| 319257 | 2005-01-30 02:25:00 | I get it sometimes when I go to see 'clients'... people who I've never met and won't meet again, but when I get to their door I know what they look like and what they are going to say/do. Yep, it's spooky, just wish I could remember a bit earlier so I know what I'm going to be doing tomorrow :D |

| 319258 | 2005-01-30 02:51:00 | I'm totally confused and lost. Can you explain? If you have not experienced it then it is hard to grasp. Clear or deep perception of a situation is a definition. |

| 319260 | 2005-01-30 03:30:00 | With me it is usually, "Now why did'nt I think of that?" You have made a point there Cicero, genius's probably have a much greater incidence of insight than ordinary folk, I'm thinking of people like Einstein (some say it was his wife who was the genius), and Stephen Hawking. Then there were those giants of old like Archimedes, Newton, Faraday, Maxwell, Planck, Born, Heisenberg, head and shoulders above mere mortals. |

Fascinating stuff,one thinks of Runtgen,one insight and we have xrays. McCartney,woke up one night and wrote down,"Yesterday"he said it was just there,all he had to do was write it down. All the knowledge of the future is there,all we need is a little insight and we could tap it. |

| 319263 | 2005-01-30 05:06:00 | it will take a bit of time to think of some insight into some of the great minds mentioned, but the story of Archimedes is easy enough so we will start with him. He was in his bath tub one day in ancient Greece when he suddenly had this flash of light, an inspiration if you like, and he leapt from the tub and ran naked through the streets of Athens crying "Eureka".... And that as any electronics man or even electrician will know is how we came to have eureka resistance wire. |
