Classic dialog between Walter Russell and Dr. John E. Jackson in the New York TImes, 1930    

 

Contemporary Nikola Tesla told Mr. Russell that humanity would not be ready for his theory for 1000 years. Maybe we can shorten that time somewhat? The reader will find that Dr. Russell's theory goes quite deep after some initial orientation and challenges much of the foundation of Newtonian physics which is still considered sacrosant - for "macro" and "non-relativistic" speeds. Keep in mind that this dialog was occurring just as quantum physics and Einstein's relativity theories (special and general) had become established. Could Russell, accomplished as an artist, have intuitively grasped some principles that modern science still has not? He did predict the discovery of the "trans-uranium" elements (and some as yet not discovered). His logic, if studied is quite systematic and consistent, but requires a more comprehensive incorporation of observations of nature than presently accounted for. Also, he did back up and inform his observations with experiments and even an energy device that was to be announced by the President (Kennedy) in September, 1961.

 

 A notable excerpt (stated by Dr. John E. Jackson):

 

"Mr. Russell has evidently approached his solution to the greatest riddle from the point of view opposite to that of the scientist. He has considered the universe as a whole and offers explanations for the workings of its units as they fit into the whole, while we scientists study the separate parts but as yet cannot fit them together perfectly. Who is to say that Russell’s method of approach is not as valuable as our own, especially when it is carried on by so keen an observer. Let us give him a chance for a proof."

​

So, the jury is still out, and it will be some time before a few adventurous souls determine the validity of Russell's theories and cosmology. With some study it becomes apparent that there are certainly some aspects that provide insight into current electromagnetics and physics. Much more research with new approaches needs to be done.
