Feb 10 2013: No I don't think that is an accurate statement, Science has rigorous procedures to come to an specific result , imagination is unrestricted by this procedures but imagination is not concern with any particular outcome. In my opinion we should not state that science is a subset of imagination it is not a subset of imagination, it is not contained inside imagination, ( all elements of science are not present in imagination) . The most significant contribution of this statement is that it serves as a reminder of who does the heavy lifting behind the inventions and discoveries that we attribute to science.
