Isaacson wants to use the centennial to celebrate daydreaming, as he says in a recent op-ed in The New York Times.
Einstein concocted the theory not by recasting formulas, but by daydreaming about light beams and billiard balls.
Isaacson argues we should goad kids to accomplish more than memory-work. "We should stimulate their minds’ eyes as well."
"Everything of value in our world started at some point with an idle daydream," writes marketer Mark Schaefer in Born to Blog. "Dreaming helps us connect the dots. Dreaming is mandatory for seeing the world as it should be, rather than how it is."
Take a few minutes today, grab a coffee or chocolate bar, and celebrate Einstein's General Theory of Relativity.
But, please, don't interrupt your daydream.
