i.e. when I asked Einstein's famous question about what someone would see while riding on the front of a beam of light, it said something about "seeing beyond the surface/appearance" (my interpretation of hexagram 22) and "a unity, greatness, balance in working together" (for hexagram 11, in context of the question). I don't know how to interpret further, and besides, the answer just feels like a clue...

Sure but it's great for brainstorming answers to this very theoretical question. Einstein himself used his own imagination to try to answer his own questions, even ones that seemed "fuzzy or irrational", that started with imagining himself flying across space in a cardboard box (look it up, i don't remember the story.) I almost think if you're creative enough, you could make valid theories starting with something ridiculous like the I Ching.

I would be astounded if the I Ching could properly answer technical questions.
Like so many other unorthodox systems, the I Ching can be interpreted in so many ways as to render almost any question "answerable", but truly meaningful answers? Nah. The same can be said for the Prophesies of Nostradamus, or the Tarot, or astrology.
Here, try this for a test: "What is the best decontaminant for sulfur mustard contamination?" What does the I Ching have to say about that?

Books like the I Ching and the Bible help us understand our inner selves. They are not science textbooks.

Quite curiously, it has been my opinion that most questions could be answered with Wang Chung.
