An eccentric genius and a man in every respect extraordinary
was born 156 hundred years ago..
His name is Nikola Tesla.
He was born on the night of 9/10 of July, 1856 in the Croatian
village of Smiljan, a village near Gospic Lika, (the Krajina, a military
district of Austro-Hungarian Empire, now in the Republic of Croatia).
This event took place at the stroke of midnight" with
lightning striking during a summer storm. Because of the unusual moment of his
birth, the midwife commented that "He'll be a child of the storm," to
which his mother answered: "No, of light."
The great man is gone but... he will be remembered forever!
Those who knew him say he was not a normal human, but a
superman, either a reincarnated master - or even an ET with superior mental
powers placed here to assist in Earth's technological development!
Nikola Tesla could have gone down in history as the man who
invented the 20th century. Instead his theories were ridiculed and he died
alone in a hotel bedroom.
Mostly, he did not improve on already existing technology,
but created prototypes.
Many of his pioneer inventions he carried with him to his
grave. But he believed in the destiny of man who, in his words, “searches,
discovers and invents, designs and constructs, and covers with monuments of
beauty, grandeur and awe, the star of his birth.”(Velikovsky)
In 1899, he was at his laboratory in Colorado Springs,
driving monstrous surges of power into the Earth and also beaming energy
outward from the 280-foot tower he'd built. He had instruments to record
electromagnetic disturbances anywhere within a radius of 1,100 miles. It was an
experiment of Frankensteinian proportions.
During the tests, Tesla began picking up odd data on his
instruments. He was sure that this was a signal of some sort.
The signals came periodically, and with such a clear
suggestion of number and order that they were not traceable to any cause then
known to man.
"I was familiar... with such electrical disturbances as
are produced by the sun, Aurora Borealis and earth currents, and I was as sure
as I could be of any fact that these variations were due to none of these
causes…"
"The nature of my experiments precluded the possibility
of the changes being produced by atmospheric disturbances. . . . Although I
could not decipher their meaning, it was impossible for me to think of them as
having been entirely accidental . . . a purpose was behind these signals. . . .
They are the results of an attempt by some human beings, not of this world; to
speak to us by signals..."
"I am absolutely certain that they are not caused by
anything terrestrial..."
"The feeling is constantly growing on me that I had
been the first to hear the greeting of one planet to another."
In Collier's Weekly dated February 9, 1901, Tesla wrote in
"Talking with the Planets" as follows:
"I can readily demonstrate that, with an expenditure
not exceeding two thousand horse-power, signals can be transmitted to a planet
such as Mars with as much exactness and certitude as we now send messages by
wire from New York to Philadelphia. These means are the result of
long-continued experiment and gradual improvement..."
He claimed he had detected an artificial signal from Mars,
or possibly Venus, using high-voltage equipment he had set up at Colorado
Springs, Colorado. He also predicted that interplanetary communication would
"become the dominating idea of the century that has just begun."
After informing the world of these signals, he would neither
discuss the devices he used nor the signals any further. However, the issue was
further researched, according to a report entitled "A Historic Report on
Life in Space: Tesla, Marconi, Todd." mentioned by Stanton T. Friedman, a
nuclear physicist and the best-known scientific ufologist in North America and
probably the world, in his book Captured!: The Betty and Barney Hill UFO
Experience".
The purpose of the paper was to examine the original data of
Tesla, Marconi and Todd to determine whether or not current science was
duplicating the effort made by these men to detect radio frequency
communication from extraterrestrial life forms on some distant planet.
"Communication once established, even in the simplest
way, as by a mere interchange of numbers, the progress toward more intelligible
communication would be rapid.
Absolute certitude as to the receipt and interchange of
messages would be reached as soon as we could respond with the number
"four," say, in reply to the signal "one, two, three."
"The Martians, or the inhabitants of whatever planet
had signalled to us, would understand at once that we had caught their message
across the gulf of space and had sent back a response. To convey a knowledge of
form by such means is, while very difficult, not impossible, and I have already
found a way of doing it.
"What a tremendous stir this would make in the world!
How soon will it come? For that it will some time be accomplished must be clear
to every thoughtful being.
Something, at least, science has gained. But I hope that it
will also be demonstrated soon that in my experiments in the West I was not
merely beholding a vision, but had caught sight of a great and profound
truth..."
Did Tesla's experiments transmit radio signals to some of
our nearer planets?
According to Su-Shu-Huang of the Institute for Advanced
Study at Princeton, stars nearly identical to the sun are most likely to have
developed life," Stanton Friedman writes in his book. Had Tesla
unintentionally detected signals from another civilization or did he simple
make an error...? Probably, we'll never know. Because of his financial
problems, (he was not a good businessman, but a true scientist) the large part
of his research notes and other papers were auctioned off after his death. What
happened to his other research papers? How much of Tesla’s work remains hidden
and confiscated?
It's unknown and thus, much of his scientific work of great
value has been lost for ever.
A great mystery still surrounds him and his genius work! He
will never be forgotten!
