FASTER THAN A SPEEDING LIGHT (E. E. Richards)

Is it necessary that the speed of light limit our communications? Are there other star-systems awaiting our contact? Is the SETI (Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) program realistic in using transverse or electromagnetic (radio) waves, which are light-speed limited? Why search microwave frequencies for distant life when the detected human biological frequencies are in the ELF (Extremely Low Frequency, 3-300 Hz.) spectrum? Are there alternatives which offer possible answers to the above questions? Yes! Join me as I unfold evidence for a new direction in communications technology; I will present some easy to construct circuits for you to begin listening to the galaxy. There is a possibility that in our own neighborhood of the galaxy there are other creative beings searching, imagining or wondering who else might be out there in the cosmos. Anyone for extreme DX?

What amazing changes I have seen in the realm of amateur radio since the 'ham bug' first struck about forty years ago! Communications technologies are continually changing, each month's magazine issue and each new equipment catalog show this. Can any of us possibly guess what our communications technology might reveal in the next forty or so years? It is clear that our imagination unfolds in many unexpected directions. What new and unlikely challenges await our experimentation for the technologies of our grandchildren?

I have been in awe of radio since I was able to work stations around the world with a Hallicrafters S38D receiver and a Globe Chief 90A transmitter running 75 watts, both connected to piece of wire in our back yard on the coast of Maine. The unknown and impossible have always intrigued me, for in them lie questions worth asking and answers unexpected. Why are we limited by velocity of light transmissions? Surely the Universe must communicate with Itself in REAL TIME, not having to wait billions of light years for a far away response. If so, how is that instantaneous communications performed? Please join me in my personal discoveries.

Let us jump back a few centuries to the renowned Sir Isaac Newton, who proposed that gravity is a universal force; and that everything influences everything else. Newton stated, "that the powers of gravitation arose from the impulses of a subtle medium that is diffused over the universe, and penetrates the pores of grosser bodies". This implies that all matter is intimately connected to all other matter in the universe. Everything is connected to everything else through this 'action at a distance'. To the present day there is little more than that known about the real cause of gravity.

"I will not work for the present no more, I am working for the future"- said Tesla to journalists gathered in New York City more than seven decades ago. – "The future is mine!" Inventor of alternating current, polyphase engines and generator, reversible magnetic field, radio, teleautomatics, inventor, on whose patents energetics of XX century is properly based, worked alone on explanation of cosmic processes during decades, having a desire to combine material and spiritual theoretically like he did it in his practical discoveries.

Mentioning of Nikola Tesla's name now mainly connected with the so-called Tesla coil, inductive engine and international unit symbol to measure the force of magnetic field. Many facts of his life and his extraordinary creative gift are forgotten.

The most productive period of his creative work Tesla spent in USA. He had patented more than 300 inventions in different countries. Many of them still were not repeated; for example, receiver of radiant energy. We know nothing definite about its principle of operation besides that may be it is the question of transformer of energy produced by cosmic rays. In the period from 1899 until 1900, he devoted himself to the research of electromagnetic oscillations of very low frequencies in the specially built laboratory in Colorado Springs. Two years later he began to build a world relaying station on Long Island near New York and he didn't finish it. This experiment was financed by American steel magnate J.P. Morgan, Tesla's friend. After this project was closed in 1905, Tesla up to his death preferred to work alone, far from people's sight. This period was not without new discoveries. Just at that time being a mature scientist he came to fundamental conclusions, which should become a new milestone in future science? We know from history that when scientific thought finds itself at crossroads, the scientists address to the past seeking for support and inspiration. Let's try to answer many important questions.

How Tesla came to his discoveries? These discoveries are: influence of super low-frequency electromagnetic waves on biological systems, especially on the work of cerebrum, coalescence of energy structures, the so called "fire balls" from inductive field of primary and secondary electromagnetic coils, superconductivity of natural and artificial mediums, the so called wireless energy transfer and so on.

What are the main axioms of Tesla's cosmology? How do they follow from his metaphysics? How did he apply them in his physical experiments? Why theorists and empiricists of modern physics of time are so interested in reconstruction of Tesla's missing theory of physical reality and his view on electromagnetic phenomena? Why Tesla didn't formulate his scientific theory and didn't publish it? Can Tesla's sight on ethic aspect of scientific discoveries help to ennoble modern natural science, especially physics, which is in crisis of ideas now? What can we expect from studying of Tesla's conceptions in near future? Whether it will be an overestimate to say that Tesla in 1900 grounded the possibility of global information-oriented society in his famous project - World-wide system? Whether it is actually technical and technological basis of that, we call now "New World order"? Shall we consider Tesla to be a spiritual precursor of a new scientific and technological civilization named as Tesliana? Technology of "time design" rules in Tesliana, where the time-shift or rather asynchronicity of various levels of physical processes will be the only and inexhaustible energy source.

Tesla's research method

Let's return to the middle XIX century, to the little village Smilyan in Lika, which was Austrian-Hungarian province. In this village on July10, 1856 Milutin Tesla, Serbian Orthodox priest, saw the birth of his forth child Nikola.

Tesla's family didn't allow him to study in Polytechnic Institute, especially father, who required him to be a priest. Nikola felt a deep and insatiable vocation to be an electrical engineer and he felt sick due to this disagreement. When crisis came and it became evident that he can die, father finally agreed with desire of his son. Soon Tesla recovered as if it was a miracle and was absorbed in inventive fantasy. After mental efforts he began to suffer from a strange phenomenon. He saw clear visions sometimes accompanied by strong light flash. It is the ability of people who have parapsychological power -
