Was Nikola Tesla, the man who made Thomas Edison look like a little kid playing with Tinker Toys, responsible for the Tunguska Event? The Tunguska Event is one of the biggest unsolved mysteries of the 20th century and has provided fodder for everything from alien investigations to the
appearance of a tiny black hole. I perfectly love the idea that a black hole could just suddenly appear and do such incredible damage, but even the idea that Tesla's death ray was responsible sounds more reasonable. Tesla was, bar none, the single greatest inventive mind of the late 19th century and 20th century; he was so very far ahead of the curve that he naturally died alone and ridiculed just like so many people whose minds were born out of time. But could Nikola Tesla's death ray, ridiculed beyond the point of reason at the time, really have been behind the devastation in Russia in 1908?
The Tunguska Event, which was the impetus for an episode of The X-Files as well as providing the title for the episode in question, has never fully and adequately been explained. What is known for sure is that there was some type of fireball in the sky over Russia and that an exceptional amount of devastation was left in the wake of the explosion. The Tunguska explosion knocked over tens of millions of trees, created a shock wave that had the power to upend people right off their feet, and created what would have been a 5.0 earthquake on the Richter scale if such a thing had existed. The most common theories over the years have revolved around a meteor or comet. These theories have had to settle for the explanation that whatever passed over Russia exploded high enough in the air to account for the lack of what should by all rights have been one big honking mother of an impact crater.
