“If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration.” -Nikola Tesla

This is the first of a multi-part series on Nikola Tesla, Serbian-American inventor, electrical and mechanical engineer, and futurist. Best known for his design of the alternating current electrical supply system (main reason for his feud with Thomas Edison), he also held some strange metaphysical beliefs, including an obsession with the numbers 369 as keys to the universe. 

Key Points:

• Historical information about Tesla himself, as well as his famous participation the the War of the Currents with his former-employer turned rival: Thomas Edison.
• In 2016, the FBI declassified hundreds of the files they impounded after his death.
• Contained in these files is information on a supposed “Death Ray” or partial beam weapon, as well as an impenetrable energy forcefield. 
• There are dozens of records of correspondence between the FBI and those who were after this information.
• The possibility of a strange connection with a woman who claimed Tesla was from the planet Venus.
