- Nikola Tesla
Elon musk has done a lot of shitty things but the one thing that pisses me off the most is he’s the first thing a lot of people think of when you mention Tesla now.
Like the real Nikola Tesla was SO cool. Nikola Tesla was a genius, and a weirdo, and he nursed injured pigeons back to life. But now when you say “Tesla” most people just think of stupid Elon and his shitty exploding cars. And it pisses me off.
“Electrostatic force is that which governs the motion of the atoms. It is the force which causes them to collide and develop the life-sustaining energy of heat and light, and which causes them to aggregate in an infinite variety of ways, according to Nature’s fanciful designs, and forms all these wondrous structures we see around us. It is, in fact, if our present views be true, the most important force for us to consider in Nature.”

Nikola Tesla's most hated song.
Nikola Tesla once paid an overdue hotel bill with a ‘working model’ of his 'death beam’. He warned the staff never to open it, describing it as a war-ending particle weapon that could stop invading armies and make warfare pointless. After his death in 1943, someone finally pried the box open and found nothing but a bunch of harmless old electrical components. Source
"If you want to learn about one of history’s most fascinating minds and uncover some of his secrets of imagination—secrets that enabled him to invent machines light years ahead of his time and literally bring light to the world—then you want to read this book.”
Nikola Tesla (July 10, 1856-January 7, 1943)
Tesla, a Serbian-American inventor never fully appreciated in his own lifetime, has in retrospect become known as one of the most important inventors on record. Much of our 21st -century technological environment has its roots in Tesla's work with electricity, radio, and more.

Light can LITERALLY become “invisible” through the “Fractal Mirror Theory” (That if an image or or variable is refracted for “x” times, then the ”shattered mirror’s ability” to reflect the image, becomes unable to atomically represent the original source of the variable.)
Side note: No image is EVER, EVER... “Reflected”. This is a misconception of parallel surfaces. Light can only travel at a visible rate without causing quantum instabilities.
-IF glass is a liquid, and light can chemically affect that material... This too says that light can carry similar characteristics of glass and/or plastics. That’s especially to say that when light is bent, it’s also a substance.
The Forgotten Vision of the Electro-dynamic Human Harnessing Apparatus (EHHA)
This piece unravels the often overlooked aspect of Nikola Tesla's pioneering works, the early designs of an Exoskeleton suit, revealing how this vision from the 1890s fell into obscurity yet subtly influenced the path of human augmentation technologies today.
In the later part of the 19th century, the name Nikola Tesla was synonymous with bold innovations, dazzling demonstrations, and, most importantly, a future shaped by a novel understanding of electricity and electromagnetism. However, a lesser-known aspect of Tesla's expansive body of work was his early designs for an Exoskeleton suit, which he worked on in the year 1893. Tesla, a man with an extraordinary vision, recognized the potential in the field of human enhancement technology. He foresaw a future where humans could achieve extraordinary physical feats through a fusion of technology and biology. He drew up blueprints for an electromagnetic powered exoskeleton suit. He called it the "Electro-dynamic Human Harnessing Apparatus" or EHHA. In Tesla's own words, "The EHHA is an application of my studies into the nature of electrical and magnetic fields, a machine designed to enhance the natural abilities of a man." The concept behind the EHHA was a suit powered by a compact electrical generator, the same alternating current (AC) system that Tesla had championed and which would soon power the world. The suit was designed to provide increased strength and speed, along with enhanced durability, to the wearer. However, Tesla's vision was far ahead of his time. The technology required to build such a suit simply did not exist in the 1890s. The miniaturization of power sources, the development of lightweight yet durable materials, and the computing capabilities to manage such a system were all beyond the capabilities of the period. Also, the world's focus was drawn to his pioneering work in electrical distribution and radio wave technology, which had more immediate applications and monetary potential. Thus, the EHHA was deemed as an impractical fantasy and was soon overshadowed by his other groundbreaking inventions.
Over the years, the EHHA's designs were relegated to the back pages of Tesla's expansive body of work. His more immediately practical inventions like the AC motor and radio technology took center stage, while his more speculative and futuristic designs fell into obscurity. Tesla's death in 1943 further pushed the concept of the EHHA into the realm of forgotten ideas. However, the idea of exoskeleton suits was not completely abandoned. They resurfaced again during the late 20th century, with advances in miniaturization, battery technology, and artificial intelligence making it more feasible. Despite the early designs being forgotten, Tesla's vision of a human-augmenting exoskeleton suit, in many ways, prophesied the path of technological development. Today, as we look at the emerging technologies in the fields of wearable robotics and human augmentation, it is fascinating to think that the seeds for these ideas were planted by Nikola Tesla over a century ago. Although his initial design for the EHHA was lost in the pages of history, its spirit lives on in every piece of technology that seeks to augment human potential.
