In 1895, while conducting research with his step-up transformer, Nikola Tesla had his first indications that time and space could be influenced by using highly charged, rotating magnetic fields. Part of this revelation came about from Tesla's experimentation with radio frequencies and the transmission of electrical energy through the atmosphere.
Tesla's simple discovery would, years later, lead to the infamous Philadelphia Experiment and the Montauk time travel projects. But even before these highly top-secret military programs came about, Tesla made some fascinating discoveries on the nature of time and the real possibilities of time travel.
With these experiments in high-voltage electricity and magnetic fields, Tesla discovered that time and space could be breached, or warped, creating a "doorway" that could lead to other time frames. But with this monumental discovery, Tesla also discovered, through personal experience, the very real dangers inherent with time travel.
Tesla's first brush with time travel came in March 1895. A reporter for the New York Herald wrote on March 13 that he came across the inventor in a small café, looking shaken after being hit by 3.5 million volts, "I am afraid," said Tesla, "that you won't find me a pleasant companion tonight. The fact is I was almost killed today.
The spark jumped three feet through the air and struck me here on the right shoulder. If my assistant had not turned off the current instantly in might have been the end of me."
Tesla, on contact with the resonating electromagnetic charge, found himself outside his time-frame reference. He reported that he could see the immediate past - present and future, all at once.
But he was paralyzed within the electromagnetic field, unable to help himself. His assistant, by turning off the current, released Tesla before any permanent damage was done. A repeat of this very incident would occur years later during the Philadelphia Experiment. Unfortunately, the sailors involved were left outside their time-frame reference for too long with disastrous results.
Tesla's secret time travel experiments would continue on in the hands of others who were not as concerned with humanity as Tesla.
We are left with rumors and speculations on who may have become the heirs of Tesla's research -- hopefully, someday these secrets will be revealed once and for all.
While Wardenclyffe was the epitome of Tesla's dreams, there were numerous other mysterious devices he invented which are unknown to many. During World War 2, Tesla wrote a letter to the US congress describing to them a energy beam weapon he invented which could end the war.
He also invented a oscillating device which he claimed could split the Earth in two using special sonic vibrations.
And this is only the tip of the iceberg. What is strange enough is that while the US government ignored Tesla during World War 2, immediately after his death on January 7, 1943, FBI agents stormed Tesla's residence and confiscated many of his belongings and documents. J Edgar Hoover described Tesla's documents and notes as "most secret."
Exactly what those documents contained is unknown, but it is obvious that if the FBI would take the time to raid his apartment, there was information Tesla had that the FBI did not want falling into the wrong hands.
*FBI file about the event.
One document states that "[he] is reported to have some 80 trunks in different places containing transcripts and plans having to do with his experiments". Charlotte Muzar reported that there were several "missing" papers and property.
-----------------------------------------------
I really dont have enough time to get into more detail. There are just too many secrets surrounding Tesla's work and the US governments acquistition of it after his death. Ah well... who knows what they've used it for now, what work they've done of it. The only thing that angers is me is that today's children don't read his name in textbooks, they see the names of Edison.
“Let the future tell the truth, and evaluate each one according to his work and accomplishments. The present is theirs; the future, for which I have really worked, is mine.”
Indeed it is Mr. Tesla
