Well, human beings were most definitely imagining powered flight much earlier than 1860.
But to the point, I think that is just it, though: there are physical limits that are simply impossible to overcome. In a sense, imagining travel even approaching light speed is not much different than imagining the supernatural.

For the record I think even travelling at 99% C is likely impossible for anything that we can conceive of.

What is this.
