Think another way. If you're born blind, can you see colors in your mind? Can you invent another color? Now, can you imagine something that you have never seen? I'm not talking about the fact that you can see a bridge from a side and that you can visualize the rest from your mind. But actually invent something litteraly out of this world?
We are trying to explain the universe with words and images that we all know, and that's why there are such "problems" in quantum mechanics, dark matter and black holes. All of these is a big generalisation of a much more complex world.
Back in time. When it was raining, everyone said it was God, Zeus, Budda, or whatever I'm not a big religion fan. But every civilization had an explanation, very innacurate but it did the job to "understand" it.
No, I've never seen that, I've never seen anyone drive their garbage out to the curb and bang the hell out of it with a stick. No, I've never seen that.
