vote please.

honestly i think Tesla was the greater of the two. he gets sooooo little recognition for his work. AC > DC. Tesla > Edison.

EDISON IS A DIRTBAG!

well, magnetic flux density is measured in Teslas (T). Edison doesn't have any unit named after him.

I think Edison seems to be more famous for what he did because it's easier to explain to little kids the concept of discovering the lightbulb compared to the uses of alternating current. But in the world of physics, both are just as famous as each other.

but edison does have many electric companies bearing his name.

and as i said earlier, the smithsonian refuses to honor tesla with a display (as far as i know). this guy is making Tesla sculptures and sending them to major universities to protest the Smithsonian's actions. let me find the link.
