martinshoosterman If Hitler hadn't been elected, some other psychopath would've come to power in his place. The German people had just lost WW1, and because of that were saddled with more debt than could possibly have been paid off, and were (are) a remarkably disciplined and industrious group, generally speaking. Basicaly, all the building blocks for Nazi Germany were there waiting to be taken advantage of whether or not Hitler ended up existing and being the one to do it, or not. Tesla was a one-of-a-kind genius that might have given us unlimited free power in the 50's, and would have definitely sped up humanity's technological advancement by a few decades at least. It's apples and oranges, really.

Also,an interesting fact about Tesla was that he actually had a dream when he was 17 in Serbia that he would one day harness the power of Niagra falls to power an exhibition. This came true when he used the power for the worlds first electricity expo show,and just before the show, for which he won the contract ,the Edison company, the makers of the lightbulbs he was going to use,refused to let him use their bulbs,so he had to invent his own,he did just in time and the show went on to be a roaring success.

What, Tesla reported receiving messages from extraterrestrials? I told him explicitly not to speak about our correspondence. But I guess he couldn't help bragging about, even if he knew that Earthlings would make fun of him.

THANK YOU SO MUCH for doing an episode on Nikola Tesla! I only heard Tesla's name for the first time about a year ago. He sounded interesting, so I did some research that shocked me beyond words. How could I never have heard of someone so amazing, whose inventions I used every single day? Since then, I've been trying to tell my school about Tesla. Three projects across various subjects, an extra credit poster, and a five page paper about Tesla later, my friends know a bit about him. The Forgotten Genius is not so forgotten any more; he is being rediscovered by the very world he helped shape. Several Tesla Quotes: "I don't care that they stole my idea. I care that they don't have any of their own." "Let the future tell the truth, and evaluate each one according to his work and accomplishments. The present if theirs; the future, for which I have really worked, is mine." "I will not be known by today, but one day men will look back and say I gave power to the modern world." Also, to give you an idea of how smart Tesla was, look at this: Einstein was once asked how it felt to be the smartest man alive. His reply was, "I don't know, you'll have to ask Nikola Tesla."

Failed to mentioned how he was raided by the government several times and they're who caused the fire. All to stop him from supplying free energy to the world (and for several other reasons I'm sure, it's how genius is treated and it's sad). He also came up with the idea of manipulating weather via frequencies. Government then earnestly began trying to do the same, but in much more harmful ways that ended up lowering overal ozone by 4%.

As a Serb, greatly proud of our Serbian and one of the world's greatest minds to ever live, without whom the world would be maybe centuries behind, I am very grateful SciShow did this video. But, I couldn't help but notice the undermining tone and attitude that was underlying the whole video. He was too generous with the word 'crazy' that almost felt like 'idiotic' at some point. He acts as one of those people who due to not understanding some of his ideas, renders him crazy, which shouldn happen since the speaker is a man of science as well, in some way and therefore should have greater understanding and acceptance of people ahead of their age. He also failed to stress out the altruistic and humane nature of Tesla. He actually ridicules it. Tesla's humility and absence of pride for someone of that success is something that should be largely appreciated, since is soo rare amongst people of that description, like Edison. Thank you for doing this video but Tesla is unbelievably much more than you mentioned in this video, both as ingenious inventor and Human above all.

hey SciShow, please do a #GreatMinds for 'Srinivas Ramanujan'...(he was a mathematician..) and for Bernhard Riemann too.....(same again a mathematician..)

Tesla is such a genius that I wholeheartedly believe a lot of the so called "crazy" claims he made

That was an awesome video!! Yo Mr. Hank can you or John do one on M.K Ataturk?? He was real smart with what he tried to do... his school systems and the the things his built and accomplished are brilliant!

Thank you for the nice introduction to Tesla but there's so much more Scishow only scratched the surface here. All of Tesla's biographies are worth deep dives.

Please talk more about Tesla's patents!

