Nikola Tesla
Few figures in scientific history have the atmosphere of a mythology around them as does Nikola Tesla (1856-1943). Anyone who is familiar with Nikola Tesla's tale understands that any phrase used to characterize his career may seem reductive. Scientist, physicist, engineer, and inventor are insufficient terms to characterize Nikola Tesla's life. Perhaps brilliance is an inadequate description of this man's existence.
Tesla, a pivotal figure in the electrical revolution, was the prototypical crazy genius. He created the Tesla coil, an emblem of the crazy scientist's laboratory due to its amazing electrical discharges. He has extraordinary mental talents that enabled him to conceptualize and create sophisticated electrical devices in his thoughts without taking notes.
Nikola Tesla was a genius whose innovations altered the course of human history. Thus, it's unsurprising that a sizable portion of the population regards the bright scientist as a kind of deity. According to them, Tesla is the genuine inventor of an astounding number of essential innovations, including the transistor, radio, radar, X-ray, and alternating current.
