Quote:
The creativity progress has always been accepted as the source of all important work in the arts. But we should not think that creativity plays a role only in the arts. Scientific discoveries begin with imagining the world to look different from the way of ordering people to see it. And this is what creativity is all about imagining the world in an absolutely new way.


In the above bold parts, I have questions.

First, 'Scientific discoveries begin with imagining the world to look different from the way of ordering people to see it.' means 'Scientific discoveries begin with imagining the world being different from the way of ordering people to see it.' or 'Scientific discoveries begin with imagining the world which looks different from the way of ordering people to see it.'?

Second, 'this is what creativity is all about imaging the world in an absolutely new way.' means 'this is that creativity is to imagine the world in an absolutely new way.'?

Can you let me know the answer?

Thanks.

That's what it means, but I don't agree with the ideas expressed.
Also, the "creativity progress" should probably be written, "the creative process."

I can't get what you mean.
Can you answer me using 'the answer of question no.1 is that ....' and 'the answer of question no.2 is that ...' ?

Thanks.
