Gedanken über Kristalle
Nikola Tesla
In einem Kristall haben wir den klaren Beweis für die Existenz eines gestaltenden Lebensprinzips, und obwohl wir das Leben eines Kristalls nicht verstehen können, ist er dennoch ein lebendes Wesen.
Nikola Tesla (1856–1943)
The Problem of Increasing Human Energy · 1900 · S. 180
Auszug; eigene deutsche Übersetzung
Originaltext
There seems to be no philosophical necessity for food. We can conceive of organized beings living without nourishment, and deriving all the energy they need for the performance of their life-functions from the ambient medium. In a crystal we have the clear evidence of the existence of a formative life-principle, and though we cannot understand the life of a crystal, it is none the less a living being. There may be, besides crystals, other such individualized, material systems of beings, perhaps of gaseous constitution, or composed of substance still more tenuous. In view of this possibility,—nay, probability,—we cannot apodictically deny the existence of organized beings on a planet merely because the conditions on the same are unsuitable for the existence of life as we conceive it. We cannot even, with positive assurance, assert that some of them might not be present here, in this our world, in the very midst of us, for their constitution and life-manifestation may be such that we are unable to perceive them.
