They didn't write the rules, they merely wrote down the rules that they
observed nature using. You don't have to know everything to know something. And
you only have to step in some things once to recognize them the next time.

Not exactly. His financial plug was pulled when it became obvious to his
backers that he was misusing their money.

Absolute nonsense! If Tesla had proceeded and failed, his backers would have
been out millions of dollars. If he had succeeded, he would have bankrupted
them. HE created his own no-win situation. He forgot you can't do as you please
if you're using other people's money.

You can learn a great deal about resonant circuits here. But if you just want
your preconceived notions and faith in pseudoscience massaged, then you'll
probably be disappointed here.

If someone wrote it, then it must be true, eh? You can find websites that TALK
about UFOs, free energy, perpetual motion, crystal power, magnetic healing,
faith healing, alien abductions, Bigfoot and pyramid power, and conspiracy
theories out the wazoo. It doesn't mean their ideas intersect the real world
anywhere. Several of the Yahoo groups are more amenable to this sort of
s(tuff).

You are free to believe anything you want. There's a lot of science to be
learned here, but if you want to be an "Acolyte of the Holy Resonance of St.
Tesla", that church is down the street.

Bearden and associates are well-known purveyors of pseudoscience to those with
little formal education in math or physics. And they do a really slick job of
it. Notice that the great breakthroughs that were imminent eight years ago just
haven't happened. Not because they violate a rule made up by some man a century
ago, but because they violate the principles nature made up about 15 billion
years ago.  
They never learned the principle, "One should not propose vast new theories
with only a 'half-vast'  understanding of the existing ones."
