I think this is a guy that deserves a lot more attention; I'm hoping a lot of us on here will already know about him. He was arguably one of the greatest scientists and inventors of his entire generation, with an incredibly brilliant mind, every bit as brilliant as Einstein or Newton, and many, many years ahead of his time. This is a guy who brought us to where we are as a species in the 21st century....he brought us electricity, in the form of Alternating Current (AC), winning out over his arch nemesis, Thomas Edison, who was behind direct current (DC). Tesla's patents led to the first ever wireless communication, and so he also invented radio. He also invented or was behind the appearance and development of the induction motor, Hydro Electric Power, remote control, UV bulbs, early robotics and lasers, and his infamous Tesla coils. Bear in mind much of this was going on 100 years ago or more...

Any one of these would be a very valid contribution, and yet Tesla was responsible for these and many, many others. Despite this he died alone, penniless, at 86 in a New York Hotel room. He was also something of a mystic and some unique character traits. He was fluent in 6 languages, he wouldn't shake hands because he was obsessed with hygiene, and he couldn't stand the sight of pearl jewellery on women. He was also asexual and entirely devoted to his research.

An interesting symptom Nikola was affected with his entire life was flashes of light and visions, of which he had no control and gave him much anxiety. He was a visual thinker, and these visions would often show content of ideas he was working on at the time, he rarely made drawings, but could examine ideas and thoughts in his mind to the degree where he could often not tell what was real and tangible, and what was projected by his mind. Interestingly, I believe I experienced this incredible state of mind for just a few hours during my Iboga initiation, where I could 'see' my thoughts. And by see, I mean perceive them in perfect 3D holographic detail, and turn them with will alone, examining them from any angle. I can imagine such a state of mind would be an incredible advantage in the field of electrical engineering and many areas of science, although something of a curse to experience permanently.

This is an interesting 10 minute clip on his life and work:

This genious also developped the idea of free energy and maybe that's why he ended up without a penny.
Sad the current world bring down such brilliant character.
Maybe was he too ahead of his time ...

Ya, the man who was developing wireless electricity, if memory serves - imagine what a different place the world would be now without wires, with abundant energy all around!!

Yeah that was one of his big projects when he resided at Colorado Springs I think. I think some people are looking at his work in more detail...apparently modern science hasn't been able to replicate everything he achieved (although he did make some pretty far-out claims). While at Colorado Springs, apparently he managed to birth a thunderstorm, and produced the longest electrical spark produced by man...130 feet long!

Does anyone have thoughts on scalar mathematics? (without derailing this into a CT thread )

Tesla was a great man with a very old soul....Here is a link to a letter he wrote:

hmm thats really interesting because this guy (..Pleiadian..) Alaje

says we was an incarnated Venusian
