The task is...not so much to see what no one has yet seen; but to think what nobody has yet thought, about that...

    Nice idea, though is it really possible? Our individual thoughts and feelings may not be truly unique, but the combination of these can be, as long as we move ourselves forwards to learn and adapt from our and other peoples experiences. Many follow the crowd, which may be comforting but not really living

    If a person was in a void, with no vision, hearing, taste, touch or smell and all there remained was thoughts and memories, could new thoughts and ideas form easily or despair/madness be the result? Life is interesting because other people are in it

    Well, I find Archimedes' principle or Einstein's E=mc^2 illustrate the idea. In both cases, arguably, two most salient elements of experience that experts distinguished, get equated. It's obvious in the case of the E=mc^2, and in the case of Archimedes', the principle asserts an homology between the two most contrasting situations of goods as known by the merchant-sailors of Syracuse: as they are weighted on the point of sale, and as they are floated on the sea with a ship.

    Yes ,Einstines theory's of relativity have not yet been exploited. Wind and currents invisable. That are capable of replacing nuclear, oil , and coal is obvious. Inventions like mine prevented by the greed of a few. Rockafellas.

    Einestien knew greed and nucleation would lead to mankind's demise.
    Spending the last of his days working on equal & opposite reactions in his unrealised attempt to replace nuclear energy with natural safe Energy's.
    The select elect owe there positions too the unsafe power providers
