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! |

QUOTE(tkproduce @ May 18 2004, 8:45 AM) 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 oh yeah. i forgot that the smithsonian would rather make money than educate the people. maybe people would know more about Tesla if they made a display for him. just an hour ago, a speaker at our awards ceremony talked about edison's greatness and how he tried very hard to become successful. but the truth is, he hired hundreds of workers at Menlo Park, New Jersey to do experiments for him. He worked using a trial and error method, trying dozens of times before he got the experiment right. Tesla, lacking Edison's wealth, would try his best to get it right the first time. |
