Bonus question: What is an invention that was really important and there is no telling how long we would have to wait for it to appear had it not been discovered by the one credited with it?

Someone shared an article with me once that explained quite a few inventions were actually developed around the same time in different areas, sometimes across the globe. I have to get to work now so I can’t try to find it just yet, but if I remember I’ll go in search of it when I have a chance. It was an interesting read pointing to a collective consciousness/knowledge base.
It’s called Multiple discovery. And there’s really no need for collective conciousness. People working with the same information will simply figure out the same solutions to the eqations.
Kinda reminds me of the 100 monkey theory
