you see how you are giving me just a "statement" we just don't know what was his theory in detail and he did offered all his help to the US military,


and he made a lot of mistakes too,


back in those days there was no certainty about a lot of things and the electromagnetic phenomena was not completely understood to a point that made tesla create erroneous conclutions and even calculations for example he was wrong about nuclear energy, he thought that it was impossible , from his observations working with super high voltages he never saw any atomic "rupture" and erroneusly concluded that the feat was impossible, another example is his views on radioactivity

> Now, according to my theory, a radioactive body is simply a target which is continuously bombarded by infinitesimal bullets projected from all parts of the universe, and if this, then unknown, cosmic radiation could be wholly intercepted, radioactivity would cease.
