Hello friends,
There are people out there with theories or ideas, that there is no such thing as a new idea or new invention. But rather these "ideas" float in the air so to speak along with all information, just floating about in time and space waiting for someone to reach that right state of mind. That state where for just a moment a door is opened. That moment when our conscious and subconscious minds connect with the mind's eye and a small bit of information leaks in. The moment when something we would have never thought of, just pops up. Take Edison for instance. This man slept for a mere 2-3 hours a night on average. Then, throughout the day he'd take little cat naps. He would doze off while holding ball bearings in each hand so that as soon as he fell asleep the ball bearings would drop and wake him so he'd remember what had come in his dreams. There are people who would say it takes more time to go into a dream state, that it wouldn't have worked. But, what it comes down to is that Edison deprived himself of REM sleep to the extent that, REM sleep forced itself on him almost instantly upon falling asleep. I'm not sure if this is really an on-topic post here, but i'm assuming it is since its about Time and Space basically.
