A secondary phenomenon is knowing something that we did not acquire through knowledge or research.

The Russian chemist Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev (Dmitry Mendeleyev 1834-1907) had a secondary phenomenon. "In one moment - I know." Mendeleyev developed The Periodic Law based on a vision in a dream. In his dream, he saw elements arranged according to their chemical properties and atomic weight. Dmitry did not see all the elements in his vision. Dmitry Mendeleyev documented the elements that he saw in his Periodic Tableand published it with gaps for elements that were not known at the time. The gaps where filled in years later as they were discovered by other scientist.
