Tesla - a Man out of Time
A Full Length Portrait of One of the Most Brilliant — and Strangest — Scientists in History. One of my fav passages in this is pg.51 “Tesla describes visual effects in the style of a poet in love with the sheer dance of flame and light.”
pg.113 I enjoy the studies in electical resonance which Tesla was afraid would set fire to the sky !
——— just my thoughts ———–
The crazyness of working with something you couldnt even see until you harnessed it is the concept why I love Nikola Tesla’s work so much… a wild scientist who pushed every limit of conventional wisdom even to his own undoing… wow a crazy extreme but I admire his passion!
If you are a Tesla junkie like me you’ll love this book!
I remember something like Tesla wouldnt work on something until he completely thought out the problem in his mind… I think I work better like this too - as where Einstein (”like a busy bee”) would work expiriment after expiriment improving step by step on his original concept… They both are solid ways to work… I just think that until I have a solid (decently at least ) concept of what I am trying to achieve or if there is any question about it until I am certain of it, Ill keep it in the little corner of my mind’s eye until fruition is complete and I am satisfied to release it unto discussion or test by ‘fire’.
However I do keep journals, (look at this site) — journals of my daily activites and things of daily living I ponder, to a dream journal to my screenplay journals even an invention journal… I also even read oncec that I believe it was Tesla that worked under red light if there is a problem he couldnt solve, then he’d turn out the light and sit in darkness until he thought of it then turn on a yellow light I think it was to write down or draw out his ideas… I have tried this and it works everyonce in a while for me… its neat to try…
“Let the future tell the truth, and evaluate each one according to his work and accomplishments. The present is theirs; the future, for which I have really worked, is mine.” — Tesla
… damn, what a challenge he left for us LOL…
remember no idea should be forgotten…good luck inventin’ ! !…
