A Brief History of Scalar

The Holy Trinity of Scalar: Maxwell, Tesla and Bearden

Scalar energy and the scalar field, the foundation of quantum physics, is a concept that even scientists have trouble getting their heads around. Yet at the same time, by stepping back and not trying to analyze it too much, even the simplest layperson can get an idea of what it’s about.

A good start in getting a basic understanding scalar is to know its founding fathers. The holy trinity of scalar is comprised of these three men: James Clerk Maxwell, Nikola Tesla and Thomas Bearden. Each of them contributed to what is one of the most important discoveries in science. And many more have taken scalar further since then.

James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879) was a 19th century Scottish physicist and mathematician lauded for his contributions to the realm of electromagnetism. He formulated a set of fundamental equations that delineated the behavior of electromagnetic fields. In reality, Maxwell had originally put forth 20 equations, but the scientific establishment back then was not ready to accept the revolutionary concept of an electromagnetic potential field.

After Maxwell’s death, mathematician Oliver Heaviside and physicist Hendrik Lorentz stepped in and offered a pared-down version of Maxwell’s equations, reducing the original twenty equations down to four, which are still taught in schools today. While this made the equations more palatable to the scientific community, it took away from the larger picture Maxwell was trying to convey.

Nonetheless, Maxwell’s equations, a cornerstone of modern physics, provide a comprehensive framework that shines a light on the intricate relationship between electric and magnetic fields, notably in the propagation of electromagnetic waves. These waves carry energy and information, making them the backbone of modern communication, energy transfer, and scientific discovery. More importantly, his theories into electromagnetism planted the seed of a new energy variant, scalar energy, which could well be one of the greatest breakthroughs in modern science.

Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) was a brilliant Serbian-American inventor and engineer who pioneered the concept of scalar energy, earning him recognition as the “Father of Scalar Electromagnetics

Tesla held a steadfast belief in the existence of an energy form distinct from electromagnetism, which he called “Radiant Energy.” Much like the light we get from the sun, scalar energy doesn’t diminish over distance. Tesla’s exploration of scalar energy was closely tied to his concept of the ether, a hypothetical medium that was thought to permeate all of space. He believed that scalar energy could be obtained into by tapping into the ether, which could potentially provide an infinite source of energy.

Tesla’s groundbreaking experiments in the early 1900s demonstrated scalar energy’s astonishing capacity to transmit energy and information across vast distances without the need for conventional wires or cables. Tesla envisioned a future where free, unlimited scalar energy would benefit humanity, revolutionizing energy transmission and communications. Now his vision is branching out into new fields such as quantum medicine.

Lieutenant Colonel Tom Bearden (1930-2022), a Pentagon-level nuclear engineer who published extensively on unconventional energy theories in the 1980s and 1990s, is often credited with popularizing scalar energy.

He postulated that scalar electromagnetic waves could tap into the vacuum energy of space, produce free energy, and affect biological systems. 

If it weren’t for Bearden, scalar energy might have remained shelved. Heaviside and Lorentz’s simplified Maxwell’s equations left out the parts that described how electromagnetism links up with gravity and the “active vacuum”, which reduced all the information on the potentials of the original discovery. Bearden’s work resurrected both Maxwell’s missing equations and Tesla’s work on scalar energy, taking these discoveries further.

Other scalar heavy hitters: Rife, Prioré and Meyl

Microbiologist Royal Raymond Rife (1888-1971) developed powerful microscopes which enabled him to identify the unique resonant frequencies of various pathogens. By matching the frequency of these pathogens with what he called a “Mortal Oscillatory Rate” (MOR), he was able to shatter them, much like an opera singer does with a wine glass. Throughout his career, Rife developed thousands of programs capable of influencing and even curing many diseases.

Nikola Tesla, who had already suggested the use of frequencies to heal the body, had a strong influence on Rife’s work. In the late 1920’s, Rife invented the Rife Machine – one of the first frequency generators. While he had a phenomenal 100% success rate in curing cancer patients with this device, he was eventually met with strong opposition, and his work was shut down.

Today, devices such as the Spooky2 Scalar can deliver Rife frequencies through a gentle scalar field, turning scalar’s passive support into a personalized precision-guided healing modality. This is a perfect form of homage to these two brilliant men.

Antoine Prioré (1912-1983) was an Italian electrician and naval radar operator who discovered the cellular regeneration properties of electromagnetic frequencies in a very odd way. He had brought some oranges into the lab, and a few of of them had fallen next to some electrical bric-a-brac that was on the floor. Apparently he had forgotten to eat the oranges, as the ones on the counter went bad. Later he noticed the ones that had dropped on the floor- and they were still fresh as the day he bought them! Clearly inspired by this discovery, he carried on working with frequencies, building make-shift devices, and experimenting on plants and animals before moving on to successfully treating the terminally-ill cancer patients. Though Prioré could not explain these astonishing results, he realized he had stumbled upon a process basic to the enhancement, or speeding up, of cellular growth.

Prioré’s fascinating life story reads like a novel, but it’s his overlooked contribution to frequency healing that should be recognized. Sadly, what he shared with Rife was not only the successful coupling scalar energy to healing frequencies, but the suppression of his achievements by the scientific and medical establishment.

Konstantin Meyl (born 1952), a German university professor of physics and applied electronics, revived Tesla’s patents and inventions to create the SWD, a scalar wave healing device. A prolific and outspoken figure in the field of alternative physics, Meyl is leading a growing number of enthusiasts in the exploration of scalar energy technology. He has helped bring originally fringe ideas about the electric nature of cells into mainstream vernacular.

Meyl posits that as cells continuously generate an electric tension, they should easily be able to function as radio transmitters. What he calls “cell radio” is in fact the means of communication within multicellular organisms that goes back 600 million years. He believed that scalar waves were instrumental in transporting information in biological systems.

In the late 1970s, Meyl completed his doctoral studies, focusing on electromagnetic wave behavior in novel media. He was particularly interested in the potential for alternative interpretations of electromagnetic phenomena. Finding a flaw in Maxwell’s Theory ultimately led Meyl to the discovery of electric vortices. These potential vortices spread scalar-like in space, a longitudinal electric wave whose properties had been already proven a century ago by Nicola Tesla. This supports Tesla’s initial theories and advances their applications in (free) wireless energy, transportation, communications…and in medicine.  

One more person worth noting: Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein (1879-1955) was the theoretician; Nikola Tesla was the inventor. Despite their different approaches, they shared a common focus, and their work complemented each other. Both men were concerned with energy and its potential. Einstein’s famous equation, E=mc², which demonstrated the equivalence of Mass and Energy, laid the foundation for many of Tesla’s energy harnessing inventions. Yet, Einstein had trouble grasping the concept of quantum entanglement, the cornerstone of Tesla’s scalar work. Not understanding how two particles could be tied to each other no matter how far they were from each other, Einstein just shrugged his shoulders, calling it “spooky action at a distance”. Nonetheless, even his skepticism gave a PR boost to Tesla’s work.

These are but a few of those who have contributed to the development and applications of scalar energy. Many of them faced a lot of opposition to their visionary ideas, but as we see the rise in interest and the growing number of applications that are benefiting humanity, it won’t be a surprise that they get the widespread recognition they deserve.
