Most people believe it was Thomas Eddison who invented the electric lightbulb and harnessed controlled and built 3 phase electricity machines, something that controls almost 98 % of every electrical appliance that is in use today, when it was in fact Tesla, but Eddison was the favoured scientist being American, whereas Turkish Tesla was thought to be somewhat of as madman.
Subsequently, the american's stole Tesla's ideas and made it impossible for him to gain funding from any where for his research, which is a shame as in 1897 he drew plans and working models for an electric floating train (just been "reinvented" in japan using Tesla's own blueprints)that could have realistically travelled at over 300 miles per hour, when steam trains of the time struggled to reach 40 :shock:
He also was working on the use of micro - waves to heat things (such as food) ring any bells? But unfortunately died whilst exposing himself to massive amounts of electro radiation working on a secret project thought to have been a molecular transporter, hence the appearance of his character in the recent film "The Prestige". There are rumours he succeeded with building this machine but it was taken away by the american government after his death and stored away as it was deemed far to dangerous to ever be tested!!
Tesla was a genius id love to meet him!
& why the so called strange rituals :dunno: .
I agree! very very yuck!
:twisted:
