The Big Misconception About Electricity


This vid goes quite a ways down the road to explaining why:

1)  Power cords make a not so subtle difference.

2) Cable elevators should not be looked at askance.

To educate some who think that Tesla is not a scientist, here an american engineer and researcher explain the Tesla coil and the Tesla tower, because Tesla was one of the first if not the first to recreate lightning and plasma ball...

It is only to give an idea of what it is...

No tinkerer ever develop ideas on this scale....

This thread speak about electricity , then why not understanding better one of his father with Maxwell....

 

 

cindyment

The thread was already derailed when i entered into it and correcting a point about Tesla,and the fact that the "electrical model" is a hypothesis only for sure, ( i even ask yuvi to end cluttering the thread) not an accepted one but a fringe hypothesis is one thing and saying that Tesla is not a scientist, which he was, studying 3 years physics at the university, and calling him falsely, to gain a point in a discussion, a "tinkerer" which he never was is the reason i spoke my mind...

Those who will read the thread will see how you said anything to transform this thread in a joke by not admitting you are wrong about insulting Tesla...

This thread is written .... Anybody can verify the way you transform it ALSO in a circus by volontary ignorance... You know perfectly well that Tesla was not a tinkerer if not you are an idiot....

Tesla was a scientist save for those ignorant of history.....

He lost the Nobel prize attributed wrongly to Marconi with 17 patents of Tesla, heavily back by Edison money.... This is the truth.... He was recognized after his death only the creator of radio by a tribunal ....

Sorry but truth matter...save for idiots....

By the way for those who dont understand history there was no engineer in electricity in the modern meaning of the world at the time where Tesla was studying physics and no need for them in crowd , electricity was a physicist domain mostly more than an engineereing matter at these times GUESS WHY?...Nobody needs an electrical engineer in most city of the world... The man who created the electrical industrial age of electricity being Tesla.... Only tinkerer like Edison touch it or physicist like Steinmetz or Tesla....

 

For sure the wrong of others made you right...

You said it yourself: Some people take life too seriously....

This is the only point where you are right, but not the way you think...

 

Here are my succinct word:

Tesla was the greatest inventor of this century and desinterested by money...

You are a fraud....

You are not even able to think rationally... AKA reacting rationnally to an argument....Your goal is making a point not truth, because you already own truth....Your behavior was the same with others in a thread about Russia and Us defense....

Who decide that what i posted about Tesla is a fraud?

You?

You are the sole arbiter of what is true?

If someone read all your post about Tesla his conclusion will be that you are a clown OR of very bad faith...

In the beginning i cited for a fact the eidetic memory ability of tesla, you deny them and never recognized to be wrong about this FACT... Even after i proved to you with FACT that eeidetic memory exist and some peoiple are able to draw cities from the air after a first sight and WITHOUT ERROR...

The only arguments you come with to diminish and slander a great man were ridiculous: someone discover something analogous few time before or he was not alone in the electrical field, or all what is said about him by fringe people made him a fraud.... You are not completely stupid but because i know that you are "relatively intelligent" and if we study your behavior with people i must conclude that you are a contemptuous man with a very limited perspective on things...

Myself i say what i think in good faith, i dont mock others and i try to let all perspective to be listen to...

saying to people " bye bye" is your method of discussion when you lost argument or patience because of being pointing wrong, because you consider they are stupid? NO because you are always right for sure....Almost all people are stupid for you even before beginning the discussion....Save very few...

I consider people here, human beings, i like to argue but with arguments and not to win a point ONLY and ESPECIALLY recognizing when i am wrong on a subject when i know i am pointed wrong by fact ... It is not your case....Fact are a tool for you not an arbiter...

Anyway speaking with you is stupidity of my part, anybody reading you know all that... You are too old to discover respect and truth.... You know too much and too little...You give RESPECT TO THOSE very selected who speak the same....

