it is fundamental in mathematics.
\bigskip
\section{Introduction}
%\label{sect1}
By a natural extension of the fractions
\begin{equation}
\frac{b}{a}
\end{equation}
for any complex numbers $a$ and $b$, we, recently, found the surprising result, for any complex number $b$
\begin{equation}
\frac{b}{0}=0,
\end{equation}
incidentally in \cite{s} by the Tikhonov regularization for the Hadamard product inversions for matrices, and we discussed their properties and gave several physical interpretations on the general fractions in \cite{kmsy} for the case of real numbers. The result is a very special case for general fractional functions in \cite{cs}. 
The division by zero has a long and mysterious story over the world (see, for example, google site with division by zero) with its physical viewpoints since the document of zero in India on AD 628, however,
Sin-Ei, Takahasi (\cite{taka}) (see also \cite{kmsy}) established a simple and decisive interpretation (1.2) by analyzing some full extensions of fractions and by showing the complete characterization for the property (1.2). His result will show that our mathematics says that the result (1.2) should be accepted as a natural one:
\bigskip
{\bf Proposition. }{\it Let F be a function from ${\bf C }\times {\bf C }$ to ${\bf C }$ such that
$$
F (b, a)F (c, d)= F (bc, ad)
$$
for all
$$
a, b, c, d \in {\bf C }
$$
and
$$
F (b, a) = \frac {b}{a }, \quad a, b \in {\bf C }, a \ne 0.
$$
Then, we obtain, for any $b \in {\bf C } $
$$
F (b, 0) = 0.
$$
}
\medskip
\section{What are the fractions $ b/a$?}
For many mathematicians, the division $b/a$ will be considered as the inverse of product;
that is, the fraction
\begin{equation}
\frac{b}{a}
\end{equation}
is defined as the solution of the equation
\begin{equation}
a\cdot x= b.
\end{equation}
The idea and the equation (2.2) show that the division by zero is impossible, with a strong conclusion. Meanwhile, the problem has been a long and old question:
As a typical example of the division by zero, we shall recall the fundamental law by Newton:
\begin{equation}
F = G \frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}
\end{equation}
for two masses $m_1, m_2$ with a distance $r$ and for a constant $G$. Of course,
\begin{equation}
\lim_{r \to +0} F =\infty,
\end{equation}
however, in our fraction
\begin{equation}
F = G \frac{m_1 m_2}{0} = 0.
\end{equation}
\medskip


Now, we shall introduce an another approach. The division $b/a$ may be defined {\bf independently of the product}. Indeed, in Japan, the division $b/a$ ; $b$ {\bf raru} $a$ ({\bf jozan}) is defined as how many $a$ exists in $b$, this idea comes from subtraction $a$ repeatedly. (Meanwhile, product comes from addition).
In Japanese language for "division", there exists such a concept independently of product.
H. Michiwaki and his 6 years old girl said for the result $ 100/0=0$ that the result is clear, from the meaning of the fractions independently the concept of product and they said:
$100/0=0$ does not mean that $100= 0 \times 0$. Meanwhile, many mathematicians had a confusion for the result.
Her understanding is reasonable and may be acceptable:
$100/2=50 \quad$ will mean that we divide 100 by 2, then each will have 50.
$100/10=10 \quad$ will mean that we divide 100 by10, then each will have 10.
$100/0=0 \quad$ will mean that we do not divide 100, and then nobody will have at all and so 0.
Furthermore, she said then the rest is 100; that is, mathematically;
$$
100 = 0\cdot 0 + 100.
$$
Now, all the mathematicians may accept the division by zero $100/0=0$ with natural feelings as a trivial one?
\medskip
For simplicity, we shall consider the numbers on non-negative real numbers. We wish to define the division (or fraction) $b/a$ following the usual procedure for its calculation, however, we have to take care for the division by zero:
The first principle, for example, for $100/2 $ we shall consider it as follows:
$$
100-2-2-2-,...,-2.
$$
How may times can we subtract $2$? At this case, it is 50 times and so, the fraction is $50$.
The second case, for example, for $3/2$ we shall consider it as follows:
$$
3 - 2 = 1
$$
and the rest (remainder) is $1$, and for the rest $1$, we multiple $10$,
then we consider similarly as follows:
$$
10-2-2-2-2-2=0.
$$
Therefore $10/2=5$ and so we define as follows:
$$
\frac{3}{2} =1 + 0.5 = 1.5.
$$
By these procedures, for $a \ne 0$ we can define the fraction $b/a$, usually. Here we do not need the concept of product. Except the zero division, all the results for fractions are valid and accepted.
Now, we shall consider the zero division, for example, $100/0$. Since
$$
100 - 0 = 100,
$$
that is, by the subtraction $100 - 0$, 100 does not decrease, so we can not say we subtract any from $100$. Therefore, the subtract number should be understood as zero; that is,
$$
\frac{100}{0} = 0.
$$
We can understand this: the division by $0$ means that it does not divide $100$ and so, the result is $0$.
Similarly, we can see that
$$
\frac{0}{0} =0.
$$
As a conclusion, we should define the zero divison as, for any $b$
$$
\frac{b}{0} =0.
$$
See \cite{kmsy} for the details.
\medskip

