Escher
It occurred to me that Eschers drawings perfectly illustrate the problem with Theoretical and Conceptual thought and theory and indeed Math.
On paper both look fine - and they indeed are convincing - but try to put them into reality - or fit reality to them - then it becomes immediately obvious that they can only exist on paper (& indeed in the mind of the viewer)
Escher thus provided us with a perfect analogy. (Apologies for the use of the word perfect - but it sorta fits there) - for the difference between practical science (science of the real world) and impractical science (science of the imaginary world).
Not sure if this idea could ever have any material value (for a product or service) but haven`t exactly been overflowing with ideas myself - so thought I`d add it to the Stall.
