Tesla was hundreds of years ahead of his time. He developed technology to transit power through the air itself (of course none of this technology would allow TV, radio, or satellite to function if it were in use today). He invented radio (and won a lawsuit against marconi in the US supreme Court finding he invented it and marconi ripped it off). There is enormous speculation about his death and his later work in dealing with bending space-time -- many claim he succeeded. He was however, considered somewhat of a showman, and by some ,a charlatan, but his achievements speak for themselves. Tesla was someone who existed in another reality of his own creation. He was born 100 years apart from me on the same day. I think I can understand how he felt.
