What's interesting about Tesla is that his visualization powess. He was gifted with insane capabilities of visualization. He said he would build assemble his inventions in his head, go to the lab to build it. And it would work on the first attempt.

That's similar to coming up with all the code in your head and passing the compiler and tests on the first try without any errors.

Crazy.

He was indeed gifted with insane sensitivity to his senses. However, he describes his visualization process as somewhat learned, like a brain exercise.

In the beginning, he described, images in his mind would be blurred but after "practice", they became much sharper.
