NIKOLA TESLA THUNDERMAKER

" - Nikola Tesla, 1898 THE CHAMBERMAIDS at the Hotel New Yorker liked to avoid the shabby old gentleman in Room 3327. For one thing, he was forever picking up sick pigeons and bringing them back to nurse them. And he mumbled about mad things: flowering deserts, giant power stations, death rays that could melt a city, radio signals from distant planets. Only his birds were with him when he died in his bed on Thursday the 7th of January 1943, age 86, just another tired old man life had used up.

But because of Nikola Tesla, there were efficient electrical transmission systems in the world, and television and radar and remote control and neon lighting and everyday household appliances, and there were technological foundations for inventions yet unimagined. " By that time, 1917, Tesla was already sunken into embittered self-exile from the world, and he would spend the rest of his days a hermit. P. S.

Impact of Fluoride on Neurological Development in Children - July 25, 2012 -Features - News at HSPH. July 25, 2012 — For years health experts have been unable to agree on whether fluoride in the drinking water may be toxic to the developing human brain.

Impact of Fluoride on Neurological Development in Children - July 25, 2012 -Features - News at HSPH

Extremely high levels of fluoride are known to cause neurotoxicity in adults, and negative impacts on memory and learning have been reported in rodent studies, but little is known about the substance’s impact on children’s neurodevelopment. In a meta-analysis, researchers from Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) and China Medical University in Shenyang for the first time combined 27 studies and found strong indications that fluoride may adversely affect cognitive development in children. Based on the findings, the authors say that this risk should not be ignored, and that more research on fluoride’s impact on the developing brain is warranted. The study was published online in Environmental Health Perspectives on July 20, 2012. * This sentence was updated on September 5, 2012. Read a September 2012 statement by the authors.

As beleaguered as the U.S. space program has been, it seems like our interest in all things beyond has never been higher.

How to Find an Alien Civilization

From Curiosity to Bobak Ferdowsi’s mohawk to the outpouring of support after Neil Armstrong’s death, we’re a collective space case, especially here at Wired. Curiosity’s landing site was named for Ray Bradbury, whose visions of Mars prominently featured advanced alien civilizations. So far, no Martians have walked up to say hello, but it’s a reminder of an old question: Are we alone? That’s the subject of Information is Beautiful‘s latest interactive infographic.

To make the equation useful, of course, we have to have some idea of what values (for how many stars are born each year, say) to plug in. You’ll likely find that the estimate of communicating civilizations in the galaxy — and the universe — is very high.
