Nikola Tesla (July 10, 1856 to January 7, 1943) was an engineer known for designing the alternating-current (AC) electric system, which is still the predominant electrical system used across the world today. He also created the "Tesla coil," which is still used in radio technology. Born in what is now Croatia, Tesla came to the United States in 1884 and briefly worked with Thomas Edison before the two parted ways.
Many people think he was nuts, but that is all by the power of large corporations. And I guess he was nuts enough for the FBI to raid and confiscate his office, so. Really, Tesla was a great final flowering of the Austrian Empire, before it eventually degraded into NAZI Supermanism, with the help of our banks, corporations, and ideas on race, eugenics, highways, etc. Here is one place in the USA, though, were Tesla is celebrated a little...

Since I am just too ill of brain to make a meaty post tonight, I will just download into your brain fun information which may also prepare your for my later brief discussion on the power of consciousness.
First of all, you might like to recall a recent post called, "The Shape of Consciousness."
Next, here is my TESLA TAG! This will give you a little bit about his ideas of harnessing energy from basically nothing, or something to that effect.
Finally, you may look up the concept of the ether, (or aether). And you may search, "ether Nikola Tesla". The idea is that Tesla believed in harnessing energy from something called, The Ether, even though the concept of (Plato's) ether was finally and formally deposed with the emergence of modern theoretical physics. That will be our point of discussion. And also this: Ether is probably not just an energy, but a dynamic of information - or - consciousness itself. So, if we ever harness it, and fly around in our own personal spaceships, then we will be lving a DREAM, in more ways than one. Huzzah.
