I love that Einstein himself used storytelling to introduce the relativity of simultaneity and other very complex concepts to readers. There's a lot of lessons to be learned from the old man.
Visualising concepts is essential for certain topics in science, including all the ones Einstein worked on! Storytelling is a part of that, an extension of it. You can tell stories to others or to yourself to visualise things better. There's no difference, really!
Yes. It's impressive how he dedicated so much effort to make his theory accessible for others. Other scientists that were as brilliant as him or more (a.k.a Newton), weren't so good on this aspect.

A big part of it, I suspect, is that those were the same efforts he did to visualise and understand the concepts himself.
"As simple as possible, but no simpler."
That comes form someone who really cares whether other people get it.
Fascinating thoughts about stories and our brains. For an arena full of writers, this should stimulate a lot of ideas ... and stories.
Thanks Joyce. And in the field of technical writing, this is still relatively uncommon
Sounds like you're a bridge.
