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 19 2004, 1:53 AM) I don't know why you seem to be obsessed with Tesla, but there are hundreds of other scientists who have got little recognition for what they have contibuted to the world of science. For example, Norman Heatley (who used to be a student at my school, apparently) who turned the discovery of penicillin into usable medicine, is virtually unknown compared to Alexander Flemming who discovered penicillin by mistake. Flemming didn't have a clue what to do with his discovery and little did he know that it would lead to saving millions of lives. It was only through Heatley's work that penicillin became of use to us - but nowadays Flemming seems to get more recognition for his "miraculous" discovery of penicillin, maybe because it sounds a bit "romantic". I'm not obsessed with Tesla. If you want to discuss Heatley, you can make another topic about him. But thanks for the info, i've learned something new  .QUOTE seems to be a little off topic, but i'm just complaining cuz i dont know who you're talking about, lol but anyways, on the topic, i vote edison simply because if it werent for the lightbulb, i'd have no light by which to post this but you wouldn't have stable electricity to power your computer to post without Tesla's AC system. |
