Norton e Woodword, esaminando i protocolli di controllo mentale presenti subliminalmente in Episode II, si richiamano agli studi dello scienziato di Nikolai Tesla, uno dei fisici più indagati a proposito della continuità tra energia visibile, energia mentale ed energia "sottile".
Tesla aveva in mente un sistema di corrente alternata, quindi non più corrente sempre con la stessa polarità, bensì una corrente che alterna la sua polarità con una certa frequenza fissa e prestabilita.
Quest'ultima invenzione per Tesla dimostrava l'applicabilità di una sua grandissima aspirazione inventiva: trasmettere l'energia elettrica senza fili e gratis a tutte la case del mondo tramite l'aria.

Nikolai Tesla's inventions revolutionize the world into a pulp SF wonderland.
The fact is that we don't understand the physical laws of Gernsback and aren't likely to in the near future, considering the very low profile outtimers must take there.
Other than natural laws, the chief point of historical divergence occurred in the late 1890s, when Nikolai Tesla developed broadcast electrical power well in advance even of the things that needed electrical power.
