Its about the man himself.

Thomas Edison fried an Elephant!

Serbian? Say what!

he lived in New York I think, but he was Serbian.

Well I knew he was born in Croatia, things you learn on the way.

But he is no wizard of speed and time

I'm a big Tesla fan, but this video strikes me as a propaganda piece made by somebody who has a boner for him.

after watching that, i downloaded a history channel or bbc doco on him, Certainly a Very fascinating man, had some grand ideas.

there are some pretty whacko tesla 'docos' out there... i watched one fairly recently which i would classify as a quasi-religious fairytale than a documentary. they claimed tesla invented everything from teleporters to perpetual motion devices that 'no one had been able to explain or duplicate since!!'. no doubt feuled by the recent fictional work called 'the prestige' they make out like tesla was more of a wizard than a scientist. heh.

THE FLASHES! THE GOGGLES.. THEY DO NOTHING.

At the time those guys sure would have seemed like wizards, not many people had an understanding of the science behind those gizmos. We're only taught it now to be able to maintain our technology drenched society.

so pretty much this guy just invented the alternator, then sat around and got high on ozone for the rest of his life?

No, we're mistaught so as to not think for oursleves....

It's the real reason why video piracy is hounded so much. When you rip a movie an compress it, you incidentally remove the subliminal stuff

:PS - use this idea in a movie an I don't get paid, I'm coming for you (from the inside!)

You're right, all those physics formulas were lies.
