Gedanken Definition

/g*-dahn'kn/
"Gedanken" is a German word for "thought". A thought experiment is one you carry out in your head. In physics, the term "gedanken experiment" is used to refer to an experiment that is impractical to carry out, but useful to consider because it can be reasoned about theoretically. It was a favorite method of renowned physicist Albert Einstein.
