83、 the intuitive leap as a basic tool. “I believe in intuition and inspiration,” he wrote in 1931. “At times I feel certain I am right while not knowing the reason.” Although Einsteins five papers were published in a single year, he had been thinking about physics, deeply, since childhood. “Science wa
