Does one get superhuman powers by chastity? They say that men who are virgins will be "awakened" or something. I think a lot of this comes from the fact that the greatest men of science have died virgins. Like Isaac Newton and Nicholai Tesla.

But as Tesla himself once said: "I am credited with being one of the hardest workers and perhaps I am, if thought is the equivalent of labour, for I have devoted to it almost all of my waking hours."

One would assume it is about them doing science 24/7 instead of doing other things rather than them being virgins? Virginity might be a result of only thinking about science and nothing else?

No, but he discovered radio wawes and alternating currents which makes it possible for you to watch youtube.

No one knows? I was thinking it could be biological, suc as using your hormones for motivation or something?

and tesla didn't discover anything. Ohm invented radio waves, and Einstein provided the theoretical underpinning for AC in his seminole 1905 papers.

Once you hit 30 as a virgin, you get wizard powers. Tesla maxed out his INT stats.

Feynman and Einstein were ruled by their dicks and brains in equal measure.

Stopped reading here, you COULD at least get the name right to make yourself look like less of a dummy, or underage.

It's Nikola, not damn Nicholai, Nicola etc. I don't understand how dumb or disregarding for accuracy these people have when they make a good point, but not cannot get one goddamn name right. I rarely see other historical genius's name misused as much as Tesla's and not to mention having his first name wrongly written.

This further proves that so called 'Tesla fans' are dumb, uneducated or children, and you don't give out a very good impression of yourself either OP.

But anyways OP, women are just a distraction away from science. It's amazing anyone ever accomplishes anything while trying to pry themselves from the grip of women.

Yes. Nietzsche died a virgin and thats why he was so obsessed with the will to power, athough all he did was write text.

That was the entire extent of his will to power, smashing, whipping and shaping the future world ...in words.

I don't get how Feynman is often portrayed as some kind of skirt-chaser. First he married his childhood crush and spent all the time he wasn't doing research with her until she died. Seven years after that he married the woman with whom he'd live the rest of his life. Besides people who have time to chase around women don't win Nobel Prizes.

You are correct sir. It's just that he wasn't forever alone either, and if you read Surely you're joking... it says he went on dates etc.
