What is light? Tesla's Revelation
"What exactly is light?" - this fundamental question can be said to be a mystery that we humans have been holding since ancient times, and is truly similar to the universe itself. Nikola Tesla, a genius inventor of the 19th century, leaves a surprising hint of this question. In a conversation with journalist John Smith in 1899, Tesla said:
"It's all light, and all the people who existed in this world will never disappear. They have just transformed into light." The words go beyond mere scientific views, as if they were mystical revelation. But at the same time, it also feels like it touches on the heart of profound physics.
Tesla's statements have begun to take on new meaning with advances in modern science. Behind the words he left behind may be hidden hidden secrets of light and the universe that we still don't know.

Chapter 1: Genius Inventor Nikola Tesla - A visionary ahead of the times
Nikola Tesla (July 10, 1856 – January 7, 1943) is a Serb-American inventor, electrician, mechanical engineer and physicist from the Austrian Empire (now Croatia). It is no exaggeration to say that his achievements have laid the foundations of modern society, and the development of AC power systems in particular has significantly changed our lives today.
Tesla has made numerous groundbreaking inventions throughout his life, and its original ideas and innovative technologies continue to have a major impact on contemporary people as well as modern scientists and engineers. He was a visionary who went beyond just an inventor, and had deep insight into the future of humanity.
1.1 - Talents that have blossomed since childhood and challenged America
Tesla, who had an extraordinary talent since childhood, studied engineering and physics at universities in Austria and Czech Republic. His mind was always filled with new ideas, and it can be said that his passion for bringing them to life was stronger than anyone else. He moved to the United States in 1884 and after working for a short time under Thomas Edison, he founded his own lab.
1.2: Development of AC power systems and the "current war"
He then successfully developed an AC power system and engaged in a fierce competition known as the "current war" with Edison, who was promoting DC power systems. This competition was an important event in speaking about the history of the power system, and ultimately, AC power became mainstream due to its efficiency and economics, ending with Tesla's victory. This victory went beyond simply selecting the power system, but also proved Tesla's advanced technology and foresight.
1.3. A wide range of inventions and exploration of free energy
Besides AC power systems, Tesla has made innovative inventions in a wide range of fields, including radio communications technology, radio, fluorescent lights, Tesla coils, robotics, remote control technology, and even energy.
His research deepens his understanding of electromagnetic waves and contributes greatly to the development of modern radio technology and electronic devices.
In particular, the Tesla coil is an invention that symbolizes his original ideas, and is still used today in science education and experiments as a device that generates high voltage and high frequency electricity. Tesla also proposed the concept of free energy and aimed to build a global energy transmission system.
Although these ideas were considered difficult and unrealistic with technology at the time, their foresight and innovative vision still captivate many people and inspire researchers' quest. Tesla was a true idealist who sought to contribute to the happiness of humanity through science and technology.
1.4: Loneliness in the later years and achievements that have been re-evaluated
Despite his genius abilities, Tesla died in loneliness and poverty in his later years. The numerous patents and inventions he left behind took a long time for their value to be justified. However, his achievements and originality have been re-evaluated in recent years, and his name has become increasingly brilliant as an enduring presence in the history of science.
His words, "Everything is light," are the culmination of his lifelong quest, and are an important guide for modern scientists and engineers to open up unknown territory. Tesla's life can be said to be a story that teaches us the possibilities of science and inventions and the harshness of the journey to society's acceptance.
Chapter 2: Tesla's "Four Laws of the Universe": The Principles of the Universe illuminated by Light
The "Four Laws of the Universe" that Tesla allegedly spoke about will provide an important clue to our efforts to unravel this mystery. These laws suggest a simple principle that the universe follows, and while being as simple as a mathematical formula, it holds the key to solving all the mysteries of the universe.
The core of this is the concept that "unknown information hidden in the darkness will eventually be illuminated by the light and reach our understanding." This law can also be said to represent the very process of scientific quest. Furthermore, Tesla states, "For material to exist, light is necessary, and without light, matter, and the universe itself, cannot exist." This mystery of light, in which matter, energy, and information are intimately intertwined, is an important step towards unraveling the essence of the universe as a whole. Tesla's words are not merely scientific propositions, but also encourage deep philosophical considerations on the nature of the universe and the raison d'etre of human existence.
Chapter 3: History of the Mysteries of Light - From Ancient to Modern Science
3.1 - Exploring Ancient Greece - Discovery of Eukreides
The quest for the mechanisms of light dates back to ancient Greek times. Around 300 BC, Eukreides, a master of mathematics and geometry, discovered the relationship between light and angle. This discovery was the basis for later optical research, and gave a geometric perspective on the paths of light.
