- Introducing Nikola Tesla: A Great Mind of Science. In this episode of SciShow, Hank brings us the tale of the bizarre and eccentric genius who spent his life contributing in some way to pretty much every cool invention you can think of. Nikola Tesla spoke eight languages and, at the time of his death, held over 700 patents. He also is being investigated by the US government for claiming to have invented a 60 million volt death ray. Learn all about his wild achievements in this new episode of SciShow!

Not giving Tesla unlimited money and resources was the single worst mistake of the modern era.
martinshoosterman
nah
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.
Aric England Wrong. While Im sure some one els evil could have replaced him, they couldnt have done what he did. Besides evil, he was also very smart. And an incredible leader. Do you think its easy to convince people to kill each other.
Aric England Im not saying he was the first, nor did he invent anything. He simply perfected everything. Yes it is true, he was probably in the most perfect time in history to do what he did, but that doesnt mean that just anyone could do it.
I wasn't saying just anyone could've risen to power, only that Hitler wasn't the only one that could've unified the country, specifically in contrast to Tesla, who was a unique type of genius that the world rarely sees.
It's amazing how little Tesla is recognized for his enormous contributions.
Are you serious? He is lauded over on the internet. Everyone talks about how fantastic Tesla was and his list of inventions seems to increase even after his death. I've even heard claims that he helped invent computers. Hundreds of books have been published about him. Physics teachers that teach Electricity and Magnetism love talking about him. He was a superb mind and he is rightly if not overly recognized for his contributions.
Smithy0013 If you ask the average American, that person will most likely not know of Tesla.
YouGotOwnd1000 Not true of my American friends.
Smithy0013 Then you have good friends. I'd be surprised if my friends even know who Edison was!
YouGotOwnd1000 He's recognized in the relevant crowds.
Tesla: I can give you free energy
USA: free hahahaha free hahahaha
+high lion Free-energy. Maybe if he came up with it pre federal bank
hahahaha!!! sounds about right
The corrupted mind is our source of suffering, free yourself!
THERE NOT EXIST FREE ENARGY DEVICE Tesla NEVER captrued any free energy from space!!! his tower was just an capacitaor and an inductor wich
oscillates and make that sparks!!!
They dont like the idea of free. Doesnt rub well with the capitalist system.
so basically tony stark without the billions?
Haha haha haha haha I laughed so hard sorry I had too hahaha ok back to the video.
Yep
Hmmm but the real one
No. Tony Stark doesnt speak 7 languages. Without his AI, he would just be an engineer. Nikola Tesla was so much more
Also Iron Man is fiction, and Tesla isnt 🤷♂️
Gotta say, he had a cool name.
agree
Named after a car... Idk :) (it's a joke don't flame me I understand Tesla was first car was after)
His real name was Nicolae had to change his name in the US due to pronouncing problems
@@juan_ctzz his real name was Nikola and not Nicolae.
@@juan_ctzz lol..thats his real name ik cause he was from my country
anyone else wants to see a movie about Tesla
so so badly. Been saying this for the last 5 years (I had to do some studying about electricity for my work). With all the stupid-assed remakes, rehashes, sequel, and prequels, I would so much love to see a GOOD quality film about the life of Tesla.
See The Prestige.
***** eh... the prestige (although a good movie) featured Nikola Tesla as a minor character. One might say that the movie wouldn't exist without him as he invented the dues ex machina, but that's like saying that Pulp Fiction was about whatever was in the case (res dogs diamonds, Wallace's soul, the second season of 'firefly', whatever).
I want to see a movie about the man who changed the world, not a movie that just mentions him in passing.
There is a movie in production now about tesla funny thing about it is that is that the man who is making it its glen beck yes that guy .
I'll go see it.
When Einstein was asked "What is it like to be the smartest man in the world?" He replied "I don't know, I've never met Tesla."
Sure... I like Tesla, he was one the greatest minds ever, but do not ever compare him to Einstein.
Super Nova yeah coz he's superior.
Milistaier Yeah, cos he proved all his theories, unlike Einstein.
The amount of ignorance here is crazy. Do you guys study physics or engineering?
Super Nova I do actually :D
I have a feeling that Tesla wasn't crazy and could have made the death beam if given enough funding.
Hell, give him a couple million dollars and a couple tons of scrap metal and he probably would have had the internet up and running.
I have a feeling that you never took high school physics.
The Creeper Can't have a laugh about Tesla, guys. The fun police arrived to insult everyone's intelligence. Smooth move.
Extreme Epilepsy And how was I supposed to know you weren't serious? Do you know how many idiots think Tesla actually did make a death beam, created the internet, and a bunch of other equally ridiculous things?
