Invention is the solution of a problem that has never been solved before.

Albert Einstein said:

“You cannot solve a problem with the same mind that created it!”

I believe Einstein is referring to the art of receiving ideas. Everyone who tried, knows that ideas is not something that is created on demand like when we phrame the problem and when we phrame the existing knowledge around it.

We need to manipulate our mind by letting it into a phrame that allows it to receive the ideas that is needed to solve the problem.
