I've been saying this for years: science is far too conservative, dogmatic, and risk-averse. The reality is that genius minds are intellectually fearless. Newton was into alchemy and fringe theology. Edison tried to build a machine to contact the dead. Many of the great minds of the 60s who at least envisioned everything you're using now were into all kinds of "crazy" stuff: parapsychology, psychedelic consciousness expansion, shamanism, etc. Was some of that stuff silly? Sure. Was some or even most of it a dead end? Sure. But that's not the point. The point is that great minds fear no idea. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSolPNn0G7M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSolPNn0G7M