The Creeper Well lets say for a moment I was serious. What would your comment have accomplished? Did you expect it to guilt me into finishing my supposedly incomplete high school education? Or did you just want me to feel bad because I said something you didn't like? Either way, doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
He was not crazy he was beyond our understanding. He knew and saw things that we could never comprehend.
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.
my youngest is named after this genius
master firn
I personally was very disappointed in this video, it didnt fully show how intelligent he was, he is so smart, his work went so far more advanced than what you said.
Tesla coils are awesome. Great to defend your base with it.
Command and conquer?
Jup!
+Auch Hier 2000 volts coming up
+Auch Hier Especially if you add a Tesla trooper or two next to it. Or better yet, converting the Eiffel tower into Tesla coil...
clash of clans lol
It's a shame what happened to the guy, he could have accomplished so much more with his life. His story is both inspirational and tragic. When I hear stories like this and stories of how close many widely regarded masterpieces were to not being published, it makes me wonder how many other geniuses there are out there that never got the recognition they deserved, and how their potential accomplishments were held back.
the guy was basically shutdown by other people
One Name: Immanuel Velikovsky
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.
Nikola Tesla was born in Austrian-Hungarya...today that part of land is Coratia..but that doesn't make him a Croat...he was a Serb
Plus ,Coroatia, doesn't excist..so he was definetly Seoarb all the way
Father Serbian, lived and studied in Croatia.
+Tyler Boyle (CorruptNova) shut up americano you changed history ...now 60% of thr history books and histiry channel are lies...fuck off USA= WORST EVIL
His father was a ortodox priest...Croats were ortodox Serbs but were converted by the Vatican...and in that geographic area only ortodox people were Serbs.And to end it all he declared himself as a Serb
+Swifty_All Star HERE THEY COME THE PARTIOTIC SHITS
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."
tesla will never be forgotten!
I'd give anything to go back in time and say "your work didn't go unapreciated, you kind of changed the world man"
Brynn Ross or you could say to him "save all of your work!"
+IlluminardyGaming I'd tell him to save all his ideas on notes, but do so with heavy coding after telling him that in the future he would ultimately have won over Edison and that we kinda needs his ideas for wireless transmitted electricity and his other ideas, cause they will power our future :)
he knew,
"Let the future tell the truth, and evaluate each one according to his work and accomplishments. The present is theirs; the future, for which I have really worked, is mine."
- Tesla
A man who gave so much, and a proud serbian!
but then who was phone?
***** So he's Austro-hungarian, not Serbian.Case closed
Die jumt...
Scourge Gaming In that case he was Austro-Hungarian, because Croatia didn't exist when he was born. FUCK NATIONALITY FTW
@George Washington Bravo for comment ..
I am Serb and my name is NIkola and all teachers in primary school call me Nikola Tesla because i new physics in my fingers ..there was no physics problem in primary school i could not calculate even with out paper.
BUT then at age off 15 i found that i like girls and alcohol more and you know that goes LOL..but still love scinece and physics
That's sad.
Nikola Tesla never discovered girls. His would be sexual energies directed to his work in physics instead.
coweatsman He transmitted his sexual energy wirelessly, so never had any need for physical contact.
You can still like alcohol and girls at the weekend and making your job during the Week.......
I am Serbian too :)
I am building Tesla's death ray right now.
Really? I did that years ago, now it's in my backyard
HAARP already beat you to it.
u wanna team up?
DK30000 marvin I just need 1000 acres of land that isn't monitored and 1 billion dollars in funding.
Okay, okay, just freshen the air after you finish.
Teslas father was Serbian ortodox priest and mother was Serbian 2. And thay lived in country called Austrian Empire . Croatia didn't exsist in that time my friend! And of course he didn't put his work on paper. He knew how people will love to use others work and make lots of money from that. Like history learned us all!
Svilen Konac koliko god njen komentar bio retardiran, a svaki u kojem se koriste riječi poput "četnik je maksimalno retardiran, tvoj je gori. Najgora stvar sa tom velikosrpskom propagandom je što provocira rat oko nečeg što je nebitno. A bitnija, i druga najgora stvar u vezi sa njom, je što izmišljate neku nauku i historiju da opravdate svoj nacionalizam.
Ukratko, kakve veze ime da li je Srbin ili Hrvat ili vanzemaljac?

The Tony Stark of centuries old.
+jake stockton Shut up, shut up, shut up! :-)
+Junco Partner no you shut up shut up shut up shut up :) :) :)
Everybody shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up :) :) :) :) :)
Jake Stockton Actually Tony is Elon, Howard Stark is Tesla.
