Tesla Made a Death Ray—and the Government Stole It? (Director’s Cut)

Nikola Tesla made a death ray—and the government stole it. At least, that’s the theory today. But what if Rob told you there’s a much deeper story to this electricity genius than anyone knew: one of pain, struggle, sabotage, weapons of war, and technological feats the world still has not yet come to terms with?

That left so many questions. You don’t just start your scientific genius legacy by building a death ray, so what led up to that point? How did the nations of the world find out about the mechanism if Tesla was such a solitary, eccentric dude?

There are claims Nikola Tesla was just an amazing savant with a photographic memory, or that he was really an alien from another planet. Metaphysical dug into the FBI’s archives, old newspapers, and Tesla’s own documents to find out more.

In this special, extended director’s cut episode of Metaphysical, Rob Counts shares it all, from the infiltrators who were after him to the otherworldly communications he had to the most bizarre things he discovered in his life that will honestly shock you. Of course, he’ll get into which governments of the world desperately wanted to weaponize the death ray, as well.

Here are the secrets of the father of electricity, Nikola Tesla.
