even though gedanken experiments sound redundant, einstein was an expert on these... has any of you ever thought of what would require to design one? like...sort of guidelines of gedanken experiments for dummies?
have you ever tried to explain something by mean of a though experiments? thanks

good questions... not sure though. I think it would have to offer some very abstract and generalized steps...tacit ones too. Not sure.
