„V celém vesmíru je energie. Je tato energie statická nebo kinetická? Je-li statická, jsou naše naděje marné; je-li kinetická - a to víme jistě -, pak je to pouhá otázka času, než se lidem podaří připojit svou mašinérii k samotnému kolu přírody.“

— Nikola Tesla

Originál

Throughout space there is energy. Is this energy static or kinetic! If static our hopes are in vain; if kinetic — and this we know it is, for certain — then it is a mere question of time when men will succeed in attaching their machinery to the very wheelwork of nature.

"Experiments With Alternate Currents Of High Potential And High Frequency" (February 1892)
Kontext: Ere many generations pass, our machinery will be driven by a power obtainable at any point of the universe. This idea is not novel. Men have been led to it long ago by instinct or reason; it has been expressed in many ways, and in many places, in the history of old and new. We find it in the delightful myth of Antaeus, who derives power from the earth; we find it among the subtle speculations of one of your splendid mathematicians and in many hints and statements of thinkers of the present time. Throughout space there is energy. Is this energy static or kinetic! If static our hopes are in vain; if kinetic — and this we know it is, for certain — then it is a mere question of time when men will succeed in attaching their machinery to the very wheelwork of nature.
