More than a few science fiction stories, considered outlandish when written, are where future physical science ideas were born. The first science fiction story, the very first science fiction story, told about going to the moon appeared from the unseen in the mid 1600s.
It was written as an amusement by Cyrano de Bergerac and he was credited by Arthur C. Clarke for using the first idea for a ramjet engine. This is how the unknown unseen morphs into the recognizable seen.
Once existing still everything keeps changing. The jet into, very possibly in my view, into unlimited electro magnetic energy drawn from the mass of the planet itself. After that? Do not under estimate Scotty. Everyone's imagination is as wild as anyone else's. (See Today's Photo)
