amon, i understand what you're saying and it makes sense, but look at it like this.
say me, you and.... ross perot (the first name that came to mind) are standing in a room. Time travelers from the future go back into the past and kill Ross Perot's parents without our knowledge. We would all be standing there, but the relative moment Ross's parents were killed in the past, he would simply disintigrate right before our eyes. It could be argued that he would simply not be in the room with us and that we would have no knowledge of him having ever existed, but that doesnt make sense in the context of us just being in the room. Thats why I think great harm could be caused to the space-time continuum when you go about changing things like that.

I'm sure other people have used the term memes .. :)

that doesn't make sense then. cause go back even FURTHER to when Ross's parents died. they both would have encountered their killers and ross never would have been borne...travel along time itself heading to where me and you are in the room...ross isn't there. ross wouldn't be. i see what you're saying though...
its a tough situation.

Now THAT was in interesting read... the whole explosion in Russia thing is fascinating... I doubt it was his evil ray of horror and death, but it's pretty funny that he thought it was. What a wacko. I bet it was aliens.

"Six years later, the onset of the First World War caused Tesla to reconsider. He wrote to President Wilson, revealing his secret death ray test. He offered to rebuild the weapon for the War Department, to be used purely as a deterrent. The mere threat of such destructive force, he claimed, would cause the warring nations to agree at once to establish lasting peace."
The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the force!!

I just read it all, very interesting. Although the website leans towards backing tesla up, it remains reasonably impartial and accepts the possibility of his later ideas being nuts.

You think the Tesla stuff is far fetched? Read this, http://www.crystalinks.com/montauk1.html
It's great, the way it says thing like, "Records prove this" and "This is a known fact" without referencing anything external. Possibly the best is where in the same paragraph the guy claims that he had a technical capacity in the project then mis-spells "degaussing".

Levi strauss... the pants people? erm, no. ...do they use "meme" in an ad campaign or something?
If they decided to call the force "the power" instead, I wonder if the script would read:
The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the "power of the power"!!
or would the change it to the "force of the power"...
that tesla link seemed like some fiction story someone wrote with surreal characters from reality. ufo's, aliens, invisibility? plus the grammar was weak. i stopped reading 3/4 through, and wouldn't give it much credit as a source of information about tesla. . though it's a warning to be questionable of any sources credibility

nahh. Claude Levi-Strauss .. but i don't actually think he used memes .. got a bit muddled up, he uses some other terms like that (forget what they are now, maybe mythemes or something) . he's an anthropologist/structuralist

the tesla guy is real, as is his work
of course, i have my doubts about the death-ray and him being the cause behind that giant explosion in siberia.. that just sounds like typical conspiracy theorist bullshit
but the story about the lightning and all the other weird stuff (ie man-made 'St. Elmo's Glow) going on around his place is true and well-accepted as far as i know, and not actually as weird as it sounds...

There's this band Man or Astroman and they have a 6ft tesla coil their bassist built. The last show when he made tesla spark you could smell the ions in the air. It's a wicked show every time..they also blow shit up on stage...good music too!
