But if we took ourselves back to times previous to the actual creation of these machines, what we have are beautiful drawings of fantastical and experimental ideas; the wild imaginations of scientific possibilities put to paper by the masterful hand of a great artist. Whether or not these objects were ever realized, it is the artistic application of his sense of wonder and the depth of his curiosity that we continue to be awed by.
