I do not want to start a fight on who was the best if not greatest genius of the times; I think that they all contributed what portions they were destined to contribute. We all know that genius is a small space away from madness or it seems that way. I love Einstein and the books that have been written about him and his work and theories even I have noticed that if you get more than one scientist in a room you end up with someone getting into an argument about a particular specialty that either of them share. But this is part of the scientific process at least it has always been since I have been involved with it. Tesla was a very intelligent man who because of his short comings with business matters found himself locked out of many things and often ripped off by those shrewder I am speaking of Thomas Edison and his son as well as Guglielmo Marconi using some of teslas radio equipment and arranging them in particular ways was able to win the Noble the contraption which I think both tesla and him should have shared but tesla would not due to his hatred for the man and Marconi’s attitude. He also had some dealings I think it was JB Morgan to build some of his things especially the Large Tesla Coil which he started but did not manage the build or money right. He was also known to party too much with he rich folk who loved him and well in NY even then it was expensive to live and as he did not favor money how he did the things he did without I will never know. I hope one day his work will be known and if he was not such a genius why was it that the government took all of his research. Course there is curiosity as to just what he was working on and for whom. I would suggest reading up on these men and see what made them tick you might find you have lots in common. Note: Keep in mind some of this is fact and some is opinion I like both Einstein and Tesla and admire Edison and his generation for what they did for America and business in general. Business is business I think the saying goes.