3.2. Newton and the particle theory - insights from prism experiments
Then, in the 17th century, Isaac Newton revolutionized the study of light. In particular, the experiment of decomposition of white light using prisms was a groundbreaking attempt to get closer to the essence of light. Newton observed the phenomenon in which white light is divided into seven colors, and proposed the "particle theory" that light is the flow of particles.
However, this theory alone could not explain all the properties of light. The theory of light particles only captures some of the various phenomena that light possesses, leaving behind many unclear parts.
3.3 Young's Interference Experiment - Proof of Light Waveability
Newton's particle theory was forced to be corrected by a light interference experiment carried out by Thomas Young in the 18th century. Young's experiment clearly demonstrated that light has a wave-like nature, bringing a major turning point to the concept of light.
This discovery led to the creation of the concept of duality, which is that light is both a particle and a wave. This duality was a very mysterious phenomenon for scientists at the time, and it became a major challenge in capturing the essence of light.
3.4 Maxwell's Electromagnetic Wave Theory - To unravel the true nature of light
And then, in the second half of the 19th century, James Clark Maxwell appeared and by integrating the laws of electromagnetics, the study of light took to a new stage. He mathematically proved that light is a type of electromagnetic wave, and held the key to explaining the wide range of vibrations of light, namely the diversity of colour and intensity. Maxwell's theory of electromagnetic waves mathematically expresses the vibrational nature of light, making a major contribution in elucidating the previously mysterious properties of light.
3.5. Einstein and quantum mechanics - Presentation of the duality of light
However, these discoveries did not unravel the entire mystery of light. In the early 20th century, quantum mechanics proposed by Albert Einstein reached an even deeper level of understanding of light. Einstein presented a new framework that is difficult to understand in traditional physics: "light has the properties of particles and waves at the same time."
This quantum mechanics perspective has become an important step towards fully capturing the duality of light. Furthermore, the "principles of invariant speed of light" and "equivalence of energy and mass" (E=mc^2) presented in his special theory of relativity have become important keys in unraveling the essence of light, and have greatly evolved physics itself. Einstein's theory suggested that light is not merely energy, but rather has a close relationship with matter and is deeply involved in the very structure of the universe.
Chapter 4: Creation of Light, Matter, and the Universe - Unraveling the invisible connections
4.1 - The world illuminated by light - our perception and existence
What has become clear with the advancement of science is that light is not just a form of visible energy, but is deeply involved in our lives and the universe itself. Many of the world we recognize are merely images of reflections by light.
But that is the first step in our understanding of the physical world. It is no exaggeration to say that the influence of light is not limited to vision, but also forms the basis of our existence.
4.2. Quantum electromagnetics and essential involvement in light and material structure
Quantum electromagnetic dynamics, which developed in the 1940s, revealed that electromagnetic interactions are essential for the structure of matter, and information is exchanged through light. For example, even if we just act as a simple act of grabbing something, it is the result of electromagnetic force at a microscopic level.
If there were no light or electromagnetic interactions, material would lose form and the universe itself would collapse. Light acts like an adhesive that connects the atoms that make up matter and shapes the universe.
4.3 - Creation of material through light - Experiment at the Brookhaven Institute
Furthermore, in recent years, it has begun to suggest that light is not merely a medium of energy, but also plays a role in the creation of matter itself. In 2021, a gold ion collision experiment conducted at the Brookhaven Institute observed a phenomenon in which light is converted into matter, confirming that electrons and positrons are generated from light. This groundbreaking achievement provides important hints for understanding how the pre-Bang universe was shaped.
4.4. High energy generation - evidence of gamma ray experiments
In addition, an experiment using gamma rays conducted in 1929 confirmed the fact that high energy acts on lead, causing light to occur. These findings strongly suggest that light is not just an energy body, but a fundamental principle for creating and supporting the universe. Light is involved in all phenomena from the beginning of the universe to the present, and unraveling its secrets can also be said to lead to understanding everything about the universe.
Chapter 5: Tesla's Perspective: Compass for the Future - "Everything is Light"
The words "Everything is light" as spoken by Nikola Tesla resonate with the achievements of modern cutting-edge science, suggesting the unknown possibilities that light has. Light carries information, creates matter, and has deep potential in the universe and our world in the future.
However, our understanding is still ongoing, and many of the secrets hidden in the light have yet to be clarified. As we continue this epic journey, what answer will we ultimately arrive at? We will need to continue to explore the essence of light using Tesla's perspective as a guide.
Pursuing the mystery of light - Together into an unknown space
Light will be the key to unraveling the mysteries of the universe, and at the same time a compass for understanding our own existence. In this journey of exploration, we will encounter the infinite possibilities of light.
To unravel the mystery of light is to unravel the secrets of the universe, and in turn, it will lead to a deeper understanding of the significance of our own existence.
