Text: In Tom Bearden¹s glossary under the Tesla, Nikola headingŠŠŠ..one recognizes Tesla¹s genius regarding his Œunderstanding¹ thatŠ.. "From his experiments he knew that the EM wave in vacuum was longitudinal, like sound wavesŠŠ. I showed that the universal medium is a gaseous body in which only longitudinal pulses can be propagated, involving alternating compressions and expansions similar to those produced by sound waves in the air. Thus, a wireless transmitter does not emit Hertz waves which are a myth, but sound waves in the ether, behaving in every respect like those in the air, except that, owing to the great elastic force and extremely small density of the medium, their speed is that of light." [Tesla] TESLA, NIKOLA Source: http://www.cheniere.org/techpapers/Annotated%20Glossary.htm Famous American émigré electrical inventor and eccentric who¹s numerous inventions fueled much of the electrical 20th century. Tesla produced the AC system, including polyphase systems. From his experiments he knew that the EM wave in vacuum was longitudinal, like sound waves. In spite of his great accomplishments, his eccentricities and grandiose pronouncements did not endear him to electrodynamicists! An example is his acrid comment: "...I showed that the universal medium is a gaseous body in which only longitudinal pulses can be propagated, involving alternating compressions and expansions similar to those produced by sound waves in the air. Thus, a wireless transmitter does not emit Hertz waves which are a myth, but sound waves in the ether, behaving in every respect like those in the air, except that, owing to the great elastic force and extremely small density of the medium, their speed is that of light." Another major example is his statement: "The Hertz wave theory of wireless transmission may be kept up for a while, but I do not hesitate to say that in a short time it will be recognized as one of the most remarkable and inexplicable aberrations of the scientific mind which has ever been recorded in history." Ironically, modern quantum mechanics has almost proven Tesla right that "the universal medium is a gaseous body." Today the modern QM vacuum is very much like a virtual particle gas. And of course the discussions in this present annotated glossary show why I personally am of the opinion that Tesla was also correct in his firm disbelief that those Faraday-Maxwell "taut physical strings without physical holders" filled the ether and provided transverse EM wave oscillations. I also agree with him that the EM wave in vacuum is a longitudinal wave, exactly like a sound wave. I believe that the transverse gyroelectron precession waves that our instruments actually measure in the conductor when it receives an incoming EM wave from the vacuum, proves that the vacuum wave is indeed longitudinal‹else it would seem we must discard the spin of an electron and the theory of gyroscopes. Finally, one should see, e.g., Patrick Cornille, "Inhomogeneous Waves and Maxwell's Equations." Chapter 4 in Essays on the Formal Aspects of Electromagnetic Theory, Aklesh Lakhtakia, Ed., World Scientific, New York, 1993. Cornille clearly shows that Maxwell's equations are directly created by scalar potential interferometry. As he states, this means that EM force field wave s are created by the interference of sound-type scalar potential waves, or "sound creates light." This strongly supports Tesla's original statement that EM waves in the vacuum are actually EM sound waves, much like sound waves in a gas. As a viewer of the research of others it is most gratifying to come across those statements of Œfact¹ that appear to Œcorroborate¹ one¹s beliefsŠimpressionsŠŠ.and attitudes regarding our understanding of the Œsystem¹ of Œcreation¹. We live in a world of Œchaos¹ theoryŠŠ..and of extreme Œcomplexity¹, ranging from the Œmicro¹ to the Œmacro¹ systems dealing in Œcomplex¹ Œinfinities¹ŠŠŠSo when one finds a refreshing statement like Tesla¹s, equating: "EM wave in vacuum was longitudinal, like sound waves" I regain my respect for the Biblical pronouncement: ŒThen God [said], Let there be light" as the first initiator of ŒCreation.¹ [from the Book of Genesis]. For the ŒLight" that ŒGod" Œspoke¹ into Œexistence¹ became the Œcanvas¹ upon which the ŒCreation¹ was Œpainted¹ [structured] All the Best, Leslie R. Pastor 2002, 12/03
