thylacine Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Nikola Tesla is one of the people I most admire! He was brilliant, I only wish I knew more about him. Hypatia lived in ancient Egypt 2,000 something years ago, and was a mathematician. She was going down the street one day, driving her horses, and there was a crazy mob in the streets & she got killed & the mob burned down the library that held all these scrolls filled with wisdom & knowlege -- a great loss to the world & probably the beginning of the Dark Ages.

Thank you for this story, it is intresting tragic story. I learned something new on this forum! :D I can tell you something about Tesla, that no problem Tesla was born in village Smiljane 10.07.1856. year. His father was parson. His mother was daughter some parson. His parents was very religious. Teslins parents had five children. Tesla was fourth child. He had three sisters and one old brother. His brother was very intelligent and talented but he died when he falled with horse. In that time Nikola had 5 years old. He finished primary school and lower gymnasium in Gospic. Teslins parents wished send Tesla in churc, becouse it was familiar tradition, but Tesla wished to continue his school. Then his auntie Stanka from Karlovac invite Teslu in place Karlovac, there he finished higher gymnasium. He to matriculated school in 1874, and in that time Tesla get letter from his father. His father was sick and writed him: "You cant come in Smiljane, in this place is epidemic cholera." People in that place – Smiljane and environs they are was sick, becouse there was cholera. It was poor and insanitary place. But, Karlovac was developed. It was developed town. Today Karlovac is in Croatia, but in that time it was old Yugoslavia. When Tesla read letter from his father, he arrived in Smiljane. He wished see his father. Then Tesla was sick. Then his father decide to fill up all Teslins wishes. Tesla wished go to university. Legend say, when Tesla was secondary schoolboy, science of nature save Tesla from sink. Sometime he was to bathe in river Korana and on biggest waterfall he feeled ailment. In that moment he to recall some physical principle and he change position his body and to grasp arid part waterfall. Next morning a few girls which in that morning selled bottle milk, finded Teslu near the river. Then he entered university in Grac and after in Prag, but he did not finish university. He always make everything in sign number 3. He always to have on: three napkin, three handkerchief...etc...and at home: three fork, three spoon, three knjife, three plate...etc. Tesla was genius. He loved and poesy and writed poesy. He loved poesy and make friendship with a few poets. He loved and eugenics. He was so far ahead of his time, so much a visionary, that his contemporary scientists really didn't understand what he was doing. About Teslins life have a lot of tings. If you have any questions about Tesla, just ask. :D p.s. maybe you dont understand all text in post becouse my mistakes in english This is home where Tesla was born. This is inside Teslins house This is church in Smiljane This is gymnasium in Karlovac This is laboratory in gymnasium in Karlovac Waterfall on Korana where Tesla risk his life Link to post Share on other sites
thylacine Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Well, I think that story about Nikola Tesla was fascinating and the pictures were beautiful. I only know that when he lived in the U.S. he tried to sell some inventions to the government, but they were too expensive to manufacture, and when he got old he became rather eccentric & kept lots of birds in his apartment for pets. Although I don't know if that part of the story is true, either. Link to post Share on other sites

Although I don't know if that part of the story is true, either. In Teslins life always was a lot of people who are not understand what he was doing. Because that they in press was told how Tesla was "strange" or lunatic. Tesla was told: "I work for future". Yes, Tesla kept lots of birds in his apartment for pets.But, when he was little boy he always liked bird. When he was school boy he often was play with bird. He was born in village. He was liked nature and animals. He was emotional. He was always liked poesy, he was emotional. He was correspond with many poets, and with Jovan Jovanović Zmaj (Serbian writer and poet) and he was translate some poem and read his friends in America. Tesla was to look on sever h cloud above mountain Velebit and strong bolt whic make enough rain. He was wanted produce stream like that bolt and make rain in deserted region. He was wanted changed climate on our planet. In his 72 year Tesla is get admission number 6,555,114 for apparatus with name: "Apparatus for air transport". Something like kombination helicopter and airplane. That machine drive with his turbine. But, Tesla wasnt gotten money. He wanted flyed in his Yugoslavia. He invent "Differential pump" for transfer unlimited amount energy. In 1931 (Tesla was 75 old year), he speak about new source energy. Some motor which in function with cosmics, gamma rays. Tesla with George Vestinghaus make plan for realization his idea. But, he was get accusation for spent electric energy from 01.june 1903 untill 31. march 1904 year. Laboratory wuz sold. Other laboratory in Long Ajlend was unfinished. Becouse a much count for spent electrical energy. Laboratory wuz sold on auction. Laboratory in Long Ajlend Link to post Share on other sites

Amcan Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I'm going to split this thread now the Telso discussion does not belong in the welcome forum. I am moving it to Phil & Poli for now and I hope things have been concluded. Amcan admin. Link to post Share on other sites
reptilelover Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 If anyone wants to know something about Tesla and be spared the appalling grammar, she/he can read Tesla’s biography here: http://www.pbs.org/tesla/ll/index.html 8) Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Tesla is quite interesting. We can discuss him and his inventions. But we need not fight a Balkan War here, 'K? Kelly, P&P Mod Link to post Share on other sites

a-d Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Tesla was asexual? That I did not know. I don't think that there's any conclusive evidence for or against that. There were a lot of rumors that he was gay, also unsubstantiated. Maybe where people get these ideas are the other stories that say he was highly attractive to women of his day, but he always ignored them. Still no telling exactly what's the truth there.

Damien Day Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Tesla was asexual? That I did not know. I don't think that there's any conclusive evidence for or against that. There were a lot of rumors that he was gay, also unsubstantiated. There is pretty much definite proof that he was (aromantic) asexual rather than gay, given various biographies. I also read somewhere in some science-related website that Nikola Tesla once openly boasted that his scientific achievements were due directly to his chastity(can't remember the exact wording of the quotation, though). Re Serbia/Croatia comments:- While Serbia was involved in quite a lot of dubious practices in three wars of the 20th century, two of them global, with Croatia an unfortunately frequent victim, I might add that Serbia has by now come off worst in some ways, compared to other former Yugoslavian nations. For one thing, due to corrupt politicians, Montenegro, from which so many Serbian nationalists came from in the past, has become independent from Serbia, so the Serbian nation is split once again.

I also read somewhere in some science-related website that Nikola Tesla once openly boasted that his scientific achievements were due directly to his chastity(can't remember the exact wording of the quotation, though). That's interesting. It was a different time back then. Just because one was chaste didn't necessarily mean that one was asexual. However, his behavior and refusal to get involved with any of the women interested in him might lead people to certain conclusions, especially aromanticism. Conventional wisdom back then (and maybe even now?) was that if a guy was neither pursuing relationships with women nor accepting advances from women, he must have been gay. Furthermore, if people didn't say it back then, modern gay activist historians will now go back and claim that for sure. I'm not saying one way or another whether Tesla was straight, gay, or A. I'm just saying that depending on how you look at it, he could have been either, since sexuality itself wasn't such a big deal back then as to launch a full-blown investigation such as that which famous people and public figures would receive now, even in retrospect. That being said, it might make sense to give priority to the asexual consideration, knowing how asexuality is more prevalent with similar scientific minds than would be homosexuality or self-deprivation as such. Still, I think it's bold to make assumptions one way or another about historical figures when the data just aren't all that conclusive. Link to post Share on other sites