That boy said some very incorrect informations about Mr.Tesla and some rather shallow remarks about this truly great mind.. I mean I understand teens today like to watch some laid back. cool, funny and dynamic vids while learning something they are interested in but making false or even ironic statements which Tesla never said and was never part of just to be Funny/cool is Tabloid journalism rather then smart or "cool". I will not go trough all of them but just to mention couple which I would be ashamed of to say about Tesla in any context: - Tesla did NOT report recieving ANY messages from ET's EVER but the journalists (much like you probably) greedy for sensationalism took his statement out of context in which he was speaking about mere feedback radio signal from Mars which he 'echoed', the journalists added ET's and all the shabang. - Morgan did not pull the (financial) plug because it was more expensive then Tesla first told him it would be but because he was cunning enough to realise he wont be able to put a meter on energy available to everybody anywhere in infinite amounts, which was the ultimate idea of the "bonus" or additional purpose of Long Island project. - Tesla was NOT living in fancy hotels nor he was living any kind of posh life.style until very late, he was digging ditches, working Labour and bearly surviving for big chunk of time till Westingouse agreed to invest in his first lab. - and so on and so on... You're doing nice job, interesting subjects, but please guys eitehr INFORM yourself a bit deeper then wikipedia or if you already are then please dont try to adorn something already amazing and interesting enough just for the sake of sensation and "fun"...

I'm sorry, but this is just plain not true and I don't know why things like what you're saying appear all over the internet. I get that you want your idol to be the underdog who proves why capitalism and the media are evil and no one understood him but the world just isn't that simple.

SacredFire yes yes but what is "just plain not true" I live in capitalism and have lived in few different systems since late 70's, I have no idea what are you mumbling about ? I Idolise who ? Tesla ? Why would I idolise anybody ? Besides it had nothing to do with politics or media, I am just tired of people which speak about subjects they dont know much about.. Next time tell me more precisely which part I stated is "just not true" plesae, otherwise go read a book about Tesla or at least watch something properly and genuine about his life.

Tesla is one of the most popular scientist here in Serbia,and we was tought in school a lot about him and his inventions, and i have to say thank you SciShow for bringing the truth about man who wanted to share his great mind and his corruptles soul with the rest of the world. This man needs to be respected for his legacy.

Someone should make a movie about Tesla. It would be epic!

Wow I love the snarky, sarcastic overtones of this entire video. I thought this was a tribute video, not a Perez Hilton style satiric rant.

tesla spoke eight languages well i speak four of the same ones he spoke bosnian,croatian,serbian,montenegran

Great video - you have a way about you that makes history interesting and fun .

Tesla is a hero of mine. Have stayed at the New Yorker hotel in Manhattan where tesla lived and worked. Took up two rooms, one for living quarters and one for his lab. They have plaques on the doors in the hotel which I took photos of. Was awesome experience just to be there.

Wich genius has not been called crazy? He was too far ahead of mankind to be truly understood by the people of his time. And probably in our time as well. The more i have learned about him the more i admire this man, for he was a true scientist that wanted to make all people's lives easier. He was respsonsible and not out to make money, an example for all.

Thanks for the great information on Tesla

Please do a Alfred Nobel great minds!! I love this show!

"When wireless is fully applied the earth will be converted into a huge brain capable of response in every one of its parts." .. so basically the internet? So we could have had the internet nearly a hundred years ago?

Damn, the lack of charisma is too real in 2012.

It takes a young person to appreciate and share Tesla, who has been a model for serious artists for ages..

It is one of the best episodes on this channel.

I know it's a bit late Hank,but thanks for doing this Tesla tale. How about one on Crop Circles,that would be interesting as well as fascinating. So here is your 1st factoid to start you off: The term 'Crop circles' was first used by Colin Andrews who is one of three experts who investigate the phenomena.

Great video. How about a video on Norbert Wiener

I bet we would be living in a far more developped world if Tesla was given the resources he needed, Or we would all be dead, ether case, we'd be bette than we are now :p
