Clockwork Symphony: Being a True and Factual Account of the Marvels of the Machine Age

July 10th, 2009

One hundred and fifty three years ago, today, a great man was born. Through his life he learned things and postulated ideas that would not come to fruition until only recently. He is well known for his contributions in the field of robotics and remote controls. Radar and Computer Technology. But he is most remembered for his greatest achievements in the harnessing and control of electricity. Many credit Thomas Alva Edison for the invention of the incandescent light-bulb. But had it not been for this man's research and experiments into wireless electric transfer.

Nikola Tesla.

A man many claimed to be a mad scientist due to his penchant for what we know today as Fringe Sciences. His works are the foundation of the radio and many claim his theories explain how UFOs and various pseudo-sciences actually function. Whether there is truth to this matter or not remains to be seen.

Nikola Tesla died Sixty Seven years ago. Likely Within the lifetime of your parents or grandparents as you read this. At the age of 86 he died an impoverished man.

Let us all remember well, this man. And let us all mark this day, the day of his birth, as a day of marvel and wonder. A day for inventors and idealists to create a better world. In the following weeks and months we, the Clank Crew, will build a different world.. A World of Speculative fiction wherein one might meet Nikola Tesla. Where one could see the fantastic realm created in a world where "Fringe" sciences are as real as any and their rules and laws are applied to daily living.

Welcome to the Clockwork Symphony. Welcome to the Future's Past.

I think he would have been happy to see how people of today can embrace the past and the future in conventional and unconventional ways. It's a shame some of the greatest contributors to humanity are so often overlooked or even looked down on until after they've passed. x.x

Tesla gave the world much more than he's credited for. Its nice to see him finally getting the recognition he deserves.

A man so ahead of his time, with such a huge influence over the modern world. There aren't too many other people like that.

I greatly admire him.
