I came across this newpaper excerpt from 1901. SIGNALS FROM MARS. https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/NZTIM19010105.2.26 Was Telsa working for SETI at the time? |

The first radio pulsar was discovered on November 28, 1967. Tesla's "signal from Mars" was likely a pulsar, a signal unknown at the time. ![]() |

No doubt part of the fascination that included the stories of John Carter travelling through a portal to Barsoom. Love Tesla (he gave us AC and the concept of energy transference) but by 1910 he fell into obscurity and debt. (Shame on us for letting a brilliant mind fall so far.) No doubt he was a member of our SETI... The anciant Eygptians had already calculated with some accuracy the distance between earth and the moon and had some concept of electricity. I think there has alwways been a SETI secret society. Phewie... We can come out in the open now ;) |
