Nicola Tesla: What an extraordinary man!
Today (7 January 2018), 75 years ago, Nicola Tesla passed away.
We touch on some of the theories of this extraordinary man in our physical science curriculum, but you might want to know a little bit more of the life of this genius. An abridged summary of his life is available here and a pdf of the article is available here. References are made to Thomas Edison of whom more information is available here. I have always wondered how the world would be had more of his inventions seen the light.
