HYPER-DIMENSION

“Where  does the light go when a lamp goes out? No more trace. Hundreds of millions of planets in this galaxy, as many in the Second. Millions and millions of galaxies. All that in one  universe—our own universe.    And there are an infinite number—too many to be expressed, let alone to be  grasped—of universes, side by side, like pages in a book except thinner, in the hyper-dimension.”

— E.E. Smith, from THE CHILDREN OF THE LENS, the final book of the Lensman series originally serialized in the magazine Astounding beginning in 1947.

Why Nikola Tesla was the greatest geek EVER

THIS IS THE FIRST PAGE OF A VERY EXCELLENT ON-LINE “COMIC BOOK”  ABOUT NIKOLA TESLA.  READ THE ENTIRE THING HERE:  Why Nikola Tesla was the greatest geek who ever lived – The Oatmeal

Additional notes from the author:

  • If you want to learn more about Tesla, I highly recommend reading Tesla: Man Out of Time
  • Also, this Badass of the week by Ben Thompson is what originally inspired me to write a comic about Tesla. Ben’s also got a book out which is packed full of awesome.
  • There’s an old movie from the 80s on Netflix Instant Queue right now about Tesla: The Secret of Nikola Tesla. It’s corny and full of bad acting, but it paints a fairly accurate depiction of his life.
  • The drunk history of Tesla is quite awesome, too.
  • X-rays: just to clarify, Tesla did not discover x-rays, but he was one of the early pioneers in its research.
  • Cryogenic engineering: I’m referring to the cryogenic engineering that has to do with using liquified air to cool a coil and reduce its electrical resistance (Patent No. 11,865), not freezing people and waking them up in the future so they can fight Wesley Snipes.
  • Transistor: Tesla’s influence on the modern transistor can be found in patents 723,188 and 725,605. (a better explanation here)
  • Radio: Tesla was the nicest geek ever until he decided to sue Marconi a few years later. 8 months after Tesla died, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Marconi’s patents on the invention of radio. So Tesla eventually won that battle, although he was dead by then.
  • Tesla VS Edison: I could write a novel on the differences between Tesla and Edison, but seeing as how this comic is already huge I decided to leave many things out. For instance, Edison killed cats and dogs, but Tesla loved animals and had a cat as a child. Originally Tesla wanted to be a poet, but after getting zapped by static electricity from his kitty he was inspired to study the effects of electricity. One could vaguely construe that Tesla’s cat was responsible for the second industrial revolution, which arguably makes it the most awesome cat who ever lived. 
    Edison believed that fossil fuels were the future and that there were enough resources in South America to provide for the next 50,000 years. Tesla believed that renewable energy sources like hydroelectric, solar, and wind power were the future. This is remarkable because in the 1890s there was no such thing as “going green,” so Tesla’s ideas on conservation were very forward-thinking at the time.  (From OATMEAL)

WOMEN’S AUXILIARY VISITS THE OVERLORD HATCHERY

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

(Photo text:  Ethel Parsons (3rd from Left) leads a secret expedition of ladies from the Trenton N.J. Women’s Auxiliary Chapter of The Order of Omega Time Travel Cult to inspect a fetus incubation chamber facility on the planet Draco Alpha IV.  These chambers provide prenatal support for hatchlings of a race of multi-headed dragons known as the OverLords of Delgon who have been amassing their forces to invade Earth in the year 3,468 C.E..  The Overlords “feed” by meticulously and remorselessly torturing the bodies of each of their victims while sucking the spiritual life force from them.
It is hoped that the extinction of the human race by the Overlords can be avoided. However, surprising evidence gathered by The Women’s Auxiliary expedition revealed that the human race has already been infiltrated by The Overlords who have disguised themselves as bankers, priests and politicians.
Armed with the knowledge gathered from Ethel’s expedition it is hoped that the human race can rid our planet of the Overlord infestation now and prevent the painful, lingering death of all human beings when the full-scale invasion of The Overlords reaches Earth.)

PARALLEL UNIVERSES

parallel universeMostly Harmless is the FIFTH book in the Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy Trilogy, by Douglas Adams.  I read all of Douglas Adams books this year, a few for the second time.  I consider Adams to be one of the greatest philosophers in human history, although, like Mark Twain, he was considered to be a humorist.  Any valuable philosophy must expose the random absurdities of human existence, which is also a definition of humor.  –  LRS
