Michael Faraday

Shunned By Peers, But Way Ahead of His Time

Source (Base Source)

Michael Faraday (22 September 1791 – 25 August 1867) - of which "The Faraday Cage" is named after - was an English scientist who made significant contributions in the fields of electromagnetism and electrochemistry.

In spite of Faraday having very little formal education, he created the foundational concepts for electromagnetic field theory in physics (i.e., electromagnetic induction, diamagnetism, and the laws of electrolysis).

His electromagnetic rotary devices paved the way for modern electric motor technology; enabling practical uses for electricity.

Faraday discovered benzene, created one of the first Bunsen burners, and single-handedly made terms like "anode", "cathode", "electrode" and "ion" accepted, known and more widespread among the scientific and engineering communities.

Although his experimental genius was readily apparent, his stunted formal education - that limited him to employing math no higher than simple algebra - made it very difficult to get his ideas formalized (AKA: published in respected journals) and accepted among his less knowledgeable, but more educated peers.

In fact, it was James Clerk Maxwell who took Faraday's work and represented it in a "proper" set of equations that lead to the acceptance of Faraday's concepts as the basis for modern electromagnetic theory

After many years of hard work and successful experiments, Faraday was recognized by the Royal Institution and served as their first Fullerian Professor of Chemistry, a lifetime position.

Tesla wasn't so lucky...

Nicola Tesla

Envied By Many, Shrouded in Mystery

Nikola Tesla (10 July 1856 – 7 January 1943) was a Serbian-American inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, physicist, and futurist who is best known for the design of the alternating current (AC) electricity supply system.

His famous rivalry with Thomas Edison and the controversial battle between AC and DC electricity is now widely known.

And unlike most of Tesla's life, today's generation has great respect for his lifetime inventions and contributions to modern electrical technology.

His private, eccentric and tragic life (rags to riches to rags and dying alone in his apartment - save for his pigeons) has turned him into somewhat of a cult figure.

Conspiracy theorists believe that much of his misery was not Edison, but the U.S. government who wanted to use his "secret" inventions as weapons for military purposes (e.g., the "Death Ray", Remote Mind Control, Invisibility, Teleportation, etc.).

Immanuel Velikovsky

Velikovsky - Cosmology's Version of Faraday and Tesla

Source (Base Source)

Immanuel Velikovsky (29 May 1895 – 17 November 1979) was a Russian independent scholar best known as the author of a number of controversial books reinterpreting the events of ancient history, in particular the US bestseller Worlds in Collision published in 1950.

Most people born after 1970 probably have never heard of him - much less have read "Worlds of Collision".

Pushed aside and labeled as a quack during his lifetime, Velikovsky has been forced into obscurity.

Much like Tesla, Velikovsky's genius is starting to be widely recognized and now a new generation is discovering his many, wonderful books - the books that the Scientific and Academic Communities labeled as "fiction", fairy tales backed by only myth and superstitions.

Why is he being vindicated now?

Because the advancements in technology has made it possible to authenticate by measurable observation almost all of his so-called "outlandish" claims.

See this 1964 TV Interview:

Here's a short list of those once-ridiculed, but now verified claims:

• The planet Venus' hot temperature.

• The "comet tail" of Venus.

• The retrograde orbit of Venus.

• Radio waves emanating from the planet Jupiter.

• A cloud of hydrocarbon gases enveloping Jupiter.

• The presence of Cosmic electromagnetism (Basis for his Electric Theory of the cosmos).

• The "impact-like" appearance of our moon.

And much more.

Here's the 1972 BBC Documentary on Velikovsky:

"Bonds of the Past" video

And finally, here's a nice, contemporary YouTube video:

Final Thoughts

"It is the plight of polymaths like Faraday, Tesla and Velikovsky that drives me to keep an open mind, seek out non-traditional people, investigate fringe concepts and theories, and most of all, embrace disruptive, yet - in my mind - inevitable technologies." - JaiChai

About the Author

Believing that school was too boring, he dropped out of High School early; only to earn an AA, BS and MBA in less than 4 years much later in life – while working full-time as a Navy/Marine Corps Medic.

In spite of a fear of heights and deep water, he performed high altitude, free-fall parachute jumps and hazardous diving ops in deep, open ocean water.

After 24 years of active duty, he retired in Asia.

Since then, he's been a full-time, single papa and actively pursuing his varied passions (Writing, Disruptive Technology, Computer Science and Cryptocurrency - plus more hobbies too boring or bizarre for most folk).

He lives on an island paradise with his teenage daughter, longtime girlfriend and three dogs.
