Nikola Tesla was born on 10th July 1856. According to legend, he was born precisely at midnight during an electrical storm. Tesla was influenced by the Vedic philosophy teachings of Swami Vivekananda. He was a life-long bachelor, became a proponent of a self-imposed selective breeding version of eugenics. He arrived in the US in New York city in 1884. He had little besides a letter of recommendation from Charles Batchelor, his manager in his previous job. In the letter of recommendation to Thomas Edison, Charles Batchelor wrote, “I know two great men and you are one of them; the other is this young man.” Edison hired Tesla to work for his company Edison machine works.

He invented AC electricity, neon lights, radio transmission, the electric motor, wireless electricity transfer, remote control, hydraulics, lasers, space weapons, robotics, and many, many more things.

As Tesla claimed to have invented a way to harness free energy from the voltage difference in the ionosphere that causes lightning, he was seen as a threat to the world energy economy and most of his inventions were classified for national security by the US government.

A lot of his discoveries in physics have not been released to the public, despite being invented nearly 100 years ago. In 2006 the first company publicly announced it could successfully power items by remote power without wires, (BBC News) something Tesla had invented nearly a century ago. Other technologies not yet released to the public include HAARP electromagnetic technology and high energy particle beams used in space weapons.

The man who invented the twentieth century breathed his last in room no. 3327 on the 33rd floor of hotel New Yorker where he had been for the last 10 years (he always did things in the multiples of 3 and stayed in hotels) on 7th Jan 1943. The US government immediately seized all his papers and tried to wipe out his existence and since then he has been buried in obscurity.

In my opinion he was the greatest mind ever to be born. To be continued…
