I don't think Tesla was as wrong as people think he was. For example in todays world we have confirmed his theory that the earth has a resonant electrical frequecny and that it is capable of working like a carrier wave for electrical power. It definitely does work. It could replace our power grid and make wireless power a real possibility.He was just hundreds of years ahead of his time.

Roddenberry took inspiration from real-life units, and changed the name to make sure that he could have his weapons do effects that a LASER could not do without people calling him out on that (very important in fiction).

Technobabble? What's this?
So does biochemistry and genetics, and probably physics too. We were discussing logic and intuition, not how the brain actually processes stuff at low level.Last edited by duby229; 23 July 2017, 01:33 PM.

Originally posted by duby229 View PostWell, the invention of lasers happened over a period of time during the 50's and 60's and resulted in a whole bunch of patent wars. But I'm telling you the subsequent development of lasers into what they are today as weapon systems happened because of Star Trek envisioned phasers. Directed energy weapons exist now because of that show. At least in America that's true.

The concept of portable energy weapons in popular fiction goes to Buck Rogers comics, in 1920. Of Flash Gordon.
After that pretty much everyone had some "raygun" in one form or another. Star Trek isn't the first by a long shot.
