I believe future science will prove everything in space and time is unified. As a result, everyone living now (or in our past) should be able to access knowledge from any place or century. This sounds mystical, and some people might explain the prophecies of Nostradamus this way. But my personal inclination is to think of it in terms of science. Will achievement of the Unified Field Theory/Theory of Everything make it possible that Newton and Einstein had precognition? Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein would have possessed a talent for obtaining information from the future. If they did, maybe they had that talent because they had great difficulty adjusting to life in the 17th century/early last century and were consequently far more interested in future centuries.