\section{In complex analysis}
We thus should consider, for any complex number $b$, as (1.2);
that is, for the mapping
\begin{equation}
w = \frac{1}{z},
\end{equation}
the image of $z=0$ is $w=0$. This fact seems to be a curious one in connection with our well-established popular image for the point at infinity on the Riemann sphere.
However, we shall recall the elementary function
\begin{equation}
W(z) = \exp \frac{1}{z}
\end{equation}
$$
= 1 + \frac{1}{1! z} + \frac{1}{2! z^2} + \frac{1}{3! z^3} + \cdot \cdot \cdot .
$$
The function has an essential singularity around the origin. When we consider (1.2), meanwhile, surprisingly enough, we have:
\begin{equation}
W(0) = 1.
\end{equation}
{\bf The point at infinity is not a number} and so we will not be able to consider the function (3.2) at the zero point $z = 0$, meanwhile, we can consider the value $1$ as in (3.3) at the zero point $z = 0$. How do we consider these situations?
In the famous standard textbook on Complex Analysis, L. V. Ahlfors (\cite{ahlfors}) introduced the point at infinity as a number and the Riemann sphere model as well known, however, our interpretation will be suitable as a number. We will not be able to accept the point at infinity as a number.
As a typical result, we can derive the surprising result: {\it At an isolated singular point of an analytic function, it takes a definite value }{\bf with a natural meaning.} As the important applications for this result, the extension formula of functions with analytic parameters may be obtained and singular integrals may be interpretated with the division by zero, naturally (\cite{msty}).
\bigskip
\section{Conclusion}
The division by zero $b/0=0$ is possible and the result is naturally determined, uniquely.
The result does not contradict with the present mathematics - however, in complex analysis, we need only to change a little presentation for the pole; not essentially, because we did not consider the division by zero, essentially.
The common understanding that the division by zero is impossible should be changed with many text books and mathematical science books. The definition of the fractions may be introduced by {\it the method of Michiwaki} in the elementary school, even.
Should we teach the beautiful fact, widely?:
For the elementary graph of the fundamental function
$$
y = f(x) = \frac{1}{x},
$$
$$
f(0) = 0.
$$
The result is applicable widely and will give a new understanding for the universe ({\bf Announcement 166}).
\medskip
If the division by zero $b/0=0$ is not introduced, then it seems that mathematics is incomplete in a sense, and by the intoduction of the division by zero, mathematics will become complete in a sense and perfectly beautiful.

{\bf Statement: }  The Institute of Reproducing Kernels declares that the division by zero was discovered as $0/0=1/0=z/0=0$ in a natural sense on 2014.2.2. The result shows a new basic idea on the universe and space since Aristotelēs (BC384 - BC322) and Euclid (BC 3 Century - ), and the division by zero is since Brahmagupta  (598 - 668 ?).
In particular,  Brahmagupta defined as $0/0=0$ in Brāhmasphuṭasiddhānta (628), however, our world history stated that his definition $0/0=0$ is wrong over 1300 years, but, we will see that his definition is suitable.
