"Today's scientists have substituted mathematics for experiments, and they wander off through equation after equation, and eventually build a structure which has no relation to reality."
Although the quote was made nearly 3 quarters of a century ago, it is still eminently applicable to the world we are in today! The "Today" Tesla referred to in 1934 is practically the same thing we are facing today! I am not certain if they have any notion about the computer in 1934. Nevertheless the leading "scientists" then and now, I believe, are equally capable of working out of their self-indulged elite cocoons -- "which has no relation to reality"! People call Tesla "The genius who lit the world." I think he is more than just a genius. He is a timeless genius! His quote aptly described the essence of today's scientific world so much so that I doubt anyone can ever come up with a better description.
