Nikola Tesla | his mind had to free itself from the influence of delusive appearances
"The greatest triumphs of man were those in which his mind had to free itself from the influence of delusive appearances.[...] An unalterable rotational velocity thru all phases of planetary evolution is manifestly impossible. [...] The truth is, the so-called “axial rotation” of the moon is a phenomenon deceptive alike to the eye and mind and devoid of physical meaning. [...] The moon does rotate, not on its own, but about an axis passing thru the center of the earth, the true and only one."
Nikola Tesla
