Part 3, Al Bielek: Project Invisibility

Tesla was more enthusiastic about the project, as he continued:He had great insight. And his approach, or should I say his approach, to ideas that are invisible objects is the most interesting.

His ideas were not just mathematical; they were electronic. But besides his work and approach, others theoretically fit into the overall background of this project.

Recall that [The Invisibility Project] started at the University of Chicago in 1931 and was transferred to the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton in 1933. There is some very important background. One of his very important collaborators for this project is Dr. David Hilbert, a mathematician from Germany. He lived to some point in the 1950s, pre-dating his twentieth century.

As far as I know, he never left Germany. But he developed many mathematical systems—in total, he had five, the last one being the most important. It was called Hilbert’s space because its mathematics provided a means of describing multiple realities and, at least in theory, relating them to other realities.

John von Neumann

Of course, among those who were in Germany at the time was Dr. John von Neumann, so I’ll give you a little history at this point. He received his degree in chemistry in 1925, a doctorate in mathematics in 1926, and taught at German universities for about four years before coming to the United States in 1930. During this time, of course, he met David Hilbert and learned much of his mathematics, and von Neumann continued in his most peculiar way with the operator, what is known as the polar operator, and eventually von Neumann Algebra became popular, probably to make it more receptive to students.

These are some of the people who stood in the background. Hilbert contributed to the mathematics developed by Dr. Hilbert. John von Neumann was brought to America. He was a full-time employee there and probably spent most of his time working on projects himself.
The approach Tesla used was essentially the same approach used in later experiments. In the early stages, of course, tests were carried out on a very small ship at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, and the equipment was somewhat simplified, but the basic idea remained the same.

We need to understand the four basic energy systems of our physical universe. Let me explain a little theory here. This is not an academic paper but a more general presentation of ideas about what is going on, so I won’t delve into the math or get too deeply involved.

I'm sure everyone has heard of magnetic fields, but I'm pretty sure very few people have heard of gravity fields.

I’m sure everyone has heard of the electric field. Both static and, of course, current flow This is the AC system in use today and was in use before the 20th century. There is an electric field, and of course, there is a magnetic field. I’m sure everyone has heard of magnetic fields, but few have heard of gravitational fields. Because of Sir Isaac Newton’s idea—according to old stories, when an apple hit him in the head, he came up with the theory of universal gravitation—

In this theory, all matter exerts a gravitational pull on all other matter, which determines the mass of the planet. The strength of the gravitational field happens to be wrong. However, aside from speculative ideas, there is not much outside literature to suggest that gravity is a field. And it is very important to know the concept of a gravitational field. This is because it was used to access the time field.
