We think best when we bring opposites together, when we realize that all these realities, one inside the other, are somehow connected. That’s how the wonder and amazement that are so necessary to both poetry and philosophy come about. A “truth” detached and purified of pleasures of ordinary life is not worth a damn in my view. Every grand theory and noble sentiment ought to be first tested in the kitchen—and then in bed, of course.

A glow of nitrogen fills the atmosphere. Tesla is photographed seated in front of his magnifying transmitter in Colorado Springs. ca. 1899

The magnifying transmitter is an adaptation of the Tesla coil, designed to create standing waves of electrical energy that could be harnessed by tuned receiving circuits. Tesla's goal was to transmit electrical energy wirelessly over long distances, utilizing the natural resonant frequency of the Earth. This device was a significant part of his experiments in wireless telecommunications and power transfer.
