It is not unusual at all that once Nikola Tesla died, the FBI acted immediately, maybe the strange thing is the fact that nobody interfered while he was alive. Or maybe they did, but the legend didn’t have any problems with it. The ideas he had for military innovations to prevent war were magnificent. One of them was an artificial tidal wave so vast that it would capsize entire enemy fleets. He imagined that wireless technology would trigger the detonations of high explosives at sea and the tidal wave would “make navies as useless as the paper boats that babies float in bathtubs.” He was certain that the power of science could prevent war.
