well yes exactly .. in that realm of the unknown, our imaginations can run riot

it wasn't that long ago that there were still dark corners of the earth - well, more like vast tracts of unexplored terrain - in the Amazon, deep in mountain ranges, or in icy tundra.

There dragons did roam, whilst flying demons did dart overhead, their ungodly shrieks turning the hearts of the bravest men to jello.

There are no secrets on the earth any more, so we have to look elsewhere to satisfy our lust for meaning and importance.
