Nikola Tesla / 尼古拉·特斯拉

Nikola Tesla / 尼古拉·特斯拉 appears in 135.闲聊伟大作家们的八卦(第三弹) through the episode’s Mark Twain / 马克·吐温 section. The source says Twain and Tesla were close friends, then uses the anecdote of Twain trying a vibration device in Tesla’s lab and losing bodily control as one of the episode’s comic examples.

Tesla’s role here is not a technical history page. He functions as a bridge between Twain’s writerly curiosity, invention culture, and the episode’s broader Author Myth Deflation pattern: canonical figures become easier to understand when they are restored to laboratories, friendships, bodies, jokes, and failed or absurd experiments.

Hanji 161 part 3 adds a very different source-scoped Tesla usage. The host invokes Tesla for energy, frequency, vibration, and the idea that everything has life, then folds that attribution into 高维意识纠缠. The wiki records the attribution as part of the episode’s worldview language, not as a verified quotation history.
