Lots of people don't know who Nikola Tesla was.

He's less famous than Einstein. He's less famous than Leonardo. He's arguably less famous than Stephen Hawking.

"he moved to New York in 1884 and developed radio controlled vehicles, wireless energy " - An understatement if ever I heard one.

The guy was a True Genius and one of my heroes, it's about time he got the recognition he deserved.

History and Physics at school in the 60's, this guy was on the agenda as standard, nowadays nothing is really understood by the young. It is not taught either, such a shame
