Tesla had his obsessions and did display what is perhaps ritualistic behavior. At one point during his life, Tesla said that “if you only knew the magnificence of the numbers 3, 6, and 9, then you would have a key to the universe. What exactly he meant by this remains an enigma. Still, many of his followers and historians believe it had great significance, not only for Tesla but for the future of mankind.
Tesla, for example, would walk around a block exactly THREE times before he decided to walk into a building. He wore gloves and was afraid of germs. He would wash his dishes with exactly 18 napkins since this number is divisible by the numbers 9, 6, and 3.
There is no doubt that the inventor was greatly obsessed, among other things, with numbers. For example, by doubling the number 1 and 2, we create a pattern of numbers that excludes the numbers Tesla said were so important. A scientist called Marko Rodin thought that Tesla’s 3, 6, and 9, therefore, represent a “flux field vector” representing the pathway from the third to the fourth dimensions.
But there is perhaps a kind of ritualistic meaning in the numbers Tesla gave so much importance to. For example, the number three appears very often throughout human history and even in the most basic forms of geometry: pyramids.
It is almost as if everything in Telsa’s mind revolved around the number three. In fact, on various occasions did, Telsa speak of the so-called trifecta of “energy, frequency, and vibration.” These three aspects were key to Telsa, and he was very much convinced that energy, frequency, and vibration help the secrets of the universe itself.

The goose drank wine, the monkey chewed tobacco on the street car line, the line broke, the monkey got choked and they all went to heaven in a little row boat, clap clap.
Father, Son and Holy Spirit??
Or perhaps it is all the cool math that one can do with the number 9.

I don’t have a mind or adequate tolerance of numbers to discuss the article at this time, but I’ve always been fascinated with Tesla the man. I’ve always heard that most of his theories were taken or stolen by Westinghouse Appliances or Thomas Edison. Were he around today, N. Tesla would likely be diagnosed as on the spectrum with Aspergers Syndrome with OTC affectations. Some of the medicines he would receive for those conditions just might block the spark of creativity and the joy of experimentation that defined him.
I agree. Well said.
3 must not have been just SO special. Nick died in the end.
I wonder what Tesla would have thought of today the liberals 2+2=5 common core math?
I rememeber that hit song ‘The Name Game’. Lyndon Johnson was president.
What a time waster it would be so OCD as he

Well he did die in 194”3”.
3, 6, 9, those are my favorite symphonies by Beethoven.
Certainly Tesla was a genius, but the quoted majesty of mathematics precedes his existence.
Tesla was a genius and yes, they stole all his ideas.
A man WAY before his time.
2,4,6,8
Who do we appreciate?
3,6 & 9!
He wore gloves and was afraid of germs.
Puddy would understand.
