Poincaré, the French scientist had a similar idea which he explained in the "Science and hypothesis", but it's a millennia old concept.

I think Tesla and Ramanujan also said they got some insights directly from something possibly like this. Everything can come from there. Memories, and maths, and motor designs, and other things. It's pretty cool. I guess in some cases you could argue that there must be some sort of shared structure in the human brain that gives rise to these things maybe like an inbuilt mathematical intuition but in other cases of memories of other people or information about the future it's harder to make that case i think that it could already be in the brain. If only there were some really good science about this, but it's pretty hard i suppose. There could be tho i guess if people are willing to do it and fund it and get good results. If only there was some physical theory as well that somehow could begin to explain this or approach it, that would be really satisfying too I think... But maybe that's too much to hope for tho... Maybe we are pretty limited, maybe not tho, and even so things seem like miracles.
