There’s a war going on; a war of which you may not be aware. No, I’m not talking about Iran, or Syria, or North Korea. I’m not even talking about the Illuminati or the New World Order. And I’m not talking about the war on drugs, either. I’m talking about the war between fans of the fathers of electromagnetic theory: Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla. For the record, I come down squarely in the Tesla camp, though if you’re an Edisonite, I’ll happily forgive that lapse in good judgment on the basis that you may not know just how awesome Tesla was.
And since today (February 11) is Thomas Edison’s birthday, I figured it would be a good time to take on a subject that involves the work of his one-time protégé and long-time nemesis.

Nikola Tesla was a genius. He revolutionized EM theory, and according to some, he tapped into fundamental energies and processes that no one else had or has ever considered. His inventions have forever changed the world and have provided the foundation for so much of our modern electronics-based culture.
Many of his inventions and EM equipment have been the basis for research in physics, and thus he has had a profound impact on our understanding of the world around us. Though some have taken his work beyond what most consider science. A man named John Hutchison is one of those people.
