I don't know if this is a repost but if it is then I'm sorry

As an electrical engineer I can tell you he only invented about HALF the crap everyone credits him with.

Didn't the English make radar during the second world War?

9 years ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 2

I'm assuming it means he had a hand in it. Not that he did it by himself

Iirc they adopted a new more powerful version of the original radar devices during the war.

Tesla did not invent the ac motor. He took the design and made one that worked.

The night Tesla was born there was a huge lightning storm. Also, he had theorized that psychic energy was actually radio type waves 1/2

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

Which is complete bullshit, of course. He was rather mentally ill, especially in his later years.

And frequencies. Which is why people naturally click and naturally dont. They operate on similar or different frequencies. This is how 2/3

He knew when his mother died. He wrote down that he sensed she died, and a month or two later he got a letter that confirmed it on that date

Tesla was from the Austrian Empire, not from Austria. It's like saying someone born in Nazi occupied Greece is German.

Hey, now. It was lawful Austrian territory, not under occupation!

*Austro-Hungarian Empire

9 years ago | Likes 12 Dislikes 2

Um, the Austro-Hungarian Empire was created in 1867. He was born in 1856.

9 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

At the time of his birth, his nationality was Austro-Hungarian and his ethnicity was Serbian.

He wasn't Austro-Hungarian as anyone was either an Austrian or Hungarian citizen.

Also born, raised and educated in today's Croatia.

It literally says 'Smiljan, Austrian Empire' next to the little silhouette with 'Austria' written on it.

The picture is of modern day Austria, two borders away from modern day Croatia, both former parts of the Austro-Hungarian empire.

9 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 1

I got that the accompanying image was wrong I just thought he had missed that it did correctly said he was born in the Austrian Empire. 1/2

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

Also if you're saying it should be Austro-Hungarian empire that didn't exist until 11 years after Tesla's birth. 2/2

I just wanted to say no one here identified as Austrian or Austro-Hungarian, we were far from colonised or integrated, just another annex.
