e.g. Giordano Bruno was 'ahead of his time' ... he recognized that the Earth was not the center of the universe...

Ahead of Your Time
Meaning: a person who is ahead of their time is someone who thinks outside of the norm. They think more like in the future and are innovative and creative. Most people think small but this person thinks big.
Many of those ahead of their time are great authors, artists, and inventors. They are always taking their thoughts and actions for the next level, a higher level.
Here are just a few in history who are good examples of
those that "were really ahead of their time":
Albert Einstein
Salvador Dali
Alexander Graham Bell
Jane Goodall
JFK
Dali Llama
Jesus
and many more. It is good to be labeled in this way as you tend to stand out with the most creative people of the world.
Instead of living and breathing just in the moment you expand your thoughts and ideas to the future.

Maybe the word 'precocious' would mean something like what you have in mind. If a person has mental abilities that make him think far in advance of contemporary thinking, he could be said to be ahead of his time. Such people do not have too many supporters as conventional thinkers wouldn't agree with them.

It means you are an advanced thinker.
You think beyond what society does, or you are very mature for your age.
