The new light
„My dear mother, I feel sad and dreary when I think of you. I don’t know how, but I feel that you are not well. I wish I could be beside you now mother, to bring you a glass of water. All these years that I had spent in the service of mankind brought me nothing but insults and humiliation“.
The last letter from Nikola Tesla to his mother.
Today, we will dedicate ourselves to getting to know perhaps the greatest mind of all time, the child of light, Nikola Tesla.
Many of the more interesting facts regarding Nikola Tesla are rarely ever mentioned, if at all. , usually the common knowledge about Tesla begins with the notion that he was an amazing scientist, or ends with: “The one who produces cars?”
In this text I do not plan to exult on the topics we usually hear about tesla, I rather wish to summarize some of the more interesting and lesser known points, and hopefully teach you that he was not a car manufacturer.
The debate about his nationality
Let’s start from the very beginning, Nikola Tesla was born in Smiljan, a place that was in the Austro-Hungarian empire and modern day Croatia, and no, Tesla was not a Croat or Austrian nor Hungarian, but a Serb. His parents were Serbs, his father an Orthodox priest. However, Tesla was always proud of the whole of Yugoslavia and loved his hometown. Serbian culture was the best logical fit for him. Tesla even enjoyed Serbian heroic epic songs, according to his auto biography.
The first sentence describing Tesla on Wikipedia is simply wrong, he was not an American-Serbian scientist, but a Serbian scientist. Tesla had two citizenships, Austrian and American, so judging by citizenship, then he is an Austrian-American scientist. if we examine his ethnic background and cultural inclinations however, the only logical conclusion is that he is a pure-blooded Serb, although that is less important than the greatness of the man himself.
Tesla belonged and will always belong to mankind, his whole life was reduced to giving to people so he equally belongs to the Americans, Chinese, Nigerians and every living person on the planet.
I am more bothered by the falsification of history, and the continued debate over clear facts surrounding such a popular figure. For example I would like to bring to your attention something that does not even appear on Google searches. Plenty of people are under the impression that Tesla did not have any autobiographical writings. His autobiographical works are not even very highly commercialized, which is absurd for a man who had such an interesting life, not to mention his enormous scientific successes.
Abilities
Tesla is often the subject of various conspiracy theories, and how could he not be when it is not even mentioned anywhere that his senses were believed to be 13 times stronger than the average human’s. It is said that Tesla was able to hear the ticking of a Clock three classrooms away from his, that he was able to see objects that for other people were not even outlines. Amazingly, something as insignificant as the landing of a mosquito on the table made a faint but perceivable sound in his ears.
As a comparison, imagine being able to see a chair at 100 meters, Nikola Tesla could see it almost a kilometer and a half away.
Why aren’t these amazing facts mentioned in the media? In a time of so much technology and information, is it possible to overlook this many important aspects of such a pivotal figures life? Instead, people express amazement at his dislike of pearls, at a time when tens of thousands of more outlandish phobias are recognized by the medical community.
Could I be the only one who’s fascinated by this?
Pureheart
A man who is in fact the father of modern times died in poverty because he was simply not interested in money. He had knowledge and he believed that he would be able to help all of the worlds people live easier, with little financial compensation. the globalists of course saw a chance too good to pass up and did not want to allow it.
Nikola regretted that he did not have the time to write more. He wanted to leave more written memories to this world, even though our everyday routines contain a part of Tesla in themselves. With his writings, he wanted to motivate young people, to give them strength and assistance in difficult moments, despite having many problems of his own.
Nikola was witty, clean, and meticulous in all aspects of life. He managed his time in great detail, going as far as to eat at the same time every day, and his body remained the same until the last days of his life. The dimensions of his shirts as well as his weight remained absolutely the same.
“I don’t care that they stole my idea; I care that they don’t have any of their own” – Nikola Tesla
He didn’t care when they stole his ideas, he had one love, science, for which he neglected all else. He was left without even descendants. He regularly worked from 10:30 a.m. to 5:00 the next morning, and he trusted people too much.
The heart of a poor Serbian peasant stopped beating on Orthodox Christmas, January 7 1943 at The New Yorker Hotel.
He may have lacked money but that is not the reason why Tesla was poor at the end. He was misunderstood, too little appreciated, and for ever alone; faithfully devoted to his only two loves, science and humanity his entire life. Passions for which, even in death, his contributions are even now continuous and as profound as ever.
We owe you more than we know Nikola, sorry.
