Nikola Tesla And His Dynamic Theory Of Gravity
The hate for Einstein and his theory, to the magic of swirling aether.
At the age of 81, Tesla claimed to have finalized a dynamic theory of gravity, commenting that he “analyzed all the details” and that he hoped to present it to the world as soon as possible. At the time of this announcement, scientific institutions considered him insane; most believed that Tesla had never even developed the unified field theory. The bulk of this theory was developed between 1892 and 1894, when he was conducting high-frequency, high-potential electromagnetic experiments and was patenting numerous devices for using these large energy sources. The theory was completed, according to the scientist, by the end of the 1930s. These are the only informations available on the theory, the rest was plundered by the FBI short after his death in his apartmente in New York on the 7th of January 1943.
Man’s Greatest Achievement — by Nikola Tesla — New York American — July 6, 1930:
“The primary substance, thrown into infinitesimal whirls of prodigious velocity, becomes gross matter; the force subsiding, the motion ceases and matter disappears, reverting to the primary substance”.
Mr. Tesla’s vision: How the Electrician’s Lamp of Aladdin May Construct New Worlds — by Nikola Tesla — New York Times — April 21, 1908:
“According to an adopted theory, every ponderable atom is differentiated from a tenuous (fragile, vague) fluid, filling all space merely by spinning motion, as a whirl of water in a calm lake. By being set in movement this fluid, the ether, becomes gross matter. Its movement arrested (halted), the primary substance reverts to its normal state. It appears, then, possible for man through harnessed energy of the medium and suitable agencies for starting and stopping ether whirls to cause matter to form and disappear. At his command, almost without effort on his part, old worlds would vanish and new ones would spring into being. He could alter the size of this planet, control its seasons, adjust its distance from the sun, guide it on its eternal journey along any path he might choose, through the depths of the universe. He could make planets collide and produce his suns and stars, his heat and light; he could originate life in all its infinite forms. To cause at will the birth and death of matter would be man’s grandest deed, which would give him the mastery of physical creation, make him fulfill his ultimate destiny.”
So, basically the common matter is nothing but densified aether, the all pervading substance, like ice is solidified water. The difference is that matter is created by swirling vortexes of aether. On the other way, Tesla didn’t like very much Einstein and his Theory of General Relativity:
“… The theory of relativity, in any case, is older than its current supporters. It was advanced over 200 years ago by my illustrious compatriot Roger Joseph Boscovich, the great philosopher, who, not enduring other and more varied occupations, wrote a thousand volumes of excellent literature on a wide variety of subjects. Boscovich dealt with relativity, including the so-called “space-time continuum”…“.
Tesla was therefore critical of Einstein’s relativity:
“… [Has] a magnificent mathematical habit that fascinates, dazzles and makes people blind to the errors contained therein. The theory is like a beggar dressed in purple that ignorant people take for a king, its exponents are brilliant men, but they are metaphysical rather than physical”.
The scientist further stated that:
«I continue to believe that space cannot be curved, for the simple fact that it cannot have properties. It would be like saying that God has properties. He has only attributes of our own invention. We can speak of property only for the matter that fills the space. To say that space becomes curved in the presence of enormous bodies is equivalent to saying that something can act on nothing. I refuse to subscribe to such a view“.
It makes perfect sense, how can empty space act on something? It’s strange because Einstein despised the aether, saying that space is empty, but turned out that space-time is something, it has some consistency and substance in order to interact with matter and to be influenced by it. So, at the end of the day, why Einstein is considered a genius by history and Tesla is known only by the name Elon Musk used for his company? I think it’s bad luck, because he died right before he was ready to publish his theory of dynamic gravity. I think the causes of his death are pretty peculiar, that’s why I want to illustrate them: in the fall of 1937 at the age of 81, after midnight, Tesla left the Hotel New Yorker to make his regular commute to the cathedral and library to feed the pigeons. While crossing a street a couple of blocks from the hotel, Tesla was knocked off by a taxicab and was thrown to the ground. His back was severely wrenched and three of his ribs were broken in the accident. The full extent of his injuries was never known; Tesla refused to consult a doctor, an almost lifelong custom, and never fully recovered. On 7 January 1943, at the age of 86, Tesla died alone in Room 3327 of the Hotel New Yorker. Two days later the Federal Bureau of Investigation ordered the Alien Property Custodian to seize Tesla’s belongings. At the time of his death, the inventor was continuing to work on the teleforce, a project he had unsuccessfully proposed to the US War Department; it appears that the proposed ray — which the press had dubbed the “peace ray” or “death ray” — had something to do with his research on ball lightning and plasma physics, and was composed of a stream of particles flying at velocities approaching that of light. The US government found no prototype of the device in the safe, but his writings were classified as top secret. J. Edgar Hoover, the director of the FBI at the time, declared the case “most secret”, given the nature of Tesla’s inventions and his patents. Was his death, or what led to it, just a simple accident? Why the US government seized all Tesla’s documents, writings and theories? Are these theories studied even today under the counter? I’d really like to have all these answers, but even pondering the questions is something important to honor this great but very unpopular genius.
