Yes, Alex. Thank you so much. Your answer helped me a lot. I absolutely agree regarding the visual basis of poetry. As an amateur poet. I know how important visualization is to finding the most distant metaphors. Therefore, I stand for the effectiveness of visual thinking. Because many things, like current, gravity, chemical reactions, our brain is simply unable to understand. If you do not learn to find good associations for complex concepts, to be able to explain all this even to a small child. You will never become a true master in the field of science in which you are engaged.
No one will dispute. Andre-Marie Ampere was a genius. But, while he thought like an ordinary person, he was no smarter than any other person. His brain simply refused to operate on the abstract concept of electricity. While he, observing the water, did not guess to compare the charge of the current with the stream of the river. Then he went along the river and saw a dam that regulated its course. And just then it dawned on him that the dam is a resistor, and the river flow is like that. And the interaction of current with a resistor and water with a dam is not so different, as it might seem at first glance. Our brain loves when everything is laid out on shelves. Therefore, strong visualization is still a strong support for great scientific discoveries.
I am sure that the data on the finer points of your amazing memory will help me in further research.
Yours sincerely.
