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!

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.

Well all the Smithsonian cares about is how many people come and visit and how much money they can make from ticket sales, and so displaying stuff about a more widely known scientist (i.e. Edison) over a scientist with a slightly lower profile (i.e. Tesla) is going to attract more visitors who are likely to know nothing about physics but have heard of Edison. That's reality, i guess
