I personally like to try for originality of concept/theme, so I was thinking- it
can be unbelievable- but can it have happened? Did anyone believe that we could
launch rockets into space, that we could build buildings hundreds of feet tall,
that we could create energy from matter, before any of these things were
invented?

Of course, we COULD always do the sort of Dali-esque thing that Phillipe
suggested.
