BrainStorming has results which are not all creative solutions, rather it only increases the numbers of possible solutions. Linus Pauling's quote "The best way to get a new idea is to get a lot of ideas" trumps meditating in a cave for a year waing to dream up the physical shape of the molecule for heredity. The accredited co-discoverer of DNA James Watson said that it came from Kekule's dream of the benzene ring molecule as snakes eating their tails. Many believe that Pauling's being banned by the US Government from travelling outside the borders of the US (when he had plannen on attending an important DNA related conference in the UK), because of his Viet Nam anti-war protests shortly before the discovery of DNA, cost him a third Nobel Prize for the discovery of the DNA. Pauling's second Nobel Prize, the Nobel Peace Prize for was indeed for his Viet Nam anti-war work.
MORE IDEAS TO COME when you and I take time to post them.
