Few words again about Nikola TESLA, Serbian-American GEEK! In time when the majority of the world was still lit by CANDLE POWER, an electrical system (known as ALTERNATING CURRENT or better known as the AC) was invented by GEEK named Nikola Tesla. To this day this is what powers every home on this BLUE planet. If you think:Haaaa! But I thought THOMAS EDISON was the father of the electrical age, I would say NOPE, it was Tesla! Edison DID NOT invent the light bulb, he stole and improved upon the ideas of 22 other inventors who pioneered the light bulb BEFORE EDISON! Him, Edison JUST figured out HOW TO SELL the light bulb! Tesla worked for Edison early in his career indeed. In that time Edison offered to young Tesla the modern equivalent of a 1 million dollars to fix the problems Edison was having with his DC motors. And Tesla did fix those problems. When Tesla asked for money he was promised, Edison said: LOL.. Man, you dont understand OUR American humor! Now I have to admit, even though this is now quite normal to say but Edison was NON-GEEK who was swimming in a GEEK space! Edison was neither a mathematician nor a scientist. Edison believed he could just hire people to do that for him! No, he was not prehistoric Steve Jobs! No, he was more like Bil Gates, perfidious idea thief. However, Gates is sharing his fortune with poor and seek people! Edison WAS NOT doing this!
