Was he right? I personally think so, at least partially. Tesla did not employ mathematical analysis in his work, he simply had an extraordinary ability to visualize things in his mind’s eye, especially the aether (classical electromagnetic field), and look at what he accomplished. Yes there is a place for abstraction and mathematical analysis but these results should be backed by real, experimental results.
