". . . I gave to the world a  wireless system of potentialities far 
beyond anything before  conceived.  I made explicit and repeated statements 
that I  contemplated transmission, absolutely unlimited as to terrestrial 
distance  and amount of energy.  But, although I have overcome all obstacles  
which seemed in the beginning insurmountable and found elegant solutions  of 
all the problems which confronted me, yet, even at this very day, the  
majority of experts are still blind to the possibilities which are within  
easy attainment." [Nikola Tesla, "The True Wireless," Electrical  
Experimenter, May 1919.]

"Today's scientists  have substituted mathematics for experiments, and 
they wander off through  equation after equation, and eventually build a 
structure which has no  relation to reality. . . ." [Nikola Tesla, "Radio 
Power Will Revolutionize  the World," Modern Mechanics and Inventions, July 
1934.]

". . . the more we learn about high frequency phenomena,  resonance and 
radiation today, the nearer we find ourselves approaching  what we at one 
time were inclined, through a species of intellectual  myopia, to regard as 
the fascinating but fantastical speculations of a man  who we are now 
compelled . . . to admit was a prophet." [John Stone  Stone]




Hi Gary, All,
 
When one starts quoting "scripture" as evidence to refute reality, we are  no 
longer in the realm of science, and rational argument is not longer relevant. 
 IMO this thread needs to be wound up.
