Biography
Nikola Tesla was a Serbian-American inventor, electrical engineer, and futurist best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current electrical supply system. His patents and theoretical work formed the basis of modern AC power and contributed to radio, remote control, radar, and computer science. He could visualize complete inventions in his mind before building them. Despite his genius, he died in relative poverty, having prioritized innovation over profit.
Philosophy
The present is theirs; the future, for which I really worked, is mine. The mind is the greatest tool - learn to use it fully. Science is but a perversion of itself unless it has as its ultimate goal the betterment of humanity.
Famous Quotes
“The present is theirs; the future, for which I really worked, is mine.”
“If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration.”
“I do not think there is any thrill that can go through the human heart like that felt by the inventor.”
