I think that it means that no idea is original. It's all been done before in some form, at some point in human history. Maybe the idea has been lost, and then found again, or repackaged, but it's not new, and nothing ever will be.

Torn between two minds. Is either correct? Perhaps together.....but how? Can it be done?

Ideas aren't something that humans create. Ideas already exist, and humans are drawn to them. The more people that get behind an idea, the stronger it becomes.

I think it's as opposed to history being the story of great men, it is that ideas have their time and will naturally happen at given levels of development.

You made me think of Nas -
No idea's original, there's nothin new under the sun
It's never what you do, but how it's done
What you base your happiness around material, women, and large paper
That means you inferior, not major

Thanks ^_^

I might overintepret it? I kinda think the butterfly effect... and other crazy thoughts :P

Im a little bit confused, i think.
Is it like the story of heroes going in cycles? Because of the infinity of time, everything that has happened, will happen again?

The language barrier is probaby on my part, if i got it wrong. If i did, can you try again? =)

No.

Basically no one in history is irreplaceable. The idea is that if Newton didn't create physics someone else would or that if Gutenberg died as a child, someone else would have invented the printing press.

Basically an idea requires a certain level of social development, a certain level of technological development and the likes, and once those conditions are met someone will have the idea sooner or later.
