After reading Descartes' essay on the formation of matter by aether vorices as an undergraduate, I continued to study the transition in physics from a view of the universe filled with subtle matter to one that is mostly a void with matter in random motion.

In graduate school I focused on the rise of electrical theory within the context of aether physics. I was particularly interested in how Maxwell's equations of electrical phenomena developed in the mid-1800s could still be applied today when the physics under which they were generated was considered wrong by the early 20th century.

Later, when I came across the work of Tesla, I had the same question about his inventions - how could they work if they were developed under a physics that is now considered wrong.

Since raising those initial questions I have written a few papers on Tesla's inventions - on energy generation and wireless power transmission - in an attempt to answer them.
