RE: The Defining Breakthroughs of Human History

in #history8 years ago

I would like to refute parts of this article. We have suppressed many inventions along the way.

  1. Electricity
    4a. Tesla's high-voltage, wireless electricity using the Earth's magnetic field
    4b. High-voltage, counter-rotating experiments leading to self-levitating craft.
    4c. Various electrical circuits that could have led to free-energy, or energy from the ether, or energy from the zero-point-field.
    (no number) Starlite https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starlite
    (no number) Molten salt nuclear fission reactor - which could have revolutionized power generation across the world, but was not a "breeder" reactor that made bomb-grade material
    (no number) Fleischmann–Pons cold fusion - suppressed by the "hot" fusion scientists dependent upon government funding
    (no number) Russian torsion physics
    (no number) Thomas Henry Moray's crystal and vacuum-tube based energy generators
    (no number) Stanley Meyer's water fuel cell

and the list goes on...

I agree that over the years a lot of tech has been suppresses. But this article was about the stuff that was not suppressed and that allowed humanity to progress.

We have lost more than we have kept in inventions. I am trying to say that humanity would be even more, if more inventions were not suppressed or lost. What about "Greek fire" vs napalm? "Eternal flame" vs LED lights? "Powdered gold" vs monoatomic gold? We cannot replace these today, let alone all the fuel-efficiency devices.
If we could get get a washing machine and a toilet to the people making less than $2 a day, think how we could revolutionize their areas of the world!

Unfortunately, that is true. We have lost a lot of technologies to time. Some were due to nature's fault and some were due to mankind. In fact a lot were due to mankind.
