Where Do We Go Next?
The formulation of a
problem is often more
essential than its
solution, which may
be merely a matter of
mathematical or
experimental skill. To
raise new questions,
new possibilities, to
regard old questions
from a new angle,
requires creative
imagination and
marks real advance in
science. Einstein (1938)
