Imagination was meant for physical purposes, otherwise it would be useless. It has evolved to imagine anything from what we know of, but it was also designed to test our ideas for the same reason. There is a large gap between curiosity and foolishness: if you try to fly out a cliff before testing it from a chair, you have a lot of imagination but a lack of prudence. Some crackpots lack that prudence, they make too big a step. Some like me proceed with small steps (plug), but it does not mean that they are right (plug again).
