WOW

I would expect major revelations since he was almost ready to present his theory to the world, and firmly believed that relativity was a total blunder that misdirected from the true state of the universe. You have already seen what relativity has lead to, Black Holes, Neutron Stars, Dark Matter, Dark Energy and the avoidance of any description of electrical forces acting in the universe. Tesla never presented any theory without experimentation first, I therefore expect he had at the least diagrams for machines to test this theory. A theory that could only have one consequence, dispute relativity. If it did not dispute relativity he would not have believed it was rubbish. The proof that electrical forces rule the universe would change science as we know it, with perhaps even devices that would enable one to control those forces.
 Quoting: observation


This is a huge misrepresentation of Special Relativity. Avoidance of electrical forces? Au contraire, SR says that electrical forces are the very things which define distance and time. Special Relativity says that Electric forces are more important to us than any preconceived concept of absolute space, in fact shaping our entire view of what is reality. If you wish for proof that electrical forces rule the universe look up "meter" or "second" in the dictionary. You will see that these most fundamental of all physical concepts are defined with electric forces. Dark energy? Neutron stars? No, relativity is about clocks and meter sticks and careful use of coordinates to record observations.. taking into account that it is electromagnetic forces which hold our world and our brains together.

 Quoting: aether


One of the Twelve Labors of the hero Heracles was to fetch some of the golden apples which grow in Hera's garden, tended by Atlas' daughters, the Hesperides, and guarded by the dragon Ladon. Heracles went to Atlas and offered to hold up the heavens while Atlas got the apples from his daughters.
Upon his return with the apples, however, Atlas attempted to trick Heracles into carrying the sky permanently by offering to deliver the apples himself, as anyone who purposely took the burden must carry it forever, or until someone else took it away. Heracles, suspecting Atlas did not intend to return, pretended to agree to Atlas' offer, asking only that Atlas take the sky again for a few minutes so Heracles could rearrange his cloak as padding on his shoulders. When Atlas set down the apples and took the heavens upon his shoulders again, Heracles took the apples and ran away.

In some versions, Heracles instead built the two great Pillars of Hercules to hold the sky away from the earth, liberating Atlas much as he liberated Prometheus.

 Quoting: Seer777


It is Phosphorus that animates all 'life', Phosphorus
is the SPARK.
The lack of man's ability to create its own SPARK is
the cause of the manifested orders and power structures with the revolving door of 'gods' as their Head that have been
present on earth throughout time.

Before the first being relative to our likeness walked
as 'AMAN'--it was before that just a spark of phosphorus in a SEA of phosphorus that later became The one cell above all the others to combine with other cells and later lend its structure to the rest of creation in similar likeness.
By many revolutions its structure defines itself according
to the innumerable modems of variables within a structural
system.


Familiar binds with Familiar-thus It is not that a being or person is 'chosen' as a capsule of sorts for embodiment of some sort of 'spirit'-- the spirit is the phosphorus....
it is rather that over the course of time, a specific fertile cell structure present on the planet Earth was maintained by nature and found elect as such so that at
a ripe time, that specific cell structure and the primordial eternal structure would be attracted to each other.
Thus, the reason why at the 'marriage' of the two, (whereby a new spark is manifested via phosphorus), The being is now capable and able to Affect and cause Effects To every natural process within the created realm;
Which includes the manifestation of new cells, bacteria, virus and other single celled organisms which will eventually 'change' presently existing 'life'; evolving the entire structure of the presently existing material plane,
and collaborating with energies existing in non-material spheres that along with the material phosphorus manifest
new structures.

All of This because of the primorDIAL coding of phosphorus which is within EVERYTHING & NOTHING, and because it is syncrentically connected to a being whose cell structure specifically manifested to be compatible with a purpose in agreement.
It preserves the everything vital, and from Nothing creates and manifests everything.

I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practice resignation, unless it was quite necessary.

I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms, and, if it proved to be mean, why then to get the whole and genuine meanness of it, and publish its meanness to the world; or if it were sublime, to know it by experience, and be able to give a true account of it in my next excursion."

 Quoting: Dionysian Fractaliscious


It means your Stoic facade can be annoying as all positivism that came thereafter sometimes.

The Stoic ethic espouses a deterministic perspective; in regard to those who lack Stoic virtue, Cleanthes once opined that the wicked man is "like a dog tied to a cart, and compelled to go wherever it goes." A Stoic of virtue, by contrast, would amend his will to suit the world and remain, in the words of Epictetus, "sick and yet happy, in peril and yet happy, dying and yet happy, in exile and happy, in disgrace and happy," thus positing a "completely autonomous" individual will, and at the same time a universe that is "a rigidly deterministic single whole."

I am already outside, and in the woods next to reserve park in a hotel, after traveling up and down the eastern seaboard for the last 4 weeks after my mother died in a fire, this (being online)is relaxation for me, quite enjoyable, why does everyone act funny when i show up? why do people act like i'm derailing a conversation, even though I am commenting on something from just 2 pages back. jeez, what is so hard for you guys to just continue conversation as normal? It never fails, You guys are having a great conversation about
stuff, then I post something, and the conversation stops, and someone says, "Oh I think we should step away from the computer today", lmao, so obvious.
