The best science has always come from those wild ideas

So have the most profound advances in both knowledge and understanding

I’m sure everyone can imagine - as a consequence of the results coming back from experiments of electromagnetism - the ridiculous idea that space and time appear to be flexible.

If it were not for the insight of Max Planck, Einstein's "On the electrodynamics of moving bodies" may have spent years in the 'Too Hard Basket'., or worse, thrown out entirely. Einstein always praised Planck for this.

That space and time may bend merely to the whim of light is a notion of absurdity I say!!!
