Wizards

 So, is it possible that there is a ocean of intelligence out there for us to tap into, a truly unlimited source, perhaps an intelligence network, pseudo-physic? Would explain the precision of the pyramids and other near impossible tasks, even with todays tech, if there were a global network, or there's the fringe sci world power net.

 Anyway, is it possible that wizards, be they Merlin, an Aztec priest, or Tesla, have just tapped into the state where you can freely make leaps and assumptions in areas where you have no knowledge {but can use when viewed it in your earned wisdom}, and area's where you do have knowledge you can innovate to unheard of levels. Innovate to levels unparalleled for their age, so they seem out of time, the limit comes with what's possible in their lifetime, Tesla couldn't have achieved microchips. The tools and technology weren't there yet,
 Just a floating thought, it seems to make some sense though

"It is really quite amazing by what margins competent but conservative scientists and engineers can miss the mark, when they start with the preconceived idea that what they are investigating is impossible. When this happens, the most well-informed men become blinded by their prejudices and are unable to see what lies directly ahead of them."
- Arthur C. Clarke, 1963
