Also, I think that much of science has abandoned Tesla and his contributions. he is the single most influential scientist of the modern era (I include Einstein in that statement) and hardly anyone knows much about him.

Science has to move to untestable areas in order to push the envelope to be able to test them, though. That's what science does. That's one of it's "jobs".

Without trying to test the untestable, we wouldn't be in space, have planes, boats, nuclear energy, fission, fusion, or the like.


I do however agree completely with you on Tesla. I think he is a genius, and he doesn't get recognition because some people view what he was aiming at as unruly.

But how do you test membrane theory? Its so beyond the realm of tangibity is smacks of religion... but then again...

If matter is energy, and all matter when destroyed becomes energy, and the most basic form of energy that occurs in nature is fire... which is like a WAVE OR MEMBRANE OF ENERGY.

I just blew my own mind

You don't first just go out and say "Okay guys, let's test this intangible idea" you say "What are the tangible ways we can get around to finally testing this seemingly intangible idea?"



And yes. Everything is fire.

On a lighter note I've been to Fermilab twice, and it's pretty amazing stuff. Obviously, they dumb everything down. You need extensive years of math and physics under your belt before you can start messing around with all the theoretical physics they do. Isn't Neo our resident forum physics guy?
