Demyx. 10,064 Posted May 27, 2013 (edited) Well it is possible that Tesla created the light bulb. He worked for Edison for a short time and it was around the time that Edison "created" the light bulb. Edison was basically just a CEO so he probably never created the light bulb. Someone else did. But it is possible that he came up with the idea. However the type of electricity we run on right now was created by Tesla. He was actually working on a way to get free electricity to the entire world. But other electric companies had the project shut down. Tesla is actually a very important, interesting person in history that doesn't get much credit for things. He had over 200 hundred patents on many of his inventions one of the patents was even on radio. But another guy came after him Tesla just let him use it. He was a crazy man who had a deep relationship with a pigeon “I have been feeding pigeons, thousands of them foryears. But there was one, a beautiful bird, pure white with light greytips on its wings; that one was different. It was a female. I had onlyto wish and call her and she would come flying to me.I loved that pigeon as a man loves a women, and she loved me. As long as I had her, there was a purpose to my life.”. He actually never even had sex. Many women would come onto him but he was always to busy coming up with new inventions.

RoxSox 3,593 Posted May 27, 2013 Tesla was a motherfiretrucking boss. He invented a whole bunch of shit that he never got credit for, and Edison was a douchebag all the way. I don't think it was either Tesla nor Edison who invented the lightbulb, (though I wouldn't be surprised if Tesla made a prototype in the womb) but Edison certainly stole it. I don't have a link offhand to show the true bossness of Tesla and the dipshittery of Edison, but I've seen the same information from enough sources to believe this: Tesla is a boss who never got the credit for anything he did. Guy practically invented the modern world and no one knows it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RoxSox 3,593 Posted May 27, 2013 Telsa was great but that's waaaaay in the past so there's no point in worrying about it now. He has sort of gotten a bit of retroactive appreciation. I guess it's some consolation... it would have been nice for him to have been alive to see it though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
