Nikola Tesla Books
IN SEARCH OF NIKOLA TESLA The senator sat back in his chair and watched me. I continued, 'You could talk about some new principle that's unknown to science. I really don't know anything about that. All I can do is judge the evidence I've been given and I can find nothing to support this idea of power transmission. I think that any other scientist would agree with me." Senator Carter was silent as he studied my face, then he smiled and said, 'Yes, you've been very fair.' I warmed to him; he seemed an honest and open man with a great deal of kindness in his face. I decided to go a little further. 'All these stories of Russian experiments, first it's weather modification and now it's mind control: I think that harms your case. You certainly believe that Tesla was right and I don't think I can persuade you otherwise but these stories destroy your credibility. Scientists are going to be frightened off by them. I really believe that the only way you can make a good case is by presenting some hard experimental facts; keep proper records of experiments there should be laboratory notebooks correctly kept. Give the scientists and engineers something to go on first - all these theories about wormholes and particle creation simply get in the way.' 'Well, this man Richardson is building a transmitter at Timmins; we'll just have to wait and see how it turns out,' the senator said. 'I hope that there are no hard feelings,' I added. 'No, you were just doing your job." For the remainder of the time we chatted about other things. I told him of my interest in the foundations of relativity theory and quantum mechanics and we speculated on the immense gravitational sources of power which may lie untapped in the universe. 109
