Earlier in his career, while conducting research with one of his transformer coils, Nikola Tesla had a near-death experience, when he came in contact with a resonating electromagnetic charge of three and a half million volts. Tesla was working with 60 foot lightning bolts and made a mistake and he almost got electrocuted and he couldn't get out, and he had to get one of his workers to stop the lightning from happening and he barely escaped with his life, and because of the shock that he had, he had a revelation.

Tesla said that he entered a state of timelessness and he could see the past, and the future and the present, all at once, mystic visions but he was paralyzed and he couldn't do anything about it. As Tesla was being electrocuted and right then his assistant cut the power to him, but what Tesla said it had done was moved him through time and space.
