Imagination is what made us Human

Whenever we dare to delve into the realms of *speculative* thought, however, no such restrictions to our ideas and imaginations apply. To the contrary, in our trying to comprehend the incomprehensible, imagination is as important as is knowledge -- if not more so, according to A. Einstein. Without creative imagination, in all likelihood, our species would still be squatting in caves picking nits and ticks from each other's pelts instead of embellishing the raw cave walls with works of art and thus moving on into the future. Indeed it was these cave paintings that set one of the milestones for human culture.

If there is any distinguishing trait that sets humans apart from all other species on the planet it is their powerful 'human imagination'.

Human Imagination (a mixture of powerful creative and learning imaginations) has allowed humans, in a relatively short period of time, (around 50 thousand years), to create thousands of cultures as well as millions of useful inventions and concepts, to discover and explore nature's secret worlds from the unbelievingly small microbe world to the astronomical world of black holes and galaxies. It has given mankind the power to discover many of nature's laws that guide everything in the universe. It has enabled mankind to travel to the moon, send robotic probes out to the edge of the solar system.
