Plenty of cults exist - every cult has its 'religious dogma', its idols, its 'prophets', its 'science', its 'proof' and its intolerant liturgy of demands. Cults everywhere: Corona, 'The Science' or Scientism, Islam, the State, the cult of Gender Fascism, Marxism, Darwin and Evolution, Globaloneywarming, Changing Climate, Abortion...
Tempus Fugit Memento Mori - Time Flies Remember Death
“This phenomenon [etheric force] is an entirely new force of nature... operating directly through the ether substrate without ordinary electrical charge.” Thomas A. Edison, 1875 Laboratory Notes and Press Briefings.
“I don’t think anything of Einstein’s theory because I can’t understand it... [My son] may go flying into the clouds with that fellow Einstein. And if he does that, I’m afraid he won’t work with me.” Thomas A. Edison, 1923 Interview following his son’s graduation from MIT. I wonder what Thomas would think of MIT and the Ivy League now….
Yet another aetherist and mechanic whose true story is rarely taught.
The real work of Thomas Edison embarrasses the thin armed math wizards with their abstruse claims and declamations that all technological progress was a top-down victory by geniuses and theoretical mathematical models. Misinformation and propaganda are spoon fed to young minds and the masses that the mathemagician-druids with chalkboards and pencils, scribbled abstract equations, declared truth and reality, conjured a design which they then handed over to ordinary mechanics and engineers, who after bowing low to the ground, went off and built the toys.
Piffle.
Real scientific history tells us the exact opposite story. Witness electricity. The modern grid was not built by the blackboard deduction wizards; it was developed out of the physical environment by tough, self-taught practical engineers who completely ignored the academic ivory tower. Chief among these ‘science-deniers’ was none other than one of history’s greatest practical scientists and inventors: Thomas Alva Edison. Edison’s story ends with a surprise twist; and his physics and belief in an aether are always ignored by the gatekeepers.
Thomas Edison was not a “scientist” in the modern, institutionalized sense of the word. He was an aggressive, relentless industrial engineer, material strategist, and very capable businessman. Largely homeschooled and entirely decoupled from the rigid academic tracks of his era, Edison viewed the universe not as a mathematical equation to be solved, but as a physical workshop to be organised. He operated on a simple, brutal philosophy: if it doesn’t have immediate, real-world utility and commercial viability, it was a waste of time and not worth pursuing.
Unlike Ben Franklin, Edison was not birthed into grinding, suffocating, working class poverty, but he certainly suffered from precarious economic circumstances. Little in the way of White Privilege was attached to Thomas Edison. He was born in 1847 in Milan, Ohio and his Canadian-born father ran a highly successful timber and shingle mill, ensuring that the family enjoyed a relatively stable, middle-class life. Then in the mid-1850s a new railroad was built which bypassed Milan and eviscerated the town’s canal trade. The local economy collapsed, taking the family’s business and related financial security with it. The Edison’s were forced to move to Port Huron, Michigan, to start over in severely modest circumstances.
This sudden slide into financial hardship left a permanent impact and attitude on the very young Alva Edison. By age 12, he was working on the Grand Trunk Railroad, wallowing in his White Privilege selling candy, sandwiches, and newspapers to passengers. But this is Edison. The young boy did not just hand out and sell newspapers; he decided to buy an old printing press and established a printing business in the baggage car. He wrote, promoted, printed and distributed his own newspaper, complete with spelling mistakes and his own opinions, to train workers and travellers - at the age of 12….. More here
The background and inspiration for the invention of the telephone is a largely unknown story. Alexander Graham Bell was born in 1847 in Edinburgh, Scotland, his family moved to Canada and he ended up in the Excitable States where he conducted most of his experimentation. Bell did not approach the problem of electricity from the perspective of an abstract academic physicist or a mathemagician. Bell was a practical man, largely self-taught and was, fundamentally, a subject matter expert in acoustic mechanics and also human physiology.
You want complexity? Study the ear. You want to know if your ‘doctor’ actually knows anything about your body? Ask Dr Quack about the ear (a dumb look will greet the question, followed by ‘are you quackcinated against the latest scariant?’).
Bell’s grandfather and father (Alexander Melville Bell) happened to be world-renowned authorities on phonetics and elocution. His father invented what is called ‘visible speech’, a written universal phonetic alphabet that mechanically illustrated exactly how the human throat, tongue, and lips must position themselves to create any given sound (evolution Fanboys tell us that such complexity arose uniformly and gradually as monkey-man hopped off the branch and became you, sure thing). Bell’s mother and his later wife, Mabel Hubbard, were both deaf. Bell therefore swam in the world of phonetics and sound. This was the decisive factor in his creation of a unit to transmit sound. This is rarely cited or remarked upon.
For Alexander sound was not an abstract concept, but a physical, mechanical displacement of matter. Could sound be harnessed? Could it be transmitted? How does it work? How does our ear actually function and process sound? Bell’s curious mind explored. More here
Benjamin Franklin is sometimes taught in the ‘education’ system, usually now with disdain. The propaganda often centres on Ben flying a kite in a storm and getting electrified. This is as silly and irrelevant as Newton’s fictitious apple which never fell on his head and was invented as part of his mythos some 100 years after he died. The details of Franklin’s physics is of course never discussed. If ‘space’ between particles existed or if there was a ‘vacuum’, Franklin’s experiments would have failed. They succeeded but no one is taught why.
The simple reason Franklin is ignored is that he proved the aether existed and knew that energy in the aether could be harvested. Franklin anticipates Tesla. More here
