Nikola Tesla, the great electrician,
thinks it possible that planets may OK
change signals with one another and has
observed electrical phenomena which
lead him to accept the possibility that
we are even now being signaled by
some other planet, perhaps Mars. Such
speculations sound very incredible to
the average mind, but great scientists,
who have fuller realizations OF tie
immensities OF the unknown, receive
such speculations much more In a
spirit Of modesty. The common opinion
allows itself TO assume the position that
nearly everything is known, but none
know better than the most profound
students OF the very imperfect character
Of much that is given out as scientific
knowledge and Of the vast possibilities
that are yet left for the requirement OF
more knowledge.
