Mathematics and the Imagination : Review

The purpose of Science is to get you back to your imagination. Science and Imagination are names of two directions that the inquisitiveness in us takes. Some are more prone to imagination or art or abstract and other are more prone to Science or experiments or observations.
At the peak of Science is imagination. Science is knowing and observing. Knowing has its limits and as knowledge grows, unknown grows with it. Many scholars, who are at the peak of their sciences, are heard saying, the more you know, the more you don't know.
For example three dimensions is easy to comprehend and understand. but Mathematics talks about and studies, four dimensions, five dimensions and so on. Understanding higher dimensions is possible only with imagination. so imagination is required for the progress of mathematics.
