You can "invent" (or perhaps a better word is discover) things totally by accident, without imagining them at all. Even if you imagine how something you want to invent should be, you're not actually making what you imagine. You make something as close as possible to it based on physical limitations and taking into account practical problems which need to be solved. So our concepts are not real, even if they represent real things, current or futuristic. They are just idealised versions of things which may or may not be real.

Stop imagining me naked! Concentrate for five minutes, for fuck's sake Tongue
