The words of Nikola Tesla which responds to the drafting of the New York Times, seeking to clarify certain concepts that were evidently misunderstood - in a note dated 11 March 1908. The New York Times, 21 April 1908, will report in turn to its replication in an article intolerance " How the Electrician's Lamp of Aladdin May Construct New Worlds ", as if to ridicolarizzare the futuristic vision of the scientist Nikola Tesla.
" When I spoke of future warfare, I meant that you can use direct electrical waves without the use of aircraft or other implements of destruction. This means, as I have already pointed out, that would be ideal not only for energy use in conflicts without any effort for the maintenance of its potential, but it would be essential in times of peace. This is not a dream. Even now, could be built wireless power plants all over the world, without subjecting the population to danger . "This is what he writes in response to the provocations of Nikola Tesla New York Times - published in a note dated 11 March 1908 - thus foreshadowing what is our near future, when there will be " electromagnetic warfare," and the introduction of what is called WiTricity . In fact, his visions are not, but a clear anticipation of technological developments, whereas he knew that the forces existing in the Earth and the universe would be used sooner or later man. For this reason, calls himself a "man of science" and not "an inventor, because the energy already exists in nature, do not invent it but to bring light into its full potential.
" What I have said with reference to the greatest achievement of the scientist, whose mind is once the domain of the physical universe, is nothing more than what I said in one of my publications unpublished " One theory is adopted, each atom is measurably different from a tenuous fluid, that fills the space with a circular motion like a vortex of water in a calm lake. By moving this fluid, the ether, becomes the subject. Stopped its movement, the primary substance reverts to its normal state. So, it seems possible for man, imprisoned by the energy of the medium and the appropriate agents, operate or stop the motion of the ether causing the formation or disappearance of matter. At his command, the old worlds would vanish almost without any effort on his part, and the new would be to exist. The man could change the mass of this planet, control the seasons, change its distance from the sun, guide it on its eternal journey along any path that decides to click through the depths of the universe. Could result in collision planets might create suns and stars, his heat and light, could originate life in all its infinite forms. Generate, at will, birth and death of matter would be the greatest act of man that would give the domain of physical creation, making possible the realization of its ultimate . "
Nothing could be further from the I thought that to call wireless telephony around the world, "the greatest achievement of humanity", as reported. This is an act that, wonderful in every case, the reader can easily be achieved by each expert. I myself have built a facility for this purpose. The wireless is only the beginning, not the result of an extraordinary ability as people think. The truth is that "the electrician has been given a real Aladdin's lamp. All you have to do is wipe it. Now, rub the Aladdin's lamp is not a discovery. "If you are eager to accelerate the achievement of a discovery even bigger and higher, you can oppose with all your might to all the power he intended to interfere with the commercial exploitation and free Water Power and the art of wireless. So human progress depends only on the development of these, and the smallest obstacle, perhaps due to legislative structures this country can bring back the civilization back and undermine peace for centuries .
The clear and shocking revelations of Tesla, however, were not understood then, nor from the world of science or of industry, who preferred to establish his theories of mere "hallucinations of a visionary." Perhaps only now - though still with many difficulties - we can understand the deep meaning of the words of this scientist, who sought only to explain to mankind that the evolution of our civilization could not have been Thanks to science, "free and independent", which must reflect the needs of the human universe, and not for some.
