The Imagineer's Chronicles: A theoretical blog
We have just begun a journey of intellect and imagination.
Just as Columbus did not know what he would find at the end of his voyage, we do not know what awaits us at the end of ours.
Many of the ideas and concepts outlined here will be modified because imagination is not reality. It will take the intellect and imagination of many to find and put all of the pieces of this puzzle together.
One person does not make a discovery: it is the result of a building of knowledge and understanding over the course of Humankind's existence.
Neil Armstrong was the first person to set foot on the moon. His voyage did not start on the lunch pad of Cape Kennedy. It began in the imagination of the first human to look at the moon and imagine what it would be like to set foot on it.
Imagination guides intellect and gives it the ability to discover reality.
If nobody had imagined traveling to the moon, no one would have tried to make the tools and devices required to make that journey a reality.
The ideas expressed in this paper allow us to imagine a universe different from the one that we are familiar with by bringing the "Shadows of another reality into clearer focus. Who knows where this imagination may take us.
By moving a piece of paper you can transport a two-dimensional creature "living" on its surface through three-dimensional space.
Just as our imagination guided our intellect to generate the tools and devices necessary to enable humankind to explore the moon it may guide us to generate the tools and devices necessary to transport humankind through four-dimensional space and allow us to explore a world limited only by our imagination.
“The
universe's most powerful enabling tool is
not knowledge or understanding
but
imagination"
