Nikola Tesla and obsession 3, 6, 9

The numbers 3, 6, 9 are associated with the life of genius Nikola Tesla because he thinks they are the key to decipher the secret of the universe.

Nikola Tesla (July 10, 1856 - January 7, 1943) was a Serbian-American inventor, electrical engineer, and mechanical engineer. He is a futurist and is considered one of the most creative and insane scientists in history. All of his designs - about 300 of which are patented - are forward-looking and that's why people call him "the inventor of the 20th century".

In his work, Tesla always seeks to uncover and exploit the mysteries of the world. He did it with electricity - with some inventions still present today such as alternating current (AC) or the induction motor - and believed he could do the same with the numbers 3. , 6, 9.

"If you know the awesomeness of 3, 6, 9, you can hold the key to unlocking the secrets of the universe," Tesla emphasized. No one can say whether that theory is right or wrong, but one thing is for sure, he is really obsessed with numbers. So what do 3, 6, 9 mean and why does Tesla consider them so important?

According to All That's Interesting , these three numbers are related to a mathematical model and also to human history . If you start from 1, then double 1 becomes 2, double 2 becomes 4, double 4 becomes 8. we get a sequence of numbers 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128. As can be seen, 3, 6 and 9 are not included in this model. Scientist Marko Rodin believes they represent a "flux field", or a vector from the third and fourth dimensions.

Three numbers, especially 3 , also appear frequently in human history, from the pyramid with triangular faces to the Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) in Christianity. Tesla herself once claimed that the "energy, frequency and vibration" triad contained the secrets of the universe.

In everyday life, Tesla also manifests his obsession in many ways. He used to walk three times around the building before stepping inside, washing dishes with 18 towels (18 divisible by 3, 6 and 9) and only staying in hotel rooms where numbers were divisible by 3. he ended up in room 3327.

Tesla's theory 3, 6, 9 is still alive today. For example, on the social networking platform Tik Tok, some users try to achieve their dreams by writing down what they want 3 times in the morning, 6 times in the afternoon and 9 times in the evening. This may be a far cry from what Tesla envisioned in terms of what those three numbers mean, but it's proof that his ideas haven't faded over time.
