Humans are the supreme inhabitants of Planet Earth and have been dominating it for thousands of years. In the current era, humans have developed to such an extent in astronomy that they can observe celestial bodies that are millions of light-years away. However, we cannot travel to these places as we haven’t discovered the technology to travel such distances in our lifetimes. Therefore, we are limited in power and technology. But we have an ability that makes us superior over any other known organisms and that ability is imagination. Imagination has no boundaries and it can take us anywhere at any time. It is our imagination and curiosity that has brought us to this point in scientific development.

Moreover, imagination is the key with which many known scientists have unlocked the secrets of the universe. If Einstein hadn’t imagined riding a beam of light, he may have not published theories like the general relativity which lays a basis in astronomical discoveries and the forces that govern the universe. Hence, with imagination, we can simulate any scenario for reasons such as discovering something or imagining of something that one cannot afford to experience.

Einstein once said, "Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution."
Furthermore, another great scientist with exceptional imagination was Nikola Tesla who had developed the ability to visualize his work and this allowed him to save a great deal of time, money, and effort in building and testing his machines. Therefore, he discovered the secrets of the universe in terms of energy and frequency and is to this day, well known for his work like Einstein.
Even I sometimes imagine traveling to my favorite celestial bodies such as Pulsars, Nebulae, and Black Holes though I cannot go there physically. I can imagine falling into a Black Hole and experiencing what's within.
