[/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.[/quote]

The bold 'this is what creativity is all about imagining the world in an absolutely new way.' is correct?
If so, what does it mean?

Thanks.

It is missing some punctuation. It should be:

"And this is what creativity is all about--imagining the world in an absolutely new way."

Or, "And this is what creativity is all about, imagining the world in an absolutely new way."

It means that creativity involves / is defined by / requires imagining the world in a new way. Creativity is not restricted to art and artists, but is part and parcel of the world of science -- and for that matter, the worlds of business, politics, religion, etc.
