The funny thing is that Jesus was at times also called "Lightbringer" (ie: Lucifer) since he was bringing God's light to the people...

Tesla fucked birds.So while I find a credible source who studies Tesla and likes him, you've just kept repeating your inverse square law nonsense without understanding the counter argument. And sure you want to keep wasting more time on this since you're writing walls of text back at me, don't pretend you're not fired up on exhibiting all that high school knowledge you got there. If you on the other hand don't want to waste your own time I suggest you find someone who isn't a fanboy of Tesla and has written expertly on why the local or global systems would not work. Until then I'd rather trust the expert than you. And just because you have trash TV channels that are again the product of capitalism and its need for sensationalism and ratings doesn't mean that TV appearances on credible science shows should be discarded.
Of course you knew nothing about this man before you shat on him for being excited about his hobbies, and now you're just backtracking. Enough with the character assassination already, shit on me if you must but stop insulting people who've worked in a field for their whole life because you refuse to back down.
My post had a very simple example which you seem to understand in your own crude way.Lightning clouds are natures little balls of piss. So there you go buddy, it already exists. There's no reason that we as humanity couldn't engineer us some balls of our own. Based on simple basic rules like the rules of parallel circuits it's then clear that it would be relatively easy to direct that energy into useful sectors by using more conductive materials than air (basically anything else) as antennas.
This is for the local system.
The global one was debunked even during Teslas own time and the last bit of doubt of the theoretical possibilities was cemented when the low-frequency ionospheric waveguide effect was discovered which would have been impossible if everything dissipated as the inverse square suggests.
Lord Kelvin used the same argument as you are doing and became convinced he was wrong later on as the scientific magazine The Electrical experimenter recounted in 1919.
"The Tesla Collection" - "The True Wireless". ELECTRICAL EXPERIMENTER, May 1, 1919

Though I doubt you'll be as humble as him. Because to you this isn't about proving or disproving Tesla, but beating your meat to Capitalism. Which incidentally with your reflections on TV-shows in America proved has more faults than just this one in fucking with the mental faculties of your citizens.
edit: You're even liking the post by SkeetNyeet which was total nonsense. The technology will never allow for beams to be directed to individual housholds, let alone appliances, this time precisely because the inverse square law. You'd either need tens of thousands of prohibitively expensive satellites just to service a small country or you'd be losing the effect if you dispersed the beams energy on a wider area. Dude was mostly just shit posting so I let it slide, you're trying to act serious but don't know shit.
None of his articles suggest otherwise either.'
EDIT: If you knew anything about electricity what you would be focusing on the fact that transmitting current through air creates massive losses through dissipation of energy as heat, because of its high resistance. I guess I'm helping you a bit since I feel this discussion is already over. Meh, dunno why we are talking about this on this kind of forum anyway. But again, you have an other agenda than the openly declared one so maybe its that.

It was indeed extremely fickle back in the beginning, when there were extensive efforts in order to assimilate the creeds and beliefs of pagan religions into christianity in order to make evangelization efforts easier in the long run. And let's not forget the concilium where all important religious figureheads reunited to discuss absolutely everything and set it in stone. From penance for confession to the days when easter was celebrated.

Also Yeats was a great poet and Crowley was at best mediocre. I bet there was some jealousy there.
The traditional version I have heard of this is the opposite, that Peter preferred to be crucified head down because he was unworthy to die in the same way as Jesus. This was recounted by Origen and originated in the Acts of Peter, an apocryphal scripture that never made it into the Bible.

Both versions seem to be true to an extent. Roman soldiers decided to crucify him upside down to avoid making him a martyr (because why the fuck else would they do that) and Pete appreciated that because he wasn't on the level of big J.

It's possible he just died in prison and was never crucified at all. In any event, the occurrence has no real historical evidence for it and isn't in the Bible. One of the main sources for the details is Origen, who was a nutcase who cut off his own balls, at least according to Eusebius. Of course, Eusebius was also a notorious liar.

Because certain diseases can fuck over other diseases, people who are sickle-cell carriers are less likely to suffer the worst effects of malaria.
In a similar vein, HIV counters leukemia by destroying excess white blood cells.
Although these are terrible ideas, researchers have and currently still are looking into both.

The College of Edinburgh was pioneer in the studies of anatomy and the human body, but this endeavor caused a major problem in the city during the 1700s. Due to the need of the university for fresh bodies, grave robbers started to appear everywhere, stalking every graveyard in the city. It was because of this that families were determined to protect the bodies of their recently deceased in two ways: they either had a crypt with sturdy iron doors or the family members would take turns defending the grave of their relative for 3-5 days. After that the body would have started to rot and it would be useless to the college.
It was due to this enormous boom in grave robbing that one particular small chapel in the old town of Edinburgh was abandoned eventually because it was believed to be haunted. Thanks to its proximity to the university, grave robbers hid the bodies there until morning when the police stopped patrolling, and then pick them up and sell the bodies for a hefty amount of money. Nowadays this chapel is a small marketplace, but it's still believed to be haunted.

