Tesla went too far, he got to a point where he was so far down the road that others could not understand what he was getting at any more.
Your take on his last cycle and ending of his life is not at all what he went through and what it was about.
after all, even science/physics is big enough to have it’s own ’dunning-krueger curve’, where the bulk of physics and science is in the middle of the trough ...and those people are insistent on running the show. and they hold the peak of physics discovery back, just like happens in these audio threads. As above, so below.
Point is, all contemporary science that is known now, will pass like a painful kidney stone. Or worse. count on it. bet on it. The only true constant is the change.
Better catch up, the world is leaving you behind.
One can go to physorg and read and read and read and it will never stop, it just keeps on coming and it is moving so fast that the best of us are struggling to keep up. the best of us are falling behind on keeping up with the latest science. it is changing too fast for humans to absorb. The rate of change is going quite non linear.
Right now...there is pretty well literally no time to write textbooks before a change comes along that re-writes them, again. No joke. One has to scan the literature daily, these days.
