Nikola Tesla Imagination Summary

The theme of science is illuminated by the notion of electricity and "[its] potential to reanimate corpses" (Brown "The Science"). The theme of religion is connected to religious books, philosophies, and actions. One prominent conflict between the themes revolves around Victor Frankenstein's idea of creating life. Throughout most of his career, Frankenstein was involved with the sciences and gained a great interest in the "human frame" (30) and "the physical secrets of the world" (19). He started an experiment for the sake of science, but saw it as a "[success] in discovering the cause of generation and life" (31).

Perceived by many to be an intellectual Dark Age, due to propaganda, the Medieval era contrarily, as agreed on by scholars, had many advancements and discoveries in the realm of science were made. The Historic record reveals that, “The society and culture of the High Middle Ages was complex, dynamic, and innovative…throughout the cultural sphere an unprecedented intellectual ferment developed” (World Book). Advancement in science through history has given humanity more clear view and new perspectives on how the world works. Born in the mid thirteenth century during the High and Late Middle Ages, Dante, the author of Paradiso, had unrestrained access to the academic world and the science that filled it. Although viewed as a religious work Paradiso produces many examples of the advancements in medieval science, such as astronomy, and the experimental method providing Dante the scientific platform to explain the universe he experienced in a plausible way.

As Bruce was considering this, Landau brought to light that the contract Bruce originally signed with Appel-owned Laurel Canyon records had some clauses Bruce did not know about. Landau brought to light that these clauses were “Laurel Canyon could make any changes to Bruce’s work that it wanted without his permission. In other words: Bruce didn’t own his music” (Springsteen Lore). As tensions were already heightened, Bruce was furious and notified Appel that he wants the old contracts

Science vs. Nature/God in ‘The Birthmark” In the 19th century, Nathaniel Hawthorne wrote “The Birthmark” during a time of science and innovation called the Industrial Revolution. People have questioned of the steps science has taken to have control over nature and act as God. In ‘The Birthmark” there is a man named Aylmer who is obsessed with science. His idea of perfection will become a challenge for him.

Even just this year there are debates whether or not man has the authority to exploit nature to create the Keystone Pipeline, just as we questioned manipulating electricity as playing God in the 19th century. Mary Shelley touched upon this topic in her novel, Frankenstein, along with Nathaniel Hawthorne in “Birthmark” and Campbell in “Myths and the Modern World. The consequences of attempting to control nature is clearly evident in Frankenstein by Shelley. Victor Frankenstein is a brilliant scientist who endeavors to bring the dead back to life through electricity. Just through making electricity he is

Most of Aylmer’s other experiments prior to the birthmark have gone badly, and have been described as failures. The confident scientist he portrays to the outside word is nothing compared to how he is in his laboratory. Even though Alymer is ashamed of the way he looks in his laboratory that never stops him or changes his mind about removing Georgiana’s birthmark. His actions are caused by his growing obsession with science and the birthmark. In the last scene of “The Birthmark” we see the outcome of his overpowering obsession.

As famous mathematician and scientist Albert Einstein once revealed, “It has become appallingly obvious that technology has exceeded our humanity.” Einstein questions whether or not the astounding amount of advanced technology that remains within humanity is overall beneficial to the world or not. Obviously, Einstein obtained clear opinions towards the amount of technology that existed in humanity during his time period. He thought that technology brought more negative consequences to society than positive ones. His theory remains the thought that if individuals become too dependent on one thing or idea, then the results may remain unfavorable.

Is modern America on the brink of being under total control just like the novel Brave New World? In the novel Brave New World author Aldous Huxley depicts a somewhat utopian society but the more the reader finds out the more they realize how it’s a dystopian society. There is a lot of major themes present in the novel, but the one that surpasses them all is the thought of science as a means of control. Even though Aldous Huxley wrote this novel in the early 20th century, his idea of science as a means of control in Brave New World has striking similarities but yet some differences to today's modern day society.

“The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom” (Isaac Asimov). During the late 1940’s World War II, also known as the “Cold War” came to an end. The U.S faced major concerns such as the brutal reality of the war, the Holocaust and the atomic bomb. Leaving society not only clueless, but it had modeled them to become people who are willing to accept anything that does not affect them. Author Shirley Jackson who lived in a society which was facing the spread of communism and lacked women's rights, published “The Lottery”, in hope to convey several themes across to the people.

Modern Prometheus In Frankenstein, by Mary Shelly, a gothic horror, mimicked the myth "Prometheus". Prometheus brings power and knowledge to mankind while Victor searches for power through enlightment. They suffered disastrous problems for their actions. They both go beyond and ignore their limits. Victor was fascinated by the power of electricity, but was flabbergasted by his creation when he brought it to life.

Scientific experimentation, especially space exploration, can be impractical and wasteful. Furthermore, in a 2014 news article published in the Washington Post, written by Walter Pincus, specific nuclear programs in the U.S are actually increasing their budget. Pincus describes a certain nuclear project that the U.S government is sponsoring, "The most costly refurbishment, about $643 million, is for the B-61 bomb, which is carried by strategic bombers based in the United States" (Pincus). Although the U.S already has a nuclear arsenal that could potentially destroy the world, it continues to invest in its nuclear weaponry. This shows the degree to which society can waste its resources in

Tesla More Like YESla Many people have changed the United States of America throughout its existence. Most of them became well known, either during life or posthumously, but others were and continue to be denied the recognition and appreciation they deserve. Amongst the latter is Serbian-American inventor Nikola Tesla, who changed America through his inventions, such as the Tesla coil, his advancements in electrical supply, especially the use of alternating current, and his groundwork for technological concepts which were later developed after his death, including x-rays, radar, and wireless communication. His ideas and creations were revolutionary for their time and many of them are still used abundantly today. Being an inventor, the first point which should be addressed is his inventions.
