"Imagination is more important than knowledge." How to understand this sentence that Einstein said?

Knowledge is a summary of the past, and it is an understanding, understanding, existence and inherent of reality. Imagination can create infinite possibilities, break through, break the inherent mode, break the inertia thinking and expand new knowledge. First, there is a wish, a desperate determination to achieve it, even if it goes against common sense, uses knowledge, and even goes against inherent knowledge to achieve it.

There is infinite knowledge, but no desire. That kind of knowledge is dead, there is no application, and no new knowledge will be produced. The ancients did not have the principle of flying, but only the desire to fly like a bird, so we went to heaven, so there was aerodynamics. So they said, "Imagination is more important than knowledge."

Extended data:

Einstein said many profound words, but this sentence is the most impressive-"Imagination is more important than knowledge, because knowledge is limited, and imagination summarizes everything in the world, promotes social progress and is the source of knowledge evolution."

For example. Learning is like Gai Lou with bricks, and each brick is like a knowledge point. And imagination is like cement that binds bricks together. The more you can understand the logic between knowledge, the more you can increase the application of knowledge through imagination.

Not that knowledge is useless. Many new discoveries must be based on existing knowledge. However, imagination can break the shackles of existing ideas to some extent. Just as no one dared to think that humans could go to Mars before.

In my opinion, the world of the next generation of children is even more unimaginable, and they will even immigrate to Mars. The power of technology and commerce will accelerate the progress of human knowledge. Including cancer, may soon be conquered, and even human beings have a chance to live forever.
