In this episode
A definition and a hard look at the episode's theme, plus 3 of Eli's aphorisms, Einstein and Bohr from great minds, a "What If?" to ponder.
Eli’s Aphorisms
“Generally speaking, you aren't learning much when your lips are moving.”
“Very few people ever got into trouble by listening too much.”
“You can easily identify the people who don't know what they're talking about. They're usually the ones who insist they do.”
From Great Minds
“Imagination is more important than knowledge.” — Einstein
“No, no, no. You're not thinking. You're just being logical.” — Bohr
What If?
If I rode the first wave of a beam of light holding a mirror, would I be invisible in it?
