“We all agree that your theory is crazy. The question that divides us is whether it is crazy enough to have a chance of being correct”

Niels Bohr

Simplified Meaning:

Sometimes, new ideas can seem really strange or weird, but that doesn't mean they are wrong. When someone presents a unique or unusual idea, everyone might think it's crazy. However, the more important thing to consider is whether this crazy idea could actually be true, even if it seems unlikely. For example, consider the inventions of the airplane. At first, people thought the idea of humans flying was crazy. But it turned out to be possible, and now flying is a regular part of life. So, if you are working on something new and people call it crazy, ask yourself if it's the kind of crazy that might just work. Don't dismiss an idea only because it's unusual; sometimes, those are the ideas that change the world. Stay open-minded, because the wildest ideas could sometimes be the right ones.
