wolven7Finished reading the Tesla biography. Not as depressing, at the end, as I'd feared.
In fact, it had a very hopeful tone, looking toward the future applications of his particle beam and plasma (ball-lightning) research, and talking about the papers housed in the most secure of three libraries of an unnamed "well-known defense research agency."
That actually made me chuckle. I'm going to have to talk to my dad about that, as this book was written around the time he was working on things like that.
It made me melancholy, but not sad. A yearning for something more, and a will to accomplish it.
I think that's a good thing.
