“Today’s scientists have substituted mathematics for experiments, and they wander off through equation after equation, and eventually build a structure which has no relation to reality.” (Nikola Tesla)One day man will connect his apparatus to the very wheel work of the universe …and the very forces that motivate the planets in their orbits and cause them to rotate will rotate his own machinery. (Nikola Tesla)”The scientific man does not aim at an immediate result.He does not expect that his advanced ideas will be readily taken up.His work is like that of the planter – for the future.His duty is to lay the foundation for those who are to come, and point the way.He lives and labors and hopes.” (Nikola Tesla)”Perhaps it is better in this present world of ours that a revolutionary idea or invention instead of being helped and patted, be hampered and ill-treated in its adolescence – by want of means, by selfish interest, pedantry, stupidity and ignorance; that it be attacked and stifled; that it pass through bitter trials and tribulations, through the heartless strife of commercial existence. So do we get our light. So all that was great in the past was ridiculed, condemned, combated, suppressed – only to emerge all the more powerfully, all the more triumphantly from the struggle.” (Nikola Tesla)
