I'm not sure if it was the "WOW" signal or another later event. But wasn't one alleged "message" simply happening because of a microwave in the break room?

Yeah that was a few years ago in Australia. The “message” was actually interference caused by the microwave being popped open while it was cooking.

I’m sure Tesla still would have thought it was aliens.

Except Jupiter really does produce radio emissions. Not an unreasonable explanation and a far more likely one. In the 1930s, Karl Jansky, an employee of Bell Telephone Laboratories, built a large

Tesla says aliens. 

I'm not sure I'm more intelligent than him.

That or maybe it was his heating system or clouds or Tesla knew nothing???

 

We can already tell that as your logic is "he said so".  Brilliant detective work.

Yeah you can spare me the “oh dear”. It doesn’t impress me and doesn’t do anything to add the slightest bit of legitimacy to your position.

Weird? Odd? A bizarre, not to mention hypocritical reaction from someone who just posted a conspiracy theory about Trump’s grandfather cleaning out Tesla’s hotel room. Right. Gotta admit that’s a new one for me. Do you believe that silliness because you think Trump has some secret knowledge about aliens and this is the way you think he obtained it? Talk about weird and odd.

And no **** Lowell wasn’t Tesla. That wasn’t even remotely the point. I was trying to give you some context for the time in which they lived. I thought that actually was obvious but ok. Did you deliberately misunderstood that because it might’ve  actually lead to a productive conversation?  Since you don’t get it for whatever reason let me spell it out: They both lived in an era where “aliens” was a fashionable answer for space related things that were not properly understood or known at the time, like the fact that Jupiter emits radio waves. Something else I noticed you failed to respond to. Probably because it spoils the fantasy by offering a likely explanation. No, we don’t exactly know why Tesla thought aliens but we can make pretty good guesses. But if you want to think the reason was he was talking to them or whatever more power to you.

The ultimate point, since you either deliberately ignored it or it sailed straight over your head, I don’t really care at this point, was that it doesn’t matter how intelligent or not a person is. Without access to certain facts, it’s impossible to have an informed opinion about something.  
 

 

 

Oh dear. :)

Just double checked, it was Trump's uncle. Cleared out Tesla’s hotel room and spent 3 days checking everything out.

Science is the best tool we have when investigating the world we live in.  It literally built the world around you, all of it.

Science made the little super computer you always carry around with you that keeps you connected to an entire planet... and even some of the other ones out there if you want it to!

I agree.

All science really needs to make it work is an enquiring mind.

There are 0 details about Tesla's apparatus and how it worked, what kind of frequencies was capturing.

Not arguably, he was the most renown scientist of his time, but in terms of knowledge, experience and understanding of modern communications and frequencies, he was an ant comparing to an elephant. That signal could have been anything from earth or celestial noises

Is that what they taught you about science in school?

There's quite a bit more to it than that.

yep, like I keep saying in here:

Science needs real data to study/ enquire about, .

Science can not & will not spend precious time, effort & money on looking into stories!
