Wireless Transmissions and Martian Deception

On Halloween Eve, October 30, 1938, actor and writer, Orson Welles established the most famous connection ever between Mars and wireless technology. But it was far from the most provocative. The broadcast of H.G. Wells, War of the Worlds (1898), scared the pants off at least one million Americans, especially in the northeast United States. Orson Welles changed H.G. Wells’ place names from England to New York and rendered the broadcast in the manner of a live eyewitness. By doing so, the program transfixed its listeners.[1] Wireless technology in its then most ubiquitous form, the radio, proved that intelligent life ON THIS WORLD could be duped into believing the most amazing propositions if broadcasters cleverly fashioned their production to blur fantasy and reality. Fast forward to today: deceiving the masses with wireless technology constitutes a fully perfected science. Television, the most popular wireless communication medium, seems the grand master of deception. A case in point: the line between news and entertainment has never been so thin.

But Welles’ Mercury Theater presentation of 1938 was hardly the first instance where the population has been beguiled by mention of Mars amidst wireless transmission. In fact, as this article will demonstrate some of our smartest scientists have been guilty of letting their imagination run away with itself in the search for intelligence on other worlds.

Not that this spectacular “astrobiological” detective work isn’t genuinely alluring. The prospect of discovering life on another world, or to be more specific, to be the first scientist to confirm intelligent life exists elsewhere, could forever emblazon one’s name in the history books.

What scientist with a larger than life ego (which seems an essential ingredient to become famous in all forms of scientific research), wouldn’t be eager to make his or her mark in this way? To underscore the point, we will talk here about two ultra-famous scientists who invented the most important forms of both wired and wireless technology and how they romantically employed their inventions in an incredible attempt to confirm life on Mars. In fact, as we recount their stories the reader should make note that these two scientists, Nikola Tesla (1856 – 1943) and Gugliemo Marconi (1874 – 1937), not unlike their predecessors, were driven over the line from the realm of science into the murky dominion of the supernatural. However non-intuitive this migration may appear, this paranormal perspective reigns steadfast with the almost all exotic scientific inquiries down through the ages.
