> scientists share a zeitgeist and einstein and hilbert were working together. don't use terms you don't understand. simple as. i wasn't talking about einstein and hilbert in regards to synchronicity and you know it. yes, scientists share a zeitgeist but there are cases where there is no connection whatsoever and the discoverers come from completely different civilizations and cultures with no shared scientific literature. again, i'm not the only person who has theorized on synchronicity's relationship to multiple discoveries, and the very concept of the collective unconscious fits with it.   yet you are the same person, so it is not the same. not to mention i didn't say it was a "gotcha".   it's a sometimes enjoyable and funny practice, i don't think they actually mean anything beyond that. no need to be a killjoy.