@@aslambatcha5683 nah tony is the child tesla never had cuz he didn't get married.
Whereas Elon is like Addison a sort of business man with some talents hiring engineers to work under him. Just like Addison did.
this guy is my hero
Your syntax requires specificity. Who exactly is your hero? Nikola or Hank?
Yeah, he is pretty amazing, except for the pigeons and all. But a nice ambitious Elon Musk kinda guy.
AGuyNamedSmith Yes. We all love Hank
Nikola Tesla is my historical crush❗❗ 😂📖🏆🎓📚
I have been researching Tesla and all his works since I was in elementary school 🆘
He was so incredibly interesting. Do you have any recommendations of books or websites that have the best information. My son is going to be him in our end of the year celebration.
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%.
The government is basically owned by oil companies and a few other monopolies from almost the very start
@@MrAquaElements Rockefeller’s (primarily) and the Rothschilds.
Him and Einstein should have gotten together.
Einstein is a con artist to this day he and his associates have been screwing the American people
they did meet each other a few times before WW2, Einstein was a patent clerk and happened to see one of Nikola's patents. but they did not share ideas...
Einstein was once asked "What is it like being the smartest man alive" to which he responded "I do not know, you will have to ask Nicola Tesla"
I did not know that and I, for some reason, don't doubt it.
Tesla is on another level.
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.
Nikola Tesla was truly a genius.
The comments are an abyss, don't fall in... Scroll back up, damnit!
ALL SHALL FALL!
THANK YOU FOR SAVING ME FROM THIS VIRTUAL HELL
*Peter Griffin is now offline*
I am a proud Serb because of him
+Nikola Novkovic
Then you have a shoe to fill. Stop watching Tv because Nikola wouldn't be doing that, instead he'd be perfecting his new invention.
*kidding*
+Nikola Novkovic Please invent something revolutionary and Earth shattering/ changing.
+4CCB P Just because we are Serbs, doesn't mean we can ever fill his shoes. In fact, I seriously doubt anyone could. Serb or no. He was one of a kind. And he wasn't big into making a profit, which in today's world, is nearly impossible quality to find.
+Stevephone Hocking he was smarter than you
Scorpion 75 Lol! A genius of electricity. The Universe is mine.
Tesla was a complete genius. He is for sure one of my favorites.
Happy 158th birthday Nikola Tesla!
7/10/2014
tesla coils can be used to play music like a boss
SAIL!
Dont get me wrong i respect croatians.but TESLA WAS A SERB born in Croatia,in a part of croatia where mostly serbs were living.
Mihajlo Filipovic and we're all human beings, you might want to open your world view a little.
Mihajlo Filipovic You are giving examples of rather hateful people, and yet you yourself are being quite hateful towards fellow humans who have done you no harm. Yes the people you mentioned were evil, but they were human like you and I, and if they had been brought up differently, or in different cultures, perhaps they would have turned out very differently. They are also the odd ones out; most people aren't tyrants and just because they follow a different religion, live in a different country or culture doesn't mean you should be hateful towards them. In fact, you are putting yourself much closer to Hitler: he did the exact same thing; hating on other religions, races and people for no real reason.
*****
***** dude you either dont know how to read or you dont want to read what i wrote.... these "people" celebrate genocide as their national holiday??? how can i love them? you insane or something. And dont compare me to Hitler!!! My nation lost 1.5 milion ppl because of that animal
Mihajlo Filipovic Yeah, my nation and people too actually. If you don't want to be compared to Hitler, stop being a prejudiced fool
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.
His inventions is just the beginning. Get into 369 and his process of thinking. Mind blowing I promise!
Back then it was not Croatia, it was Austro-Hungarian empire and Tesla was born of Serbian parents who lived in one of the provinces of the empire. Father - priest - only orthodox priests marry (no his dad was not one of those catholic priests who have a family in secret).
So you restated what he said in the beginning... Why exactly?
Cause I can do it, it's no crime doing it.
+tfuntowatch ok, but what compelled you to do it? It makes no sense to
+tfuntowatch so then say that instead of repeating something already said in the video
Well, I can say what I choose to, the choice is mine. It was for the purpose of reiterating, cause there are always some Croats who like to take credit for other peoples/nation achievements.
Tesla was such a awesome guy with great ideas, I dream of being great like him.
Nice quick summary, and pretty accurate. Loved it :)
It has in fact been added to... Flagged As Awesome!
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.
The greatest invention of Tesla was his cloning machine that he made for wolverine
Tofu Kingpin I cant stop laughing
A man that smart will seem crazy to others.
