Some of the biggest scientists of our time - like Albert Einstein - were defined by their successes as much as their failures. Carlo Rovelli explains why.

00:00 I think a good scientist is a person who changes his mind often.
00:07 If we look back at Einstein, you see, why was he spectacular?
00:12 And then you realize one thing, he's one of the scientists who did the largest number
00:15 of mistakes than everybody else.
00:17 He has written a number of wrong papers and said a number of wrong things, more than anybody
00:24 else.
00:25 So you say, why?
00:26 I mean, he was smarter.
00:27 He was clearly more intuitive.
00:29 Why did he make all mistakes?
00:31 Because he was trying.
00:32 Trying this, trying this, trying this.
00:33 And every time it was not working well, he would just abandon it, go somewhere else.
00:38 The people who are really convinced of something and stubborn continue are not smart ones,
00:44 they're stupid ones.
00:46 I think the intelligent people are those who believe something and then they change their
00:49 mind.
