Amazing!
Wireless phone charging was discovered in 1831...

It really is. He was so far ahead of his time, it's not even funny. Even the rock band Tesla thought so. lol

If this were a blog, I would so subscribe to this. You guys keep up with "This Week in Science" or "I Fu&^ing Love Science"?

I love both of them. Follow them on facebook. Check out ASAP Science too.

Space and Time into a single Continuum

http://youtu.be/MO_Q_f1WgQI

the thing that comes to mind though is that this is too simplistic, given the past few year's demonstration of quantum communications. If quanta truly could be displaceable instantaneously regardless of distance, it would add quite the wrinkle to this, eh?

Nope, didn't finish quantum physics in college.

but in cosmological terms, 1+1=3 where you have extremely large values of 1...

I have to admit... Chariots of the Gods was a very convincing assortment of impossibilities. ha ha ha

I'd like to see a film about Nikola Tesla. His legacy has been severely neglected.

All kids in the US learn about Edison in grade school, but I never heard of Tesla until I took university physics.

I agree 100%. Edison was America's darling, and deservedly so, but the smear campaign against Tesla's vision for AC was downright nasty. As history has shown, Tesla was right and the power grids we have are proof.

These are from the entrance to Niagara Falls.

Giorgio!
I wanna grow up to be like him.

I think he was born in Switzerland.

Re: Conversations About Science and Physics

I'm kind of not a fan of Edison.
He was the father of General Electric yet pretty driven and cruel in some of the things he did.

I just watched a great doc about Edison. It's too bad he was such a giant horse's behind because his company really helped throw civilization into the 20th century.

Edison's personality reminds me of my father-in-law's. Both are prone to character disorder-induced smear campaigns.

So you're the poor schmuck who married my ex-wife.

I need to look into that.

A real periodic table

Re: Conversations About Science and Physics

Bought this app for my phone sometime back:
Periodic Table Pro | Windows Phone Apps+Games Store (United States)

I actually refer to it on occasion.

Thanks for the link. I just bought it. I have to say that chemistry was never my strong point.

Re: Conversations About Science and Physics

I've always found details about this guy fascinating:
Philo Farnsworth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Since we were both born and raised in the same state.

My understanding is he was so intense about his idea his thinking consumed a lot of brain power while functioning day to day.
Most definitely a beautiful mind.

If you scroll down you'll see the section where the article talks about his one and only TV appearance...

Too bad we didn't have smartphones and apps 28 years ago when I took my first chem course.

Me neither. Most of my organic chem lab experiments blew up.
