RESURRECT DEAD

ON PLANET JUPITER

If you came across this message embedded into the asphalt what would you think? Is is some kind of religious fervor? Maybe some kind of science fiction viral media campaign? The truth is that we may never know but that doesn’t mean we cant get close to the truth. Remember when you’re sightseeing looking down can be just as interesting as looking up.

We want to thank our guest Greg Hatem from Bazaar for joining us.

062-Tesla?

biography, History, Holiday, icon, movies, Mysteries, science, science fiction, Show notes, tesla

Nikola Tesla was a Serbian born inventor and genius whose creations are in almost every electrical gadget we use today. Although he had an amazing mind capable of engineering feats unfathomable by lesser men, he did not have a mind for business. Consequently he passed away almost penniless, being the last of many devastating tragedies in his life. It almost caused him to largely be forgotten in history books. It would take until the internet age where his legacy has taken on a second life being universally hailed as a technological (and nerd) icon.
