It could be that fantasy leads the human mind to pursue scientific aims which were considered just hypothetical until not too long ago. Indeed, Science and Technology had recently a fast development assuring new perspectives to reality, finding new physical laws, unveiling the complexity of the physical world. The role of fantasy in the process of knowledge is now under investigation by psychologists, philosophers and scientists. This matter is thoroughly studied in this book.