Repeating Tesla is a tinkerer or a hack made not much reason to convince someone of your seriousness, it only illustrate your misconception coming from your irrational reaction to undersground culture where Tesla is a symbol, but being a symbol in a fringe movement dont make Tesla an exagerated phenomenon in the history of invention AT ALL....

Speaking with someone who can never recognize that he is wrong had no interest at all...

Someone who speak with contempt with people who he consider wrong because he himself is always right even when pointed wrong by evidence, or at least debatable, is like an idiot painting himself in a corner in plain sight...

for sure this will not affect you at all.... Guess why?

Like you said to someone all this is only a circus and you are the pist master for sure....Why taking all this seriously? because some idiot like me take truth seriously....

Why do you act like this is simple... You know more than anyone and anyway the majority of people being stupid you dont feel shame when your behavior is only sarcasm and contempt why?  Why being ashamed? Your are not even conscious of your behavior...

Enjoy the circus....

I dont....

 

 

 

Some dont understand when some pompous ass take nothing seriously because he like to argue without any good faith nor respect to truth...because all people are inferior to his intelligence...And...

Because it is funny...

A joke is like a cherry it is good when it is well placed...Too much cherry and it is a diarrhea no more a good meal...

A wise man joke WITH people not at their expanse...

Do you catch?

myself i am like kitechaser .....But a bit less well disposed.... 

 

 

Will you judge all republican americans to be stupid  save 2?

That was my point...

It make no sense to judge people by politic affiliation...

Especially in this crisis....

 

There is great soul in the body of some republican and in the body of some democrat...

Someone who judge man with politic tag is an.... pick the word....

Especially in this crisis.....

This magnificent video will show to some that Tesla did not invented ONLY a motor...

And anyway it is so clever and so beautiful than i dont post it to contradict the disgusting soul who tried to reduce Tesla to be a "tinkerer" but for all to see and enjoy...

I doubt we would agree on where the revolutions are in neuroscience but I agree, revolutions, but not just in neuroscience, but in all areas of "human" science. We even have an Aids vaccine on the horizon, and I expect we are going to see cancer vaccines in the not too distant future.

 

By the way i was speaking about a revolution in biology not about new technologies..vaxx technology are easy today ask Gates...Do you take sharks are geniuses?

Friston ideas are a revolution, not new tech in medecine only or mainly...

And you said you have been a Tesla fan... I smile because you denigrate him completely with falsities...

He was only a tinkerer you said ....With more inventions than the great Steinmetz himself...Is Steinmetz a tinkerer?

He vas not a scientist you said.. False...

He has a big ego .... False for anybody knowing his life...

He died broke ... Which is true but it is no way the testimony of a failure but the sign on the contrary of his true dimension in life.... He never bother himself with the economical aspect of his inventions and even throw a contract of millions dollars just to help a friend...( Westinghouse)

He was gifted among other talents with eidetic memory.... I proved by fact that eidetic memory exist contrary to your dismissal... Why not apologizing for your negation of evident facts? you are silent?

You even say he was senile in old age which is false....

 

 

I grew up being a Tesla fan. The more I knew, the less impressed I was. There were far less inventors and far more simple and undiscovered in Tesla’s era than today, not to mention far lower cost to patent. Things are much different today.

 

Your last argument is meaningless... You just said that it was easy to be "Tesla" in his time and today it is more difficult to be a "Tesla"? Is it the reason why you are not a genius?

With your childish line of reasoning Archimedes had a more easy way for sure living in a older past......I guess you dont know anythhing about his method...

It takes 2 millenia to understand Archimedes, do you think is genius is exhausted by " tinkering" in his bath?

You think really that you are superior it seems ?

 

 

Try to read a genius and explain it to me tomorrow,his name is Karl Friston, i will wait...Do you need more than a day? it take me few hours and i am not a genius...I supposed you will easily did it in few hours...

