Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.

The scientific method is a formalized way of using the thinking faculty to rigorously develop and to share new knowledge. Einstein drew heavily on consensus reality as we all necessarily do - that's the planetary mind which we inherit and co-create. Imagination is the creative aspect of intuition, which of course also draws from consensus reality. Einstein used both and being philosophically oriented, he did explain his methods of discovery.
Agreed! I would add only that, unfortunately, many who claim to be using the scientific method negate, dismiss, or even ridicule intuition, imagination, and anything else that doesn't fit into their already-established box.

Are you saying the stars can be seen? How do you know? What is your opinion about the moon landings? Are they real or a fabrication?
I have never heard this before, about the stars not being visible. That would explain the Apollo footage...unless of course it's just more, as you say, bullshit.
