HI Mel!,
 
Please allow me to politely disagree,,,,,,
<<That's an interesting comment because Math is the engine that powers the
imagination.>>
allow me to differ,,,. Math is a "Tool" used by the mind of man,
[example; man can build a building[ie,,a structure],  The scientific-tool of math 
lets him know how-tall,wide,strong,etc.,, to build the building!].
Mans "Mind, of which the "Imagination" is part of his psychie, 
IMAGINES the shape of the building!, and uses the tool's of his "Present
Technology" [math beeing a tool'of the mind], along with  "Tools of
material nature" ie,,steel,wood, etc,, to bring his "Imagined building into
a Reality!!". "Imagination" and "faith" if you will, to which every-man has 
been given a "Measure", Gives him the "Tools of the mind" to advance
past the Lower-forms of life to become >>"ACreative Beeing"
Thats why the "Tool of Math" is more advanced TODAY!, than
it was in the 14th century.
 
<<Imagination doesn't float down from the sky>>
of course-not, I agree!, but "Math"[a tool], doesn't spark
Imagination!, That's the whole point Einstein was trying to convey!,
He had "Math-knowledge!", but he realized it was Only a "Tool"!,
and he realized to better"Understand his "mathematical-concepts"
he wished for more "Imagination",, because he knew his "Stubbornness
of his analytical-mind" [some people call-it a "one-track-mind", as a pun]
was keeping him from->"seeing the trees, because of the forest"
 
<< - it comes from
deep understanding of nature's framework which is best described
mathematically.>>
That's  Like comparing Apples to Oranges,,
The Scientific-tool of Math,,
has Nothing, whatsoever to do with Imagination!,,
Imagination is a "Measure of Creativity",
Math doesn't describe Nature,, it Measures it!
 
THNX mel, for allowing me to disagree, in a friendly and humble way,
Please take it as such, for I value your opinion and friendship!

That's an interesting comment because Math is the engine that powers the
imagination.  Imagination doesn't float down from the sky - it comes from
deep understanding of nature's framework which is best described
mathematically.