Try Karl Friston...I will be here to read your briefing about him... His work is the beginning of a revolution in life science similar only to quantum mechanic in physics... Explain to me why i said so if i am right and why i am wrong if it is the case...I will wait ... After all you are a genius... 😁😊

 

 

I know too much geniuses in all fields myself to brag about me like you did here...

i am not a scientist at all by the way contrary to you... And not a genius at all.... But i KNOW how to read ...Books and people...

 

I hate when someone attack very great souls...Tesla is a great soul not only a genius....

 

 

«Any encounter with a genius make us humble... Save if we are not able to understand him at all....»-Anonymus Smith

 

I just say the same thing in my last post...

Then we are in the same boat....

What i called an "imaginative context" for mathematization is a "reality" perceived by humans and ONLY described by maths on some aspects....

Friston is a perfect example....He use old mathematics in a totally new way....

 

But we can describe some qualities with mathematic, like in acoustic for example, but the qualitative experience cannot be exhausted by measures or numbers...

 

Like i said there is a revolution in neuroscience and biology right now...

It is a revolution like physics has known one with quantum mechanics...

We cannot understand cosmology WITHOUT understanding what life is first...

One of the pionneer is Karl Friston another genius like Tesla...

By the way the problem is not the use of mathematics " per se" but the way and the imaginative context where we use it...

 

 

 

 

Because he replied to your immodest bragging about yourself just after your disparagement and ignorance about Tesla....And about eidetic memory facts....

 

For a supposed adult, you have the maturity of a 3yr old. How else do you justify this comment you made?

I expect this was another downfall of Tesla. So called photographic memories have been shown repeatedly to be flawed.

Your attack without foundation against a great human being are reflecting only your repulsive ego sorry...Bragging about yourself will not help you sorry...

eidetic memory exist..

Take a look, this case was studied by Oliver Sacks....

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejhNxNIKvOI

This young man look at a city from the air and paint it exactly...

He did it MANY times with many cities...He did that for a living...

And educate yourself about Leonardo Da Vinci able to draw fluids movements like nobody before him, and try Goethe who create his morphology with an eidetic memory of his own capturing the movement of plant growth ...

Perhaps you know John Von Neumann... Also an eidetic memory..

Do you want other case?

 

 

The remark of Einstein about Tesla is an urban legend by the way....

The 2 are geniuses, but very different...

An inventor is not a theoretical physicist...

You cannot compare the 2...

But if you compared Steinmetz, one of the greatest engineer and physicist with 200 hundred inventions, with the 278 of Tesla in the electrical field...

 

We can say that he is NOT a tinkerer BUT a true scientist on the level of Steinmetz at least...

By the way, owning a photographic IMAGINATIVE memory  Tesla never draw a blueprint before working on all his machine designs, save for his workers needs...

 

Ne vous embetez pas, Mon Ami.

Votre temps est perdu sur celui-ci.

 

 

Je deteste qu’on dise du mal d' homme si désintéressé et bon comme Tesla

... Mais tu as raison ....

Je te souhaite le meilleur cher ami....

 

the victim of his own ego and commensurate declining mental health.

 

It is of no value to argue with you...

You already demonstrated your ignorance...

Spoken against geniuses is not my fetish for sure, especially when i know NOTHING about them...

This is the case ...

My fetish is philosophy, mathematics, and science in general..Now acoustic and music...

The sentence from your last post i extracted reveal all the scope of your own ego adding other lies to your own precedent falsehood, saying it is not a scientist but a tinkerer...Now you just said it is a narcissist and a dementia sufferer...Incredible! I just give you one fact and an explanation about your misjudgement and you replied with BABBLING non sense and MORE disparagement to save face..

I dont want to go on with you....By the way i cited Friston Goethe, Archimedes Spinoza in my last 3 posts.... Then the obsession is perhaps not about me and Tesla, defending a very great human being but about you, obsessed with your ego more than with fact, going with your last lie to save face about the first lie (tinkerer and non scientist)

Good luck! Enjoy yourself....

