  • Having secrets is part of being human. There is no person alive today who doesn’t have at least one secret. While most of these secrets are of no concern to anyone else, there are some that could benefit the whole of humanity, or even solve some long-running mystery. While some of these may one day surface, others will forever be lost. Here are 10 people who took their biggest secrets with them to the grave, and left us to speculate about what those secrets truly were and how they could have benefited us if we knew them.

    I know that Nikola Tesla is the most underappreciated and not getting credit where credit is due. And my reason is this, why is the electric company in different parts of the U.S. are called ConEdison? Edison is NOT the man who saw the use of AC electricity, it was Tesla. Edison preferred DC electricity . And proof has surfaced. In late 1899 the city of Chicago asked Tesla to make 1,000,000 AC light bulbs for the 1900 Wolrd's Fair that was held in Chicago, IL. He did it and to this day they still give Edison, the wrong man credit for work he never did. WHY?

    The wood from the region where Stratevari would have used his maple, spruce and willow to make his Violins were theorized to have special properties due to the mini ice age from volcanic eruptions worldwide. Recent analysis of the wood rings inside trees of the same region and time he was alive confirmed this with the wood rings being incredibly tight packed due to the very slow growth of the trees during this time of reduced sunlight and cold weather.

    If you watch the Zapruder film, you can see that when the so called "magic bullet" hits Kennedy and Connelly, they are not sitting like they are in the diagram. The diagram shows them both facing forward with their hands resting on their legs. In that position, yes, the bullet would have had to change direction.
    If you watch the video, you will see that is not even close to how they were positioned. The "magic bullet" was the second bullet fired. The first had struck Kennedy in the throat, causing him to struggle the breathe. Connelly then turns almost 90 degrees toward the passenger door, and is checking to see what's wrong with Kennedy. You can see when the second shot occurs because Connelly reacts, grabbing his wrist. If someone made a diagram orienting Kennedy and Connelly as they actually were at the time of that shot, the bullet's trajectory would be a much straighter line.

      Kennedy was also in an open top vehicle that started accelerating. The damage to Kennedy's skull was the top of his head. When that fatal shot hit him, he lunged forward briefly, then fell back in the car seat. Given all those factors, of course his brain and skull fragments would fall out onto the trunk.

    Its a curious response from an academic and Professor - whose whole life was centred about learning and teaching - to state: "a magician never reveals his secrets". I wonder if Arne Beurling had secret dealings/input into the development and construction of the T-52 machine itself? How else, but having prior intimate knowledge of it's workings, could he have solved the cypher - which was far more complex than the Enigma machine - by himself in 2wks with only a pencil and paper??
    IMO either he (secretly) knew about the T52 machine, or he had access to someone that did.

    • @garryandrews5443

      They think the secret of the way they sound was the varnish. Stradivari bought his varnish from a man who was a part-time alchemist, and one of the ingredients that he used was crushed amethyst. Amethyst, like all crystals, has a natural frequency at which it vibrates, and the frequency is a harmonic of the frequency of the E string on a violin. Given that you tune the other strings on a violin from the E string, that makes the entire varnished surface of the violin a sounding board. Also, the wood itself - Stradivari didn't have a shed or any kind of storage area for the logs that he used for his wood, but the river ran past his house so he left the logs floating in the river and fished one out whenever he needed wood. It took a couple of years to dry the log out but that didn't matter. Stradivari lived for 93 years, a phenomenal age back then - Cremona, his city (he never left it) was besieged three times and hit by plague twice but he couldn't have cared less, he ignored everything except his violins - so he had plenty of time. A very interesting man.

    I find it horrendous that you would even mention the Kennedy assassination magic bullet theory. The imagined twisting and turning of the bullet is only necessary in a standard vehicle. The car Kennedy was traveling in had been specially modified so the back seats were on a different level than the front and were also not aligned directly behind. When the bullet is tracked through this modified car, it hits as described on a perfectly straight line. No "magic" required.
    Also, recent investigations have discovered the last bullet. There had been a person under the bridge overpass who had been hit by a chunk of concrete that was somewhat unexplained. They were able to track a nick in the traffic light that showed a bullet had hit the Light housing and had then been deflected toward the concrete bridge and that caused the person to be hit by the splinter of concrete.

It was very unusual balmy and wet weather for the region during Stradivari's lifetime, so when the trees were cut down they had a very *unique chemistry* , which then transferred to the tone of the instruments made from them. It cannot be replicated by any means, the unusual weather pattern which created the *perfect trees* for making musical instruments has never returned nor is it ever like to.

I know a man who got this 'treatment' from the patents office. He was summarily rejected for his patent 4 times, each time for a different reason, & each time the other 3 reasons given at the other times were not an issue, & had passed inspection. Truth? They were not going to give him a patent, period, because it was a threat to the current order-of-things. He had designed a multi-staged hydraulic transmission that powered hydraulic wheel units. It was powered by a small 'stationary' engine that had heat-vaporization carburetion. Result? A car that had 100's of horsepower measured at the tire (most cars have 50-100 at most), & that had fuel economy of several 100's of miles per gallon of gasoline. If he had chosen to manufacture without a patent, the patents office then responds by granting his invention's patent to the company or companies most threatened by it, & they can then take 'legal' action to end his or any similar ventures. That's how 'they' do it. Informed & total freedom-of-choice, real progress, & true autonomy are most dangerous (to 'them') & that's why we (all the rest of us) aren't ever really allowed to have any of these 'dangerously' wonderful things....

    Antonio Stradivari's instruments were made from the wood of the trees that were found around his home, during the time of his life there was a global cooling due to a lack of direct sunlight, this made the wood around where he lived more dense because the trees did not grow as quickly (basically the rings in the trees were closer together) this allowed for greater reverberation within the instruments which in turn made them sound better.

  • @colintimp1372
    @colintimp1372 5 років тому +4

    Stradivari's mystery was solved a while ago. It seems that in the years prior to his instrument building, the area in which he lived went through a kind of environmental problem due to weather. The trees in the area stopped growing at their normal rate. This made the wood much more dense than it would've normally been; giving his instruments superior sound.

    Antonio Stradivari's secret had nothing to do with the shape of the violin, adhesives, or what he used to sand it with. The reason why they sound so amazing is because the wood he used was from trees that lived thru the "Little Ice Age". This happened between 1645-1715. Unless we have another little ice age, there will be no violins that sound like the Stradivari...

    • @gorepuppy
      @gorepuppy 6 років тому

      Borax and other chemicals were used to treat the wood. While tonewoods used make unique sounds and even a single species of wood may have a unique sound, the reason they are still around shows that the wood underwent chemical baths that protected the wood to this day. I mean you can do NMR on a small piece of one if you want proof. But it has been done, and the resulted peaks spell out that the wood in question was aggressively treated with borax. We still use borax to treat wood to this day. The wood for the tops is mostly responsible for the tones but if climate can control the growth of spruce used as the top or other woods used in bracing, we would not need a little ice age, you would just plant the trees in a place that had similar climate. So as I understand it while the wood used has interesting tonal properties the chemical bath would likely have changed the crosslinking of the surface oils creating polymers, making not only a decent protectant, but also contributing to the sound.
