Remember the story of Archimedes lolling in his bathtub?
To an observer, he'd have seemed to be wasting time.
While ostensibly doing nothing, however, he discovered the principle of displacement, a cornerstone of physics.
Would he have reached the same insight in a quick shower?
From cnn's money magazine - I just like the graphics - and after help little m. study for the mcat, I finally understand the principal of displacement.
