Tom Paladino has devoted decades to a question most scientists never touch: whether a form of energy he calls scalar energy — inspired by the work of Nikola Tesla — can be harnessed for healing. He joined Sean Kelly on the Digital Social Hour to explain his research, describe how he says his instruments work, and share the testimonies that keep him pursuing it.
It is one of the show's most unconventional conversations. Paladino describes broadcasting energy through photographs, walks through the results his clients report, and lays out a worldview in which the sun and stars power a force he believes mainstream science has overlooked.
About Tom Paladino
Tom Paladino is a researcher who has spent much of his life studying what he describes as scalar energy, a massless energy he says emanates from the sun and the stars. Drawing inspiration from Nikola Tesla's experiments, he developed his own scalar energy instruments and built a practice around them.
Through his company, Scalar Light, Paladino offers remote sessions delivered by way of photographs, an approach he says can support energetic health and well-being. His methods sit outside mainstream science; Paladino points to the thousands of client testimonies he has gathered — and the free introductory sessions he offers — as the evidence he invites newcomers to weigh for themselves.
