Poems
From his childhood on Tesla wrote poetry but considered it too personal to be published.[15] In the late 1920s,
Tesla composed a poem—"Fragments of Olympian Gossip"—for his friend, George Sylvester Viereck, an
illustrious German poet and mystic. It poked vitriolic fun at the scientific establishment of the day.[16] For
example, he derided Albert Einstein for claiming that matter and force are transmutable (Mass–energy
equivalence), noting that Archimedes and Isaac Newton had stated that they are not.[17]
