Hi, I understand that Nikola Tesla disagreed with Einstein's relativity theories. What was the disagreement? What is the latest thinking on this? Do various Physicists favor relativistic Physics, others favor non-relativistic Physics and some favor a combination of both? What are some practical applications of these concepts?
Please e-mail your replies to me at czfz@earthlink.net. Thank you. Carl Zimmerman, USA

I've gotten to the point that my stomach knots up every time I hear the name Nikola Tesla.

He was a great man, and was one of the most intelligent inventors in history, but he is NOT the god the conspiracy nuts make him out to be. I'm soooooo sick of hearing about HAARP and the tungska event and beamed power... Admire the man for what he DID do, not what he didn't do...

So he disagreed with Einstein... Lots of people did.

Relativistic physics has been confirmed by experiments for nearly the last century... Non-relativistic Physics, is newtonian physics and is good enough to use under all but the most exterme circumstances...
