Question

Does imagination play a role in physics?

Answer 1

The best answer I can give is a simple yes.

Imagination is a strange, abstract concept. The definition of imagination is the faculty of forming mental images or concepts of what is not actually present in the physical senses.

Physics, at least theoretical physics, relies on the brain's ability to come up with ideas that have never been thought of before, and develop older concepts into newer, more accurate ones. The word concept here is very important, because it is the brain's ability to conceptualise is what drives physics forwards. From theoretical, where new ideas can further the field, to experimental, where a new or revised experimental technique can lead to new discoveries.

Answer 2
