Your premise is, not to put too fine a point on it, hogwash.

Aliens from outer space? Time travel? A cure for cancer? Not possibly. Inevitably. Maybe not exactly the way you imagined it in every little detail, but close enough for government work.

Let's take the first one: I can imagine we are alone in the universe. I can also imagine we are not. Only one, not both, can be true. Likewise, if the latter is true, I can imagine that our first contact with aliens will be friendly; I can also imagine that it will be hostile. Again, since they cannot
both be true, I am imagining something which cannot exist (though I don't know which one).
And why is human imagination so privileged? If my cat imagines someone giving him all the cat food he could possibly eat, should it happen?
I can keep on dissecting that post (there are plenty of other points of failure). If you were trying to get hits on your blog, well, you succeeded with me ... once. But if you were trying to get hits from people who agreed with your premise, or even agreed that your premise was possible, you failed and failed badly.
