1882-1883: He designed and contracted for the first three-wire central station for distributing electric light, power, and heat - in standardized form - in Brockton, Massachusetts. He discovered a previously unknown phenomenon that later came to be known as the "Edison effect," but he called "Etheric Force". He specifically, determined that an independent wire, grid, or plate placed between the legs of the filament of an incandescent lamp acted as a "damper" or valve to control the flow of current. After twelve years these previously unknown phenomena were recognized as electric waves in free space and became the foundation of wireless telegraphy. Most importantly, this discovery - along with his carbon button - involved the foundation principles upon which the diode was later invented, and upon which radio, television, and computer transistors are based.
Edison made a similar mistake with his first announcement of the 'etheric force' (Gorman, 1989). In 1875, while conducting experiments on multiple telegraphy, Edison noticed that when the current to an electromagnet was interrupted, sparks could be drawn off a variety of metal objects in the laboratory. Not only did these sparks emerge at a greater distance than any he had seen before, they appeared to have neither a positive nor a negative charge. He thought he had discovered a new physical force, which he labeled etheric because it seemed to travel through the invisible ether that was supposed to carry light waves. Edison was used to announcing his new inventions to the newspapers, often long in advance of their reduction to practice. He did the same with his new discovery, and a sympathetic New York Herald reporter announced that: (I cut it to shorten the length)

No problem man. They are just jealous because i speak the truth and they can't handle it. And because nobody believes anything they say.
u2u me if you want more info without everyone bothering you on the thread about it.

The "dying NASA scientist" is actually on to something, although not how to contact aliens. The method he is using could put one in a stated of heightened relaxation and suggestibility, a form of self-hypnosis. In such a state, the person will not be contacting "aliens" but instead convincing themselves that aliens are present, these "aliens" being whatever their subconscious conjures.edit on 26-3-2011 by WingedBull because: (no reason given)

I did some digging around on you-tube there seems to be a lot of dying nasa scientist videos.
I think this one is awesome
