How do students come up with an idea before a professor thats been studying the same

how do students come up with an idea before a professor thats been studying the same subject for like 25 years? For example at harvard? 🤔

Agreed. Students tend to have really good ideas these days as well, especially with emerging technologies.
Everbody is different and has a different train of thought.
Studying a subject does not necessarily mean you are innovative, it just means you know a lot about the existing contents within the subject.
Most professors do not practice the field in which they have an expertise. They understand the theories when explained to them but are not actively seeking new things to further their field.

Take Psychology for an example. My psychology professor used to do clinical work as a therapist but for the last 8 to 10 years has been teaching psychology.  Psychologists conduct and experiment with new studies or Hypothesis everyday, however it is not the professor's duty to research and collect data on their field of study.

With everyone having different thoughts, more and more new ideas emerge.

I think sometimes it helps to know less about a certain subject. It gives you more freedom of though and ideas that you might have not come up with if you were constrained by knowledge in the certain field.
Lovely.
Professors don't know the answers to everything in life.
Newer minds better ideas. I mean just look@ history
