It is paradoxical, yet true, to say, that the more
we know, the more ignorant we become in the absolute sense, for it is only

applied universally.

They laughed at me in 1897 when I told them about
the cosmic ray. Fifty years ago they attempted to discredit my discovery of the
rotating magnetic field and my system of power transmission by alternating
currents. They called me crazy when I predicted the radio and when I sent the
first impulse around the world they said it couldn’t be done.
