Incompatibility aside, how are 50 hurts any less dangerous than 60?

You didn't mention the Really Good Stuff Tesla invented, which was either
suppressed or appropriated by the darkside for their nefarious purposes. That
stuff worked, else they wouldn't have seized/confiscated it.

As it causes the involuntary muscle contraction to last longer with fewer rest
points.

As I said, Tesla was looking for power transmission. As such he used long wave
radiation as it would remain near the surface of the earth, guided by it around
obstacles and easy to convert into a more useful form.

That it wasn't efficient was the failure.

He just didn't realize its capabilities to carry information instead.

Tiger, what's standard about the current railway guage? First of all we STILL
don't have a standard track width, and secondly even where we assume that the
wheels are 4'8 1/2" apart the trains STILL can't run on track they weren't
designed to. Just try running Metropolitan stock on the Northern Line, for
instance. And the overground isn't any better.

And are you saying that Brunel was an incompetent copy-cat? As far as history
goes he was a pioneer - first suspension bridge, first iron ship, first this
that and the other. Since when has the first person to do something got it right
first time? I can't remember the exact quote but it's something like
"getting it right comes from experience. Experience comes from getting it
wrong". Who came before Brunel that he should have learnt from? You EXPECT
bleeding edge technology to screw up, and, if history is to be believed, it
would be a major surprise if Brunel got things perfect that often. After all,
weren't his steam trains the fastest in the world, for quite some time! ?

One only has to look at the millenium bridge for an example of how long it takes
people to learn. You ARE aware, I hope, that the problem that closed it for so
long is almost EXACTLY the same problem that has plagued the Albert Bridge? (for
those who don't know, the Albert Bridge was built, iirc, in the 1850s, the
millenium bridge in the 1990s.) And in fact, there are several other bridges
going back to 1950 or so that suffered *the* *same* problem as the millenium
bridge.

Cheers,
Wol
