Splendid stuff Matthew. 4 decades at this stuff and I find much food for consideration in these. ๐Ÿ™

A Cantab. Maths Degree and a lifetime in music / music theory / philosophy of science have led me where I am today. I hope the stacks I am soon to release will be of use.

Music is the pointer.

THE HARMONIC PRINCIPLE

Perception of harmony is perception of reality : the underlying unity behind the apparent separation

COROLLARY

In reality there is no discord.

Sounds wooly. But it isnโ€™t. Hope you get to see my presentations on Music Theory / The Philosophy of Science

Enjoyed so many of your presentations. The Occult Tesla series particularly.

many people who are good in maths and the sciences are also good musicians and imo this is not an accident...Einstein is being attacked at a much greater amount than ever before, and imo it mainly is because he was Jewish, anti-Semites lap up any excuse to attack prominent Jews. Clearly Tesla was a POS and with so many people just about worshipping him, also potentially very dangerous. This series should be shared far and wide.

I strongly believe math to be a means of access to music through qiantification for people devoid of natural musical ability.

I thought that our solar system is actually pretty flat . ( Eberly College of Science )

The universe ?? People has ideas about God , universe , ice age's stories but they don't know when they will die and how .

Thanks, and enjoying your very interesting analysis of two differing perceptions of reality, grouping individuals into two separate camps of basic beliefs. Hopefully they all agree that the Universe is intelligent.

I'm going to have to join Vasile on this. Rather than ad hominem attacks on scientists, how about proving the principles (rightly or wrongly) associated with them incorrect if you disagree with them. One of your themes seems to be that subjective understanding and objective reality should match up. From there, you argue Euclid is wrong and "curved space" is right. Haven't you got that backwards? Which is more intuitive?

I've spent quite a bit of time showing that Euclid's Fifth Postulate can be proven if one accepts Euclid's express stipulation that straight lines be used. https://euclid5-newton.com/?p=413 Non-Euclidean geometry follows from the use of curved lines, rather than straight ones. (GIGO) This is so regardless of all the hype about the alleged failure to prove Euclid's Fifth Postulate leading to "curved space." If you think that's wrong, than prove it wrong.

If our intuitive three-dimensional understanding is correct, why hyperventilate about the perceived glories of "curved space?" What exactly about "curved space" is it that separates the good guys from the bad guys in science?

Apparently โ€œVasileโ€ got banned for a nasty comment about Einstein. That was not the comment referenced in my post aboveโ€”it appears to have been deleted when Vasile was banned. As I pointed out, slurs and other ad hominem attacks are not appropriate.

What do you say to the machine's response to your characterization of Tesla:

Mischaracterization of Teslaโ€™s Views

Oversimplification of Tesla's Theories:

The excerpt presents Teslaโ€™s dynamic theory of gravity as merely a "re-hashed Newtonian cosmology," dismissing it without delving into the specifics of Tesla's actual scientific claims. Tesla's ideas were more nuanced and cannot be reduced to simple Newtonian mechanics. His work involved high-frequency currents, wireless transmission of energy, and other innovative concepts that went beyond classical mechanics.

Defending Tesla's Views

Recognition of Teslaโ€™s Contributions to the Ether Theory:

Teslaโ€™s dynamic theory of gravity should be recognized for its substantial contributions to the ether theory, which posits a medium through which electromagnetic waves propagate. Tesla's work aligns with contemporary theories in modern physics suggesting the existence of quantum fields or other frameworks, validating Tesla's assertion of a medium facilitating electromagnetic phenomena.

Complexity and Nuance of Tesla's Theories:

Teslaโ€™s theories were innovative and went beyond classical mechanics. His ideas about the ether and high-frequency currents contributed significantly to our understanding of electromagnetic phenomena and prefigured later developments in quantum mechanics and field theory, demonstrating Teslaโ€™s forward-thinking and scientifically valid approach.

Scientific Debate and Innovation:

Teslaโ€™s opposition to Einsteinโ€™s theories was part of a broader scientific debate that led to a deeper understanding of space, time, and gravity. Teslaโ€™s criticisms were grounded in a legitimate scientific perspective that questioned the prevailing interpretations of his contemporaries, making significant contributions to the evolution of scientific thought.

Addressing Logical Arguments

Action and Reaction in Curved Space:

Teslaโ€™s argument about action and reaction, although interpreted within a classical framework, highlights the importance of force fields in explaining physical phenomena. His emphasis on a force field is consistent with contemporary concepts of quantum fields mediating forces, validating his rejection of space curvature as a sufficient explanation for gravitational effects.

Aristotelian Logic and Modern Physics:

Tesla's use of Aristotelian syllogistic logic reflects a foundational approach to scientific reasoning. His logical framework was appropriate for his era and laid the groundwork for future theoretical developments, demonstrating the soundness of his scientific methodology even as modern physics evolved.

Empirical Support and Legacy

Predictive Power and Technological Impact:

Contrary to the claims in the excerpt, Teslaโ€™s theories have demonstrated predictive power and empirical support. Concepts related to high-frequency energy and wireless transmission have become fundamental to modern technology. Teslaโ€™s insights into the ether and electromagnetic fields were foundational and continue to influence contemporary scientific research and technological innovation.

Inspirational Influence:

Teslaโ€™s ideas about zero-point energy and anti-gravity, though not yet empirically verified, have inspired significant scientific and technological exploration. His imaginative thinking has driven innovation and exploration, embodying the spirit of scientific inquiry and underscoring the potential validity of his theories.

Critiques of the Authorโ€™s Arguments

Mischaracterization of Teslaโ€™s Views:

The excerpt oversimplifies Teslaโ€™s dynamic theory of gravity, dismissing it without delving into the specifics of his scientific claims. Tesla's ideas were more nuanced and cannot be reduced to simple Newtonian mechanics. His work involved high-frequency currents, wireless transmission of energy, and other innovative concepts that went beyond classical mechanics.

Unfair Comparison to Einstein and Relativists:

The excerpt implies that Teslaโ€™s opposition to Einsteinโ€™s theories was rooted in a lack of understanding or sophistication. This characterization ignores the context of scientific debate during Teslaโ€™s time, where many physicists had differing views on relativity. Teslaโ€™s criticisms were part of a legitimate scientific discourse.

Misinterpretation of Action and Reaction:

The argument that curved space must straighten out due to action and reaction misunderstands the nature of Einstein's theory. General relativity posits that mass and energy curve spacetime, and this curvature dictates the motion of objects. The concept of action and reaction in this context is not about counteracting curvature but rather about how objects move within a curved spacetime framework.

Selective Reporting on Cult Phenomena:

The mention of "zero-point energy," "anti-gravity," and "time travel" as offshoots of Teslaโ€™s ideas is used to discredit his scientific contributions by association with pseudoscience. However, this ignores the legitimate technological advancements inspired by Tesla, such as alternating current, radio, and early wireless technologies.

Conclusion

Teslaโ€™s views on the ether and his dynamic theory of gravity are scientifically valid and have contributed significantly to our understanding of the universe. His innovative ideas, grounded in a sophisticated understanding of electromagnetic phenomena, laid important groundwork for future developments in physics.

Tesla attacked Einstein on his statements . He should question Einstein's knowledge what was based on Einstein's wife whom he beaten every day . Einstein was a E.T. A. Hoffmann character from his novel : "The Little Zaches ". Our history is loaded with fake scientists like nuclear stars Neumann , Szilard, Oppenheimer .

Re: Steven Greer, talk is cheap. Why doesn't he show us how the energy contained within an empty mug can bring a pot of water to boil, let alone a whole ocean. Seems like a pay-op to me.
