Andrei. I read a lot of fiction in my time. And I remember there was a story about a man turning into a wave. Not immediately, but after becoming aware of his wave nature. Don't you remember? It made a strange impression on me at the time. It was back in the early '80s somewhere. No! No way! That story was in the '50s.
No, of course I was born later. But the old fiction is something!
 

I also really like science fiction. It's not just because it's an opportunity, if only in the imagination, to travel to another time and place, but because you begin to see the world in a completely different way, and new ideas emerge.

Perhaps you are talking about one of Kir Bulychev's works, although many science-fiction writers have been muscling in on the "wave theory" in their works.

 
Svinozavr:
There's a film called The Prestige. IMHO - very good. Tesla is played by David Bowie. Mysterious...))

I think "The Prestige" is about illusionists and Tesla is just an episode in the film...
 
joo:

I don't remember! I remember that he was on a train, he was elaborating on wave theory, and then... anyway, a flash of pure energy, a silicon valley turned into glass...

In short. Lots of silicon and in the riddles of the organs. And all the man did was send them... no... the whole thing - fuck it.

The illusionist in the film used a machine that Tesla built for him. The magician's machine used simple copying, although Tesla actually had experiments with pure teleportation.

No, unfortunately.

PS. I'm a little bit confused by your referring to me in the plural. :), we were on a first-name basis.

 
Watched the film. It seems that N. Tesla had an open Ajna Chakra (the spiritual centre located in the area between the eyebrows), hence his unusual abilities: strong concentration, ability to visualise, going into an altered state of consciousness, transferring consciousness to other realities, predictions, etc. In addition, he could draw information from the "Akasik Archive", a so-called data bank of universal scale located in the upper part of the Causal World. In short, a normal superhuman. Cosmopolitan.
 
joo:

PS. Tesla is a great example of the "analogue" capabilities of the human brain. He viewed the world around him solely from a "wave" perspective, he didn't need mathematics to implement his ideas.

This is a profound delusion. Just read his memoirs. He knew mathematics perfectly, and when combined with 'visualisation', he solved complex mathematical problems simply in his mind, drawing formulas in his imagination, without using paper and pen.
 
Farnsworth:
This is a profound misconception. Just read his memoirs. He knew mathematics superbly, and when combined with "visualisation", he solved the most complex mathematical problems simply in his mind, drawing formulas in his imagination, without using paper and pen.
Ha! You and I will use the yellow papyrus...Nes pas?
