"I never have, above my signature, announced anything that I did not prove
first.  That is the reason why no statement of mine was ever contradicted,
and I do not think it will be, because whenever I publish something I go
through it first by experiment, then from experiment I calculate, and when I
have the theory and practice meet I announce the results." -- Nikola Tesla,
1916 "

   Does that include his famous predictions that Hertzian waves 
would disappear from the scene by 1920?  Last time I looked they 
still ruled the roost and it's 85 years later than that, while there 
aren't any "world power systems" in sight.
