Henri Poincaré
Henri Poincaré (1854-1912) made diversified contributions in many fields of resonance and relevance today including chaos theory, graphical solutions of differential equations, special relativity, topology, astronomy, probability theory. He made discoveries by ignoring detail and pretending that he was mountaineering, going form one peak to another. "logic limits ideas": he believed in the subconscious solving problems. he worked 2 hours in the morning and 2 hours in late afternoon every day. he went from onw peak to another and while mountaineering, the facts he discovered clustering around the center of the mountains were instantly and automatically pigeonholed in his memory. he visualized everything and his creative habits were similar to the great 19th century musicians like Beethoven, Brahms.
