Nikola Tesla Explained In 16 Minutes | Best Nikola Tesla Documentary

Nikola Tesla was a man ahead of his time. His advancements in electricity were radical, helping to usher in the modern age, with his influence seen in anything from X-rays to remote control. His World Wireless System had the potential to advance technology by nearly a century, while also providing free energy to the globe. Unlike so many of his era, Tesla did not work for financial gain, instead working to advance humanity. Perhaps it is not surprising that a man so far ahead of his time has only found his place in the 21st century, an age shaped by his technological brilliance.

Was there no one who could have found compassion enough to give him nourishment and kind enough to befriend him and give visits to a lonely man?

Tesla was not a physicist, he was a dumb engineer. AC was not a new thing, it was one consequence of Maxwell's equations. He was just like any other dumb engineer, applying physics. He criticized Einstein's work because, obviously, he could not understand it. He did not trust in mathematics because he did not know how to comprehend it. He, for the most part, just boasted off that he has discovered something in Physics, when he did not. If he did, he would run like dogs for publishing it. EINSTEIN did not give a **** about what he said, instead appreciated his work in engineering.
