These legends are basically without evidence.
Tesla is a legend, but most of his legends are added by some people out of thin air or far-fetched, which makes this real scientific practitioner magical and even becomes the spiritual pillar of some anti-intellectual and anti-scientific groups. This may be Tesla's own sorrow.
Generally speaking, Tesla is not a top basic scientist, but it is also a top applied scientist or engineer. The biggest difference between basic scientists and applied scientists is that basic science discovers the natural laws of the universe, is the most primitive discovery and research results, and is the basis of all inventions; Citing scientists or engineers is to transform basic scientific theory into practical technology, create new tools for social production and life inventions or improve production level.
Tesla was once very famous, and his reputation overshadowed many scientists who won the Nobel Prize, but he never won the Nobel Prize. At that time, many Nobel Prize winners, such as Einstein, Millikan, Prague, Compton and Frank, praised and respected him greatly. They sent a congratulatory letter for his 75th birthday and made a eulogy at his funeral. At that time, President Roosevelt, his wife and Vice President Wallace also paid high tribute to him at the funeral. However, he has only been nominated for the Nobel Prize, but he has never won this honor in his life, which has a great relationship with the fact that his achievements are not original in basic theory.
Tesla's greatest monument is the Niagara Hydropower Station.
Tesla has a wide range of research fields, but it mainly involves? Electricity? Related, such as AC system, radio system, wireless power transmission, ball lightning research, etc. He is also interested in inventions such as turbines, amplifier transmitters, solar engines, X-ray equipment, power meters, missile science, particle beam weapons, radar systems, cosmic rays, remote sensing technology, airplanes, robots, etc.
The most famous achievements or events in his life are as follows: 1897, the first 654.38+ million horsepower hydropower station in Niagara, the first AC power station in the world, and the first hydropower station in the world. Its power was transmitted to Buffalo, 35 kilometers away, becoming the main power source of the city; With the completion of a series of large and small power stations, the electricity produced is enough to supply a quarter of the total demand of new york and Ontario. Up to now, this group of electric power construction is still in normal operation, which has become a great miracle and spectacle in the history of human science for a hundred years.
This group of buildings is a monument of Tesla, which was designed by Tesla in his thirties. The project uses nine patented inventions of Tesla, including its alternator and long-distance transmission technology. This project is great. It uses Tesla's technology, but it is not his original theory and invention.
Before Tesla, many senior scientists of electromagnetic theory had discovered and laid enough theoretical and technical foundation. For example, Faraday, Maxwell's electromagnetic theory, Popo Rongsu? Pixii made the first alternator based on Faraday principle in 1832, and James? Gordon made a large two-phase alternator, William? Thomson and Sebastian? Ferranti has developed alternators with frequencies between 100 Hz and 300 Hz.
Tesla also had many ideas and inventions that shocked the world at that time.
Trass is really a freak who dares to think and do. In addition to bringing alternating current to human social life, he also created spherical lightning, giant lightning of more than 300 meters, and high-voltage electricity of 654.38+00,000 volts. He also made small earthquakes with small electromechanical oscillators and threatened to invent dead light; Invented the X-ray machine, radio, fax machine, vacuum tube, neon tube, missile navigation and so on. He holds thousands of patents (some people think more than 700). What's his name? Tesla? It is named the magnetic density unit: 1 Tesla = 10000 gauss (1 Tesla = 10000 gauss).
Because some of his inventions were classified as secrets by the American government, and he was poor in his later years, he often made some unreliable remarks, and the rumors became more and more bizarre, especially his UFO, the Tunguska Big Bang, the solar system and so on. After his death, some of his legendary experiences and wonderful speeches were transformed and demonized, catering to some anti-intellectual and anti-science groups and becoming spiritual pillars for them to use.
In fact, except for some inventions such as alternating current and radio, many thrilling Dallas inventions do not exist or have no practical application value. For example, flying saucers are only design drawings, but there are no physical objects: death ray weapons only have some ideas, and no results and physical objects have been formed; The Tunguska Big Bang is even more nonsense. Wodenkrifta, believed to have created the Tunguska Big Bang, was stopped several years before the Tunguska Big Bang, and its equipment was dismantled to pay off debts.
Several inventions that Tesla led to magical rumors.
In addition to AC power generation, the great inventions or events that Trass influenced later generations, as well as the construction of Walden Clifton and the study of artificial lightning, were all based on the applied experiments of predecessors' theories. Although these studies have given people some inspiration and accumulated some experience, they have no more heritage and achievements.