Eventually, these measures became quite effective at curtailing grave robbing, to the point there was a severe shortage of bodies to dissect and a surplus of desperate students and teachers who weren't too choosy about the provenance of the bodies they used.
So in stepped two men named William Burke & William Hare, or as they became known, Burke & Hare, who took care of the shortage by making corpses out of living people. They got at least 16 before they got caught, and there may have been more. Hare turned king's evidence on Burke, who was hanged and, in a bit of poetic justice, himself dissected. Burke was released and, after one mob scene the police saved him from, disappeared into history never to be seen again.

Out of this murders, a new term was originated called "burking" that is the method Burke used to murder his victims. It consisted of asfixiating them by crushing their chest, which left very little evidence of the cause of the murder.
But Burke and Hare weren't the only ones that stepped in to supply the college with fresh bodies. I heard this story 7 years ago, so i'm not too reliable about it's accuracy because it's been a long time. Aside from them, there was a trio of burly Irishmen that were construction workers and willing to make some extra coin started a short lived murder spree. Their usual method was to get the victim as drunk as they could and then proceed to strangle them to death, a method that allowed them to kill around 9 people (if i remember correctly, i'm not too sure). Unfortunately they were caught and the three were tried on the accounts of all the bodies they delivered to the college, but one of them was a special case. It is said that one of the men was quite God fearing and he didn't felt right doing the grim business, and so for every victim the group killed he staged a small burial in memory of the victim. This was evident by the small wooden figures that were buried at the foot of the hill where Edinburgh castle is built, where they found one for each victim. This act full of regret allowed the people to grant him mercy, and while his two companions were hanged he was sent back to Ireland, never to set foot in England ever again.

The lead makes it sweet. Sweet, sweet cider.
There's a great horror comedy about a man stumbling into the life of being a corpse snatcher that is called "I Sell the Dead" it is absolutely worth watching.

In the 90s, Steven Spielberg was producing an animated adaptation of the musical (and poem collection) Cats, but the project never got passed the concept art phase as the studio that was set to do the animation, Speilberg's Amblimation, shut down. The studio is responsible for An American Tail: Fivel Goes West and Balto notably.
The guy who did most, if not all, the character designs is the character designer for Kung Fu Panda.

SJWs harassing public figures is nothing new. In 1986, when Madonna's "Papa Don't Preach" was the chart topper, a certain Gloria Allred, representing the National Organization for Women, demanded Madonna to write a pro-choice song. Planned Parenthood of NYC also demanded Warner Bros to donate 25% of the song's proceeds to them.
They were ignored.

The 1788 Doctor's Riot in New York City was started by a medical student waving a severed arm out of a window at a group of children. He yelled at one that it was his mother's, and when the boy and his father ran to the cemetery and found his mother's grave had indeed been robbed, they gathered a group of vigilantes and stormed the medical school. For days, mobs ran through the streets of New York City beating up anyone they though looked educated enough to be a doctor.

In ancient Greece in the city of Rhodes, there was an effort to create a crude beam of death by assembling an enormous mass of brass mirrors polished to a shine that would reflect an enormous beam of sunlight onto invading ships in order to burn them. Unfortunately, in practise the beam could at best burn the sails of the ships and not the actual ship.

The fact this never got made but that awful looking new one will be released soon is a fucking crime.In the 90s, Steven Spielberg was producing an animated adaptation of the musical (and poem collection) Cats, but the project never got passed the concept art phase as the studio that was set to do the animation, Speilberg's Amblimation, shut down.

Before it bombed abysmally, there was talks of a sequel to Batman and Robin where Coolio would have played Jonathan Crane/Scarecrow

I heard it was supposed to be Howard Stern.
Also the film didn't bomb financially, surprisingly. It made like an $80 million profit. It was the mass backlash that got the sequels killed

Women have a small chance of being born Tetrachromatic, being born with four color cones in their eyes instead of the usual three. It's believed that about 14% of women have Tetrachromacy allowing them to see, supposedly, up to 100x the amount of colors Trichromatic mammals can. People with eye damage to the lens or those who undergo bad laser eye surgery can become semi-tetrachrome since the human lens normally blocks a lot of blue-violet light that allows the reception of ultra-violet light. There people typically have to wear sunglasses outside all the time due to having a strong sensitivity to light.
Humans typically have Red, Green, and Blue color cones. I wish I could find out what Tetras supposedly have but there seems to be limited knowledge about the whole thing.
