Tesla made some interesting breakthroughs to be sure, but he was also a nut-case who fell in love with a pigeon. Not everything he said is some form of holy writ.

Science made the rapid progress it did precisely because it at long last ignored "non-physical phenomena".

I suppose non-physical phenomena is currently studied by mathematicians, computer scientists, IT security researchers, psychologists and monks.

It would be some other perceived flaw. People always do this. For example, someone wants to make the environment better and starts working for it. Then he gets to hear 'he drives a car!'. Suddenly he is not credible anymore.

To me, this all or nothing attitude is what makes most humans quite dumb.
