Did Tesla blow up Siberia?

“Scientists have calculated that the chances of something so patently absurd actually existing are millions to one.But magicians have calculated that million-to-one chances crop up nine times out of ten.”

- Terry Pratchett, Mort

The meteorite theory is more plausible.

(1) No, Tesla did not cause the Tunguska Event. “Oliver Nichelson suggested that the Tunguska explosion may have been the result of an experiment by Nikola Tesla using the Wardenclyffe Tower, performed during one of Robert Peary’s North Pole expeditions.[45][48][49] It should be noted that Admiral Peary did not leave New York until July 6, 1908, six days after the Tunguska event.” (From Wikipedia)

(2) It really was a meteorite, and THANK FSM it missed Moscow.

@grumpyfish Commie!

@grumpyfish
HHmmm… posibly a lump of rock, but the mid air explosion doesn’t make sence to me unless there was a large quantity of water traped inside. Also correct me if I’m wrong, but to date to my knowledge there have never been any fragments of meteor rock found in that area, also the meteor doesn’t account for the eye witness testimonies of strange atmospheric lights after the supposed impact.

So for me that leaves geographical position and dates for Tesla’s visit back to Wardenclyffe. This would put me straight.

I thought Judge Crater was responsible. Just take a gander at his last name, why don’t you?

@pdworkin
BOOOooooo!
Thought you might have had something to say about the real issues buried in that question?

Using Goodsearch to search and benefit my favorite charity at the same time, I came up with a whole list of articles about it.

My own opinion? I think his work is worth a good look.

I’m sorry, I don’t think Tesla had anything to do with it; I think the meteorite hypothesis has been well-supported for many years, and that the Tesla hypothesis has been debunked many times.

I wish I could give you a less disappointing answer. I actually think the response about Judge Crater carried the same message this does, but more lightheartedly.

@pdworkin
Apologies, I wasn’t offended by your comments, I like to bring things to peoples attention and see what there opinions are, and if they have no opinion because they’ve never seem that information, they might research it a little.

The real issues I was trying to point were the HAARP research and the microwave active denial systems that are to be deployed in America, or rather on the American public. Me thinks they’re expecting some civil unrest when the bailouts finish.

You may think thats totaly unrelated to Tesla, and in a way you’d be perfectly right, but if Tesla had created a method of transmitting electricity wirelessly just think how different the world would be today. As it was most of his patents were buried, appart from the profitable ones of course, and thus began the strangle hold on the serfs accross the globe, if you don’t work you get no utilities and your family disintegrates.

Call me a cospiracy theorist if you must, but I think this is the calm before the storm.

Involvement by a Judge Crater would be ironic given that a crater was the one glaring thing missing from the destruction at the Tunguska site. ;)

@hiphiphopflipflapflop
Here here….
Though I have to admit it doesn’t rule out the posibility of an exploded meteor.

The Tunguska blast was a meteor.
But Tesla was a genius. He still might have had a weapon that could do such a thing.

OK, maybe it wasn’t Judge Crater. Maybe it was Amelia Earhart.

I’m glad this question is on Fluther.

@pdworkin
I’l tell ya this tho. J.P.Morgan was definately a 20–23-1–20 !......

LOL at the HAARP reference. I do work on the ionosphere for the DoD and will be going out to HAAPR in january. I can assure you it is not used to control the weather, and never will be.

@jackm
Did you blow up Siberia then?........

You just never know do ya!.......

@Pazza
Yes, I did. I used teslas time travel machine to go back and do it

@jackm I didn’t know Tesla had a time machine too! I thought that was just Newton.

No, Siberia is still there to my knowledge.

Okay, I know nothing of this story. Interesting though!

You are aware of the Wardenclyffe Project, right?

And what exactly was his power source for this?

@Jayne You haven’t been paying attention – Tesla discovered that the earth is a power source, all by itself, and all you have to do is know how to harness it.

The TE happened at 7:14pm June 29th, 1908 in local time at the Wardenclyffe Tower.

According to some sources, much of the equipment at Wardenclyffe had already been moved out (whether this was a ruse or not, is left to your imagination).

Here’s the question at hand: Where was Nikola Tesla at 7:14pm June 29th, 1908?

On the terlit.

@pdworkin
But, what is this ‘terlit’?

‘toilet’ ‘to lit’ ‘terlit’ no, no, not gettin it…..

@Pazza Welcome to America ! Ever been in an outhouse? :-)

@virtualist
In England there is a term for a hardman ‘he was built like a brick outhouse’ although we no longer use the word out, its replaced by sh1t.

Also I personaly prefer the word purge.
“I’ll be back in five, am just goin for a good purge!” lol…..
Or
“just goin to lay a cable!”

I used to work with a girl who said to me once “I’ll afot go tut loo, evry tyme a-sit dohwn I stamp mi-knickers”

Tickled me that did :-)
