"Particle" physics is inseparable from quantum physics, which I doubt Tesla was familiar with. I conclude that if you were a physicist you would say so, instead of playing games. How could I be disagreeing with Tesla? What do you know about Tesla's work that you could put on the table? I suspect you are only a Tesla enthusiast incapable of understanding either his work or current science, but quite willing to take up a banner for a cause you don't understand.
You're 'inferring' I am "playing games". It is said that exaggerated pride complicates relationships. Stop imagining things that aren't there.
I remember those college days in Physics class all too well. It was a fun time. My teacher worked at Palamar Observatory for JPL many years ago. I'd get to class early in the morning to talk to the teacher and have coffee with him. We'd talk about many things and he'd always tried to recruit me for a career in physics. One particular morning I approached the building and he was standing before the door staring at the ground. I paused to watch as he stood motionless. I finally said to him, "What are you looking at?" He replied, "Bees, Don't step on the bees". I then looked down and saw several very sluggish moving honey bees on the sidewalk. The instructor then said, "They are all waking up. Soon the sun will be warm enough for them to fly away." We carefully stepped around them as he unlocked the classroom door. In his office he said to me, "Speaking of bees..." I looked at him and interrupted him in mid-sentence saying, "No! I didn't get a 'B' on the exam, did I?" His face grew a big smile and said, "No, but you were the only one in class that derived Schrodinger's equation. I haven't had a student successful in doing this for many years. I'm just curious to know more of your thought process on it." It wasn't hard for me to answer that question. I told him, "It came to me in a dream the night before. I figured it out in a dream." I still remember the exact time when I woke up and said, "That's it!" My professor looked at me and said, "Your playing games with me". I said, "No sir, you're 'inferring' this, but it's the absolute truth". I then told him the rest of the dream I had regarding electron clouds and the sudden disappearance and reappearance of electrons. I explained to him the theory I had in my dream. His response was with utter amazement because it was a new unpublished theory at JPL.
You and I have gone in circles before. I remember them all. We don't agree on much regarding science. I've always been respectful in my responses to you though. It would be pointless of me to answer any of your questions regarding Tesla. You don't know who I am, nor do I you. There's no room big enough for insincerity and pride.
Good for you. But you are not a physicist?
Parsing word choice as a point in argument is a rhetorical game, so far as I am concerned, and I have experienced a lot of argument in my life.
I've read of Tesla. I admire him. I think he was on to things that we have not followed. I think his turbine concept was very inventive and possibly a good fit for rocket turbopumps (simple, light). But there is no indication he knew of quantum theory. And it still follows that if you talk about "vibrations," there must be something that vibrates. The search for more particles? It's like the search for more elements. You will get temporary mash-ups based on the energy of the collision, things of momentary stability. You will be lucky to measure their evanescent lives. The fact that we can talk about "particle physicists" is a clue that this whole direction of research has ossified, as though there were no other physics.
So, if you think there is something from Tesla, bring it out for consideration. The inability of people to put their position on the table is a bad trait on this site.
