Nikola Tesla, inventor: “If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration”

Nikola Tesla amazed humanity when he developed the alternating current system, in other words, the foundation of our current electrical supply. Want to charge your phone? Plug it in and thank Tesla. Feeling cold and have a heater nearby? Connect it to the outlet and Tesla would surely smile. If the United States ever suffers a blackout, Tesla would turn in his grave wondering why the government has not explained what went wrong with his invention.

Now Tesla surprises humanity once again, this time in Diario AS, setting aside his technical brilliance to highlight his words as the patron saint of electricity. He was a man ahead of his time, speaking about vibrations and energy long before tarot readers made such ideas fashionable.

Tesla’s good vibrations

On one occasion, the master of lightning bolts declared: “If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration.”

As if he were living one hundred, two hundred, or even a thousand years in the future, Tesla suggested that the world is better understood by listening to it and feeling it. What good is touching WiFi? What matters are the signals that reach your phone.

Such was his contribution to the development of our world that the manga Record of Ragnarok included him as one of humanity’s greatest representatives, pitting him against the demon Beelzebub in a battle to preserve life on Earth. In the manga, Tesla appears as he truly was: a human being who fights with knowledge, capable of standing up to hell itself. The outcome of that battle will not be revealed here, but it cements the inventor’s image as nothing less than an enlightened figure who gave us a better way of life.

In the end, the prophet of the electrical future arrived before anyone else. He was a genius in his lifetime, a prodigious scientist who deserves not one, not two, but perhaps a hundred articles recalling his story, achievements, and quotations like the one that headlines this piece.

We close with another of his remarks, dedicated to his esteemed colleagues in the scientific profession, for whom he held deep respect and admiration: “The scientists of today think deeply instead of clearly. One must be sane to think clearly, but one can think deeply and be quite insane.”
