Nikola Tesla was a Badass

tweakmonkey · 11-27-2007, 02:31 PM

I had always heard about this guy before but never took the time to really appreciate all he's done for mankind. These videos provide a documentary on his work. I've watched the first one but figured I'd share with everyone before continuing.

Haha, Dean Stockwell, sweet. Wonder if they'll bring up Ziggy at all.

I'm in the process of watching, pretty interesting. Did anybody see The Prestige? David Bowie played Tesla in it. That was badass.

Tesla was beyond genious. Thanks to the government, oil barrons, and power companies, we'll never know the extent of his discoveries. anyone ever see that movie "the Philidelphia Experimemnt"? That experiment actually took place.

No doubt one of the greatest scientific minds of all time.

Same old story though, too advanced for the general population, made out to be a wack job.

Cool vids. If anyone gets an error on embedded youtube videos saying they arent available, its most likely that you have let it sit open for too long and it gives an error. It might be a mac/safari thing, but as I don't have others to test. I get that error when I let it sit open without loading the video for a while, but if I refresh the page, the videos work.

It's a Mac flash thing. Flash and java suck on Mac.

Now I get why he's in the Prestige.

Could you imagine the world if commercial interests hadn't interfered with Tesla's work? If the work he did, was applied to free energy and peacefull purposes rather than fodder for the war machine?
