I read a short book about him about 30 years ago. All I remember what he was absolutely dead set against chewing gum. He believed that chewing gum caused the salivary glands to overwork so much that you would eventually get cancer.
the quartz crystal inside a watch needs energy to spark it to vibrate at a given frequency, thereby creating ‘the heartbeat’ to measure time.
the same is true for computers, hence the ‘Hz’ rating.
Clickbait.
First song I remember learning, (born in '58) only the verse was:
("3, 6, 9)... The goose drank wine, the monkey tripped and stumbled on the street car line,"
Rest is the same. Odd.
When racing pigeons are let out of their carry cases they fly in a circle three times before going in the direction they’re suppose to go in. Many animals will turn around three times before lying down. Then again Nikola Tesla thought static electricity might be aware.
Perhaps a clue or even an answer can be found in James Clerk Maxwell’s 200 quaternions, without which Tesla would have just been some obscure person. If anyone can find an original copy of Maxwell’s 1859 work.
For those that do not know, both Tesla and Einstein relied heavily on Maxwell.
Also a self taught mathematician who lived with his mommy, Oliver Heaviside threw out 196 of Maxwell’s quaternions (or field equations) because they were ‘abominations’. Of the remaining 4, Heaviside converted into vector equations. From those four converted equations, came everything we know about the electromagnetic spectrum, making possible the development of communications networks: television, radio, radar, the mobile telephone; introduced the system of thought experiments, later used by Einstein.
Some of the things Maxwell did: predicted what the rings of Saturn were made of and how they are stable; Maxwell unified the theories of electricity and magnetism; he also advanced Kinetic gas theory; took the first color photograph; developed ways to analyze stress in a structure; laid the foundations of cybernetics. There is no theory behind Maxwell’s equations: the equations are the theory.
Yet most people have never heard of him.
Tesla was an eccentric and a scientist. Some of the things he said was the scientist speaking and some were the eccentric.
Edison stole a lot from everyone during his time.
George Westinghouse and Nicola Tesla were very good friends. Tesla gave everything they had in common to Westinghouse when his company went broke in an attempt to assist him. Tesla never recovered from the loss, but later steadfastly refused to take anything from Westinghouse.
Thanks for the information
Oddly enough, Nicola Tesla and Mark Twain partied hard together.
I know JP Morgan bankrupt Tesla. Is there a connection between Edison and Morgan?
6 is a “perfect” number. It can be divided by 1, 2, and 3.
1 + 2 + 3 = 6.
The next one up is 28. 1+2+4+7+14 = 28.
I’m not sure about 9.
Yes. JP Morgan backed Edison the entire time. What was good for Edison was good for Morgan. Some believe there was collusion between the two to obliterate Tesla.
“Were he around today, N. Tesla would likely be diagnosed as on the spectrum with Aspergers Syndrome with OTC “
Which, ironically, is what Elon Musk of Tesla has.
Suppressed knowledge by globalists who existed long before Tesla's time.
