The Trade That Crashed the Party

[analyst75]

In 1951, two comics named Dennis the Menace launched.

 

One in the U.S. and another in the U.K.

 

Both starred a slingshot-wielding troublemaker. Same name, same character, same month.

 

Weird thing is…

 

There was zero communication between the two creators.

 

They lived in different countries, worked in different media, and published within days of each other, completely independently.

 

This is a textbook case of simultaneous discovery:

 

When the same idea pops up in different minds, in different places, at the same time—without collaboration.

 

It happens more than you might think.

 

For example:

 

In 1869, Dmitri Mendeleev said the periodic table came to him in a dream. That same year, Julius Lothar Meyer published nearly the same table—independently, in another country.

 

In 1876, Alexander Graham Bell and Elisha Gray filed for the telephone on the exact same day, despite working on it independently and with no contact. (Bell got there first by just a few hours… the rest is history.)

 

In the 1930s, Frank Whittle and Hans von Ohain built the jet engine—separately, without contact, in different countries. Both machines took flight within a decade.

 

The same happened with the discoveries of oxygen and calculus. With photography. With sunspots. With Neptune.

 

Different people. Different places. Same idea. Same time.

 

And, in 2025, it just happened again…

 

Not in a lab. Not in a university.
