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.

Or that Beatles’ song?

3 = Three-Phase Power
6 = Carbon's Atomic Number
9 = The number of times you can put Schroedinger's Cat in a box before it's guaranteed to be dead

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.

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?

After Tesla died, the US government sent John Trump to collect and analyze his papers.

John Trump was Donald's uncle and was an MIT professor and part of the team that developed radar.

3, 6, 9, those are my favorite symphonies by Beethoven.

Certainly Tesla was a genius, but the quoted majesty of mathematics precedes his existence.

He wore gloves and was afraid of germs.

Puddy would understand.

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.

“if you only knew the magnificence of the numbers 3, 6, and 9, then you would have a key to the universe."

I can understand the fascination with 3, but what's the big deal about 6 and 9? They're just multiples of 3.

some times whack jobs go a little overboard. being in construction however, 3 6 9 is indeed used almost daily. laying out most designs, a 3, 4, 5, - 6, 8, 10 - 9, 12, 15 are measurements to get perfect 90 degree angles...

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.