P.S. this great man die broke BECAUSE anybody who know about him know that money represent NOTHING for him...You are repulsive in your attack which reflect total ignorance of his works and life....

Knowledge cannot be reduced to science and science cannot be reduced to powerful technologies...Save for materialist limited insight...

Nobody knows what a black hole prediction and indirect observation ULTIMETELY means, for sure save some people here in audio trusting newspapers or the limited "knowledge" of the day and calling Tesla a non scientist and a tinkerer...

Just now there is a complete revolution in science.... Do you know that?

A "tinkerer" in brain imaging analysis, his job, made it ....Try this guy : Karl Friston....He is less intelligent probably than Tesla but way more than the average materialist scientist....

He just demonstrate WHY we cannot understand the consciousness /brain relationship without knowing what is a living system...

His main concept the "Markov blanket" is a fundamental polarity of his theory... Like Goethe disciple of Spinoza...By the way against Descartes he is a Spinoza disciple....

By the way he is one of the most cited scientist in the world in neuroscience and A. I. and in meddeince, biology, psychology and ecology....

The next revolution is here already and it is in BIOLOGY not in physics...

Perhaps before understanding cosmology we must understand what life is ? no? Ernst Schrodinger was thinking so, he even wrote a book about that that sell very well on the library of any scientist...." what is life ? "

Speaking of black hole,perhaps physics is the ass of science and biology the head?

It is not so much that  electricity flows  cross the universe, perhaps it is information flows that cross the universe like in the living system and in the brain, not only chemicals and electricity ?

With Karl Friston science enter in a post galilean physical paradigm....This is all my own interpretation of Friston by the way....

I will not cite any other "tinkerer" for now....

😊

 

p.s. Nobody knows what electricity is or black holes ultimetaly....If you know wrote to Nobel in Sweden....

 

«The history of science is science» Goethe

 

 

 

Incredible ignorance....Sorry....

 

Tesla was a tinkerer and inventor, but not a scientist and his training in that area was batchelor’s level.

It would be comic if it was a joke...

Tesla was the discoverer of many phenomenon BEFORE many others...

NO TINKERER can invent radiography with x rays before Roentgen by playing with toys....

Instruct yourself.... And stay in audio matters it is more secure for you....

«The main reason why Tesla’s contribution to the discovery of x-rays hasn’t become better known is that much of his work was lost when his laboratory in New York burnt down on March 13, 1895»

https://pubs.rsna.org/doi/full/10.1148/rg.284075206

 

You prove your ignorance about Tesla claiming it is not even a scientist...

All people here are not ignorant or stupid sorry....

😁😊

For most people it is Edison...

Tesla is ALMOST unknown in US....

Some physicists even call him a "myth"... An exagerated myth by ignorant people...

I know i discuss with one 20 years ago, a world publishing one by the way, who say it straight to my face...

We became friends and he change his stance very slowly.....

Anyway TESLA published NOTHING....

How do you cite a man who publish NOTHING....hor do you evaluate him in universities and physics faculties?

The last time someone of his level lived on earth it was perhaps Archimedes...

Sometimes myths are lies.... But sometimes even a myth is an underestimation of the truth....

it takes exactly 2 millenia and more to understand the true genius level of Archimedes concerning for excample his use of the infinite in his mathematical methods...

:)😁😊

 

Copernic was a "nut" job for most scientist at his times, compared to the very precise modelling of what man SEE in the sky with Ptolemaic epicycles...

It is not so much the accuracy of his model that made him victorious but the changing times...

It  was the new epoch where modelling apparences like Prolemaic mechanic were no more enough , man look for a new way to look at the sky....A theoretical view... This era was looking for an  idea victorious OVER THE PERCEPTION itself...

I dont know for the electrical universe at all.... But who is the nut job you or his proponent against all others scientist ?
