Nikola Tesla

Nikola Tesla (July 9, 1856 – January 7, 1943) was a Serbian-American electrical engineer, inventor and physicist who contributed to many of the developments in the field of electricity. "It’s generally agreed that Tesla was an earlier inventor of radio than Guglielmo Marconi, who won the patent and a Nobel Prize."^[1]

He pioneered the eventual adaptation of alternating current, which is more efficient than direct current.

The SI unit measuring magnetic flux density or magnetic induction (commonly known as the magnetic field), is named the tesla, in his honor (see induction motor).

He was Thomas Edison's main rival at the end of the 19th century, even surpassing him in fame in the 1890s.

Despite the international fame he received as a result of his work involving alternating current, he died relatively penniless in a New York hotel room.

Tesla criticized the Theory of Relativity.^[2]

Quotes[edit]

• The gift of mental power comes from God, Divine Being, and if we concentrate our minds on that truth, we become in tune with this great power. My Mother had taught me to seek all truth in the Bible; therefore I devoted the next few months to the study of this work.^[3]
• I made a further careful study of the Bible, and discovered the key in Revelation.^[4]
• You may live to see man-made horrors beyond your comprehension.^[5]

A Machine to End War[edit]

The liberal Wikipedia® quotes the 1937 interview "A Machine to End War" made by a German-American pro-Nazi propagandist George Sylvester Viereck where then 80 years old Tesla is supposedly promoting eugenics and other anti-Christian and radical views inherent to political agenda of Nazis.^[6] This controversial allusions should be treated with extreme care as they are neither based on Tesla's own handwriting nor supported with audiorecords (cf. "by Nikola Tesla as told to George Sylvester Viereck"). The problems with 1:1 actual quotations of sources is one of the gnostic traits that Nazism was demonstrably marked with.^{[note 1]}

Notes[edit]

1. ↑ Similarly weird case that smacks of adopting the same manipulative method was a 2012 interview with a then already retired Columbia University psychiatrist Robert L. Spitzer suffering from Parkinson's disease by proponents of gender ideology. Spitzer, at that time one week before turning 80, allegedly had spared to that very moment of interview the important claim about recanting his earlier papers (cf. "Now here he was at his computer, ready to recant a study he had done himself") declaring the possibility, with the help of the reparative therapy, to forsake the homosexual lifestyle for people who are strongly motivated to change. The article with interview is supporting views of radicalist Wayne Besen and political agenda of so called "gay support groups."^[7][8]

At this time I made a further careful study of the Bible, and discovered the key in Revelation.”
