Sorry; still not gettin' it

So; explain to me what made the greatest minds in human history; Plato Newton Immanuel Pauli Penrose Assimov Einstein?

Did they stick their head in an oscillator?

Human endeavor; pushing the envelope; thinking outside the box; risking ridicule like Darryl Reanney; a pioneer

THAT to me what's it all about; reaching for the stars metaphorically; NOT through astral projection

I don't wanna "feel" good:; I want to feel; period