The famous Warden Creeft Tower is a 57-meter-high tower, which was built in Changxing Island, new york, to transmit radio broadcasting signals to the other side of the Atlantic. This project cost a lot, and Tesla persuaded Morgan Consortium to contribute $6.5438+0.5 million. But the tower is not finished yet. Italian inventor and engineer Galileo? Marconi completed the transatlantic radio transmission experiment for the first time on 190 1 12 February 12, and made the radio waves cross the Atlantic for the first time between PotHugh in Cornwall and St. John in Newfoundland. The distance is 338 1 km, which proves that radio waves are not affected by the curvature of the earth's surface.
As a result, the Morgan consortium felt that the experiment was meaningless and stopped funding the Tesla experiment. In this way, Tesla began to be heavily in debt, and the experimental equipment at the construction site of Walden Lake Tower was confiscated by the court. The tower that was close to completion was finally demolished, and the sensational tower experiment ended in failure. As a result, Marconi obtained a patent for radio invention, which became? Father of radio? And won the 1909 nobel prize in physics, Tesla lost the opportunity.
The competition for Tesla's radio invention patent has never stopped. Finally, 1943, the US Supreme Court revoked Marconi's original judgment, admitted that Tesla's invention had been completed before Marconi's patent, and ruled that Tesla was the inventor of radio. However, this judgment is still controversial in society. Some people think that this is because the United States is a hooligan for economic reasons. It was a judgment made by the US government during World War II in order not to pay Marconi a huge radio patent fee, because Tesla gave up the patent right.
It doesn't matter now, but it can be seen from this point that in the19th century and 20th century, great men of human scientific elite came forth in large numbers, and Trass was not the only one who made great discoveries and inventions. In these two centuries, human civilization has advanced thousands of times as fast as in the past, thus making human civilization move from darkness to light age.
The photo of Tesla in his prime and the last photo in his later years Although Tesla is a great man, he is also a mortal.
Tesla was born in an ordinary village in Serbia. For economic reasons, he didn't even finish college, but he was smarter than us. Most people with deep academic attainments have not made great achievements like him. But perhaps it is because of his weak basic knowledge that he failed to make great achievements in basic theory.
Although Tesla is smart and great, he is also a human being. He also wants to eat and drink Lazar. He will also make mistakes, live and die. In his later years, some of his behaviors gradually deviated from the track of scientific spirit, and he often behaved strangely and made some irrelevant remarks. His book against relativity, Dynamic Gravity Theory, has not received any support from the scientific community. He was gradually ignored by the society and the scientific community, and eventually he was down and out, living in seclusion and living alone in a hotel in new york.
Tesla studied yoga in his later years, and after learning some Hindu thoughts, he was demonized as? Buddhist science? The source of this rumor is believed to be People, a science and education channel of a leading media. In 2009, two episodes of Nikolai, Superman of Science, were broadcast. Tesla caters to the mentality of some fans with folk thinking and even ghosts and gods. It is this distorted propaganda and rumor that gradually demonizes Tesla into a demigod and demigod science? Daxian? Being used by anti-intelligence and anti-science groups, Tesla became a folk god who did not eat human fireworks. Film and television? Crazy scientist? The prototype of.
What about this? Daxian? Still can't avoid the natural phenomenon of birth, illness and death. Tesla died of heart failure in the hotel room on1the evening of October 7th1943 10: 30. The maid who cleaned the room the next morning found and reported the case, and the cause of death and time of death were determined after forensic autopsy.
Now let's talk about Tesla's statement about the solar system.
No, in all his discourses, he never talked about the solar system, let alone that it was made. This is another big hat put on him by some anti-intelligence and anti-science people. Although there are still many unknown areas in the universe waiting for exploration and breakthrough, human beings have made a lot of progress in understanding the solar system.
The human-launched probe Voyager 1 has flown 22.6 billion kilometers, and has flown out of the top layer of the solar wind, that is, the edge of charged particles radiated by the sun, and entered interstellar space to receive charged particles in interstellar space. To know that these two kinds of charged particles are different, the detector can distinguish them and transmit these data back for scientists to study.
Of course, there are several theories about the scope of the solar system. First, Voyager 1 has flown the farthest planet. Second, it is bounded by the top layer of the solar wind, and this one also flies; Third, Oort Cloud is the boundary, which is not enough. It takes more than 17000 years to fly out. However, Oort Cloud is still just an imaginary edge, and it is uncertain whether the radius is 1 light-year as described.
But in any case, the general formation process and operation law of the cosmic star system have become the common sense of the scientific community. Our solar system is just an ordinary star with hundreds of billions of galaxies, and the Milky Way is one of the trillions of galaxies in the universe. What about our earth? It is just a small dust in the vast universe. This dust had long since disappeared before it flew out of the solar system, but more than 7 billion people gathered on this dust, including some unreliable dreamers.
They even think arrogantly that they can control and manipulate the universe, but if they can't, they imagine that Tesla has done it for them, that's all.
That's it. Welcome to participate in the discussion. Thanks for reading.
