I enjoy all the creative and novel articles and images I find here. I believe the USA is the most wonderful country in the Galaxy, and our independence and freedoms are to be cherished and protected. Entrepreneurial attitudes, hard work and the sacrifices of our forefathers have made America a great place to live over the last 232 years. I am blessed to be a part of it.

Tesla and His Wireless Energy

Science – The mystery surrounding Tesla has fascinated me for a long time. This video is a good summary of his amazing life. For some reason it is still rather hard to delve into some of the hidden secrets about this genius. Why the attempt to erase him from history after his death?
