Romy the Cat, you are one hell of a confused feline. How on earth did
you manage to introduce a political dimension into my critical
assessment of Tesla's alleged accomplishments from a purely scientific
point of view? Have you ever taken a hard science or mathematics
course in your life? You claim in your earlier posting that Tesla
"bombarded the moon with radio waves." He didn't have the equipment to
do so, and even if he could, he didn't have the ability to take any
useful measurements of an echo. If anything, he may have made one of
his many conjectures about the possibility of doing it, but even that
is unproven see[1]. And Tesla did not have education or ability to
make the leap from a nineteenth century electrical engineer to
understanding Einstein's new physics. To the end of his pigeon-keeping
days in cheap hotels, he believed in the physical reality of the
"luminiferous aether," a nineteenth century kludge introduced to
explain the propagation of light in a vacuum, see [2].
You are proof, if any is needed, that the Internet is lousy with crazy
people who elevate charlatans to the level of prophets and
tenaciously cling to any mumbo-jumbo like revealed religion. Now go
away before I tie a tin can to your mangy tail and shy a brick at you,
you yowling tabby.
NOTES:
[1] The use of the Moon as a passive communications satellite was
proposed by Mr. W.J. Bray of the British General Post Office in 1940.
It was calculated that with the available microwave transmission
powers and low noise receivers, it would be possible to beam microwave
signals up from Earth and reflect off the Moon. It was thought that at
least one voice channel would be possible.
The "moon bounce" technique was developed by the United States
Military in the years after World War II, with the first successful
reception of echoes off the Moon being carried out at Fort Monmouth,
New Jersey on January 10, 1946 by John H. DeWitt as part of Project
Diana.
[2] In the late 19th century, luminiferous aether or ether, meaning
light-bearing aether, was the term used to describe a medium for the
propagation of light.
Due to the negative outcome of aether-drift experiments like the
Michelson-Morley experiment, aether as a mechanical medium having a
state of motion is no longer an explanation made use of in modern
physics and has been replaced by the theory of relativity and quantum
theory.
