This is the 153th birthday of The Man Who Invented 20th Century (and also 21st century). There are a lot to say on his works and life, and how Edison prevented his work, etc, but i am not going to go over and detail them.
Tesla was a great man, and a researcher mostly known for his interest in Magnetism and Electricity. He is also the real inventor of Radio. He’s the inventor of Alternative Current, which we use today. He designed the future in his mind. Rumor is that he worked on transferring energy in the air and actually designed them. Research is still going on this topic, roughly 100 years after his works.
I found a great video on his life and works, recommend you to watch.
Tesla doesn’t have the fame he deserve today, but for me, he is the hero of today’s technology, not Edison!
