Nikola Tesla was a man ahead of his time. His advancements in electricity were radical, helping to usher in the modern age, with his influence seen in anything from X-rays to remote control. His World Wireless System had the potential to advance technology by nearly a century, while also providing free energy to the globe. Unlike so many of his era, Tesla did not work for financial gain, instead working to advance humanity. Perhaps it is not surprising that a man so far ahead of his time has only found his place in the 21st century, an age shaped by his technological brilliance.

  • I am deeply offended that we were taught About Edison who was portrayed as a hero. I don't recall Tesla in our textbooks two decades ago.
  • @marcos.9667
    His only „fault“ was, he did all for people, not for the money. Thats how this world deals with people like Nikola Tesla.
  • The way this man died and how he has not been properly remembered and honored is a historic tragedy. AC current alone has sustained us globally for a century.
  • Rarely do I voice an opinion. Looking back at my education, I have to say that I am more than dis-heartened. It was only about Edison, and 10k+ attempts for the electric light bulb. Tesla brings tears to my eyes because of his genius unrecognized. Excellent synopsis.
  • @1tarawho
    This man has been erased from our history and this deeply saddens me!!! He was brilliant and I am a teacher of history. I have my students look Tesla up and we do lessons on him and his inventions. I will try my best to educate our youth about this incredible man and all his accomplishments!!!
  • @t-mac1951
    Unappreciated genius. So many years ahead of his time

    “The present is theirs; but the future, for which I really worked so hard for is mine.” Nikola Tesla

    "The one who plants trees, knowing that he will never sit in their shade, has at least started to understand the meaning of life"
  • @highfive9432
    The fact that my 7th grade son has heard of Thomas Edison but not Nikola Tesla is more evidence that our education system is broken
  • @marecare9154
    Einstein was asked how it felt to be the smartest man on Earth, Einstein replied, "I wouldn't know. Ask Nikola Tesla".
  • This is a heartbreaking story . Possibly the start of the great cover up. I feel he held the key to filling the missing parts of technology we still don't know about. The sheer fact we are taught nothing about him just fuels the cover up fire 🔥
  • He’s still a couple of centuries ahead. His works still are being figured out by certainly many top minds. He’s next level quadrupled.
  • @joneri85
    A man so ahead of his time, that people honor him a 100yrs later
  • I cried when I heard he died poor in a hotel room eating milk n cracker only. Why am I so emotional 😭
  • THIS beautiful man died poor and alone in a hotel room and that's heartbreaking. It makes me so depressed looking at this frail, thin man in the last picture of him. He will forever live in our History, books, through his inventions and the world should cherish his memory. He was truly one of a kind. Truly the definition of a genius.
  • @killycross960
    I can't stop crying when I watch this program about Nickolas Tesla. I feel hurt and sadness within me. Is anyone feeling like me?
  • @quilmesdave
    I get so emotional, when I hear about Nikola Tesla....Why, was he left out of the history books? He was a genius. He loved people. he loved humanity....
  • @Willow-fs8dq
    As a child, Edison was taught in history class as the great inventor of electricity. A lie. The truth was Tesla was the genius behind electricity, Edison was a greedy, sly opportunist, who took advantage of Tesla. It is heartbreaking the condition that Tesla was in at the end of his life. He obviously was starving to death, living on milk and crackers. His appearance is shocking and sad in his final days. Was there no one who could have found compassion enough to give him nourishment and kind enough to befriend him and give visits to a lonely man? Our government had no right to seize his work, but I am not shocked by it. He was taken advantage of, and instead was exploited by so many. May he rest in perfect peace, something that eluded him in life.
  • I love Nikola Tesla. I did not learn about him in school. I came across him by my own studying and I really appreciate this most incredible human being. A true gentleman and a genius. God bless you Nikola Tesla 💜🕊
