Investment money reasons. Tesla was at that point nothing but a money pit, pursuing his rivalry with Marconi to be the first transmitter of a message. Nothing salable was forthcoming. And Tesla's idea was based on a false assumption that the air was conductive for electricity, so that would have been a show-stopper.
Marconi's radio technology was specifically designed to cover up Tesla's findings, namely, that messages (and energy) could be broadcast from any point to any point on earth, without direct line of sight, and faster than light.
Marconi was not in the least concerned about Tesla. He was the first to demonstrate that it could be done, with wireless telegraphy. Long-wave radio can be broadcast and heard all over the Earth (if you have enough power and a sensitive receiver). You talk as though it hasn't been a reality for over a century. Where have you been?
Faster than light is BS. It is only as fast as light. And maybe not quite that fast, since the atmosphere has a refractive index that results in a slight reduction of wave propagation speed.
The bankers who funded Marconi knew full well that contemporary science was on the brink of discovering Tesla technology. If it hadn’t been Nikola, it would have eventually been someone else. They needed to head that off with something that would throw future generations off track. Marconi was able to oblige, knowingly in my view.
Radio requires line of sight or something off of which to reflect. Tesla’s transmissions travelled through electromagnetic strata and needed no reflecting to get to the other side of the earth. Radio frequencies low enough to pass through the earth are also low bandwidth and not usable if everyone were to crowd those frequencies.
The speed limit proposed by Einstein is BS and requires us to put our thumb on the scale with “dark matter”. Tesla’s transmissions are instantaneous across any distance as they are transmitted through the ether, while radio is essentially waves produced in a pond of ether and travels at the speed of those waves.
Oh. "The bankers"? Which ones? Marconi was funded by Italians. And how would you know this about "the bankers"? What "Tesla technology"? This whole thread is based on the release of Dr. Trump's assessment report, which reveals there was no "Tesla technology," just a lot of fanciful projections.
Radio does not require line of sight, as we think of it, for it is refracted over the horizon by the atmosphere. And, beyond that, for certain wavelengths, it is reflected by the ionosphere to travel around the world. This is how it was in use to communicate with ocean liners out in the middle of the ocean, totally beyond line-of-sight. Tesla was unable to get his Wardenclyffe installation to radiate any significant distance, thereby failing to beat Marconi to the prize of first long-distance message transmission. And radio waves do not travel through rock.
The "speed limit" was never "imposed" by Einstein. It was "imposed" by the fact that all measurements wound up with the same result, conforming to Maxwell's equations. Maxwell arrived at the conclusion that it was determined by the dielectric and diamagnetic constants of the vacuum. Einstein tried to elaborate the physics of objects that approached the speed of light. A fact (the speed of light) does not require us to invest in any other idea. Your idea that Tesla was able to transmit anything faster than light is sheer fancy. There is nothing to support it. No measurements. You really need to learn more physics.
