Is Tesla's missing document so scary that it will never see light?

After being found dead in a hotel room in New York in January 1943, the representative of the US government's War Asset Management Office decided to confiscate all of his research materials. 86-year-old physical genius wants this eccentric part.

It was at the time of World War II that it was escalating to its climax, and Tesla claimed to have invented a weapon with the name 'Death Ray' , an invaluable asset in wartime at that time. To prevent this deadly weapon from falling into the wrong hands, the US government immediately seized all assets and materials from Tesla's hotel room in New York.

Just like the content in it, what happens to Tesla's files is still a mystery, and evokes all kinds of conspiracy theories. After years of cover up, under the approval of the 2016 Freedom of Information Act, the FBI finally decided to publicly publish 250 pages in Tesla's booklet. But despite being published publicly, there are still many unanswered questions and there are still a lot of documents that are said to have 'disappeared' from this file.

In 2016, the FBI finally decided to publicly publish 250 pages in Tesla's booklet.

Three weeks after Tesla's death, John G. Trump, an electrical engineer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), was sent to evaluate his research papers to determine if it was really worth it. .

After review and evaluation, Dr. John G. Trump said that Tesla's research efforts were only theoretical and there were no documents proving the feasibility of the theory, or giving the method. to turn this theory into reality.

At that time, in addition to rumors and conflicting opinions of the public, the FBI relied on Dr. Trump's reports to conclude that Tesla's weapon did not exist. But in fact, the US government was divided by this file by different points of comment. Marc Seifer, author of The Life & Times of Nikola Tesla biography, said there was a military group at Wright Patterson air base in Dayton, Ohio, including Brigadier General LC Craigee, whose comments were completely different. Full of Tesla's idea.

Seifer said: 'Craigie is the first pilot to pilot an army jet, and his words are very influential. According to him, Tesla's deadly weapon is real. But the remaining factions have completely rejected this idea. "

Currently, Tesla's documents are in the Nikola Tesla museum.

Documents that have disappeared from Tesla's file are also questions that have not been answered yet. When Tesla died, he left the property to his nephew, Sava Kosanovic, Yugoslav ambassador to the United States. At that time, the FBI feared Kosanovic was trying to hold Tesla's technology and used it as a weapon against the US. They even intend to arrest him to prevent this from happening.

In 1952, after the US court declared Kosanovic a legitimate heir to his uncle's property, all of Tesla's files were taken to Belgrade, Serbia, and are currently in the Nikola museum. Tesla. But while the FBI has confirmed that there are 80 Tesla files left, only 60 episodes are returned to this physicist's hometown. Seifer said that it was possible that they had clamped 80 episodes into 60 episodes, maybe the government had kept those 20 secret files.

During the five parts of the Tesla biography series, Seifer shook hands with his colleagues, Dr. Travis Taylor, an astrophysicist, and Jason Stapleton, an investigative reporter. Together they searched for missing documents and explored the truth about the government's view of X-rays, Tesla's war weapon.

Some files of this famous inventor are still missing.

Mr. Seifer said: 'Although Dr. John G. Trump rejected Tesla's ideas immediately after his death, the military still studied and incorporated X-ray weapons in decades. after World War II. More notably, X-rays have become a source of inspiration for Ronald Reagan's defensive strategic initiatives; At the same time appeared the famous movie: Star Wars. If the government is still using Tesla's idea to power its technology, it's perfectly reasonable to explain why some of the inventors of this famous inventor are still missing. "

There is evidence that President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Henry Wallace, vice president of the company discussed with his adviser on Tesla's research, especially those related to wireless transmission between electricity. and X-rays.

At the same time, Seifer and his colleagues discovered the role of Vannevar Bush, whose President Franklin D. Roosevelt pointed to the top of the Manhattan project, studying Tesla's documents. Seifer's research team also made a pretty good assumption, that the president himself met Tesla directly before he died.

Although some of his eccentric initiatives are still unknown, Tesla's huge intellectual legacy is undeniable.

Seifer, Taylor and Stapleton visited important landmarks in Tesla's life to dig deeper into this eccentric physicist. From the lab in Colorado Springs to his last residence, the New Yorker Hotel; and the mysterious 'wireless tower' he designed at Wardenclyffe, Long Island. They also went to California, where some of Tesla's breakthrough ideas were born. Many of them are thought to be unrealistic, even crazy. But those same ideas have helped spur some booming industries and take top spots in Silicon Valley.

Although some of his eccentric initiatives are still unknown, Tesla's huge intellectual legacy is undeniable. It exists in almost all electronic devices that we use every day and will undoubtedly be the foundation for future technology development.

Talking about Tesla's influence on science in particular and humanity in general, Seifer said: 'Tesla is the foundation of the concept of wireless technology. Therefore, the navigation system uses radio waves, encryption technology, remote control robots, all based on Tesla's technology ".