You know it
Someone should make a movie about Tesla. It would be epic!
Can you do episodes on great minds of antiquity? I always find Archimedes and other ancient mathematicians/scientists intriguing because they had to start with nothing. Great channel!
Por favor inclua legenda para tradução no vídeo. Obrigada!
I have Nikola Tesla's death beam papers, and am making the machine right now.
+Thallanar Rabidtooth ya me too I made it a few weeks ago
Plot twist george lucas used that idea for star wars as the dead star o.o
+Thallanar Rabidtooth more like deaf beans
+Thallanar Rabidtooth and i'm from CIA , i'm after you.
+Thallanar Rabidtooth I have Nikola's requested funeral song on my computer.
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!
Simplente un genio con una mente superdesarrollada para su epoca, el video esta increible. Congratulations
hey SciShow, please do a #GreatMinds for 'Srinivas Ramanujan'...(he was a mathematician..) and for Bernhard Riemann too.....(same again a mathematician..)
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.
SacredFire
1+1=2 is a lie
Please elaborate Leonard Orr. I'm interested in what you have to say.
I demand some evidence of such assertions.
it would be cool if you guys did a episode about the Tesla turbine and how efficient it is
Great piece. Small quibble: For AC, what makes the high voltage is step-up and step-down transformers at either end.
Beware the high side?
He's my favorite crazy genius of all time. :)
Tesla was a Serbian ...
Serbs are blood brothers with Russian. Glory of the Slavs! Glory Rod!
Long live my Slav brother!!!!
Yeah and serbia turns its back on russia just to get into "Eu" idiots...
no ... Serbians and russians are and always will be brothers... and I don`t see how this got anything with Tesla ...
nothing of course...you're saying you are brothers but not long ago serbia had a flood and russia sent help and serbia denied it
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.
He was born in Smiljani, his father was an orthodox priest. Croatians were catholic which prooves that he was a Serb. Not much people know that because Croatians keep saying that he is one of them. Tesla's ashes are know in Belgrade(capital of Serbia). You may have also heard of Mihajlo Pupin, also a Serbian genius. Look it up.
not to mention he was born in krajina and his remains are in Belgrade
that's right. few days before he died, he wanted to be buried in Belgrade.
"Keep getting smarter with us..."
Knowledge doesn't make you smart. It's what you do with that knowledge, something called wisdom. And that is wholly dependent upon the individual.
Well, your comment isnt very wise.
The implications of your comment are boundless. Please specify.
Sebastian m gtfo
***** but intelligence reinforces wisdom.
Wisdom is practical, while knowledge can be idle and therefore useless. But having knowledge doesn't make you any smarter, unless that knowledge manifests itself in the form of wisdom.
Why the phrase "Get smarter with us" is an assumption, a message of hope, but not of science.
If only the guy would write down some of his notes, humanity as a whole centuries later would be much more intelligent.
+Kim Huynh Or dead... There is a good reason for which genius people don't write or draw their ideas because idiots would misuse those later. Even I though not really a genius don't draw down schematics or write down a theory on gyroscopic inertial generators. Because if I'm right, those things could be misused a big time :D
He did write down his notes, the government just confiscated all of them after his death.
+Killerean, yeah but if I'm right that you're talking about the field of inertial propulsion/reactionless drives, I can only imagine a world where everyone has anti-gravity devices that would power every single aspect in their lifes. Flying cars, ships, crafts, cargo displacement, cities, epic space propulsion.. If everyone has that same technology, it would revolutionize the world. What dangers do you see may I ask?
*****
Nuclear rockets would be as easy to launch as to buy used flying car and drive it. Today you need billions of dollars only to make delivery system. With anti-gravity propulsion system that is cheap and easy to get you can throw anything on anyone without any larger investment or effort. Imagine flying tanks, warships, cannons, self-driving explosive devices, air strike against a city without a need to even launch a plane. Death by a touch of a button on your smartphone. Every invention has its dark sides.
Or would be destroyed by his Death Ray.
Learning my examples for the SAT in the coolest possible way. Thx scishow
Hank, you are awesome.
Another amazing mind that came from normal parents. How does all these great intelligence came to be?
It's pretty much an evolution and mutation. Because of mutations like with Tesla, homo sapiens are quite intelligent when compared to other animals, even mammals and apes.
KmarkecGamer
shame tesla failed to pass this superior mutation on........ his kids couldve of been equally brilliant.
KmarkecGamer
Haha yeah thats one way to view it. I think Tesla was just one of those people who could experience the full power of the human brain without all the limiting, and programming.
X-Men
***** I don't think he was autistic... he did speak 8 languages and seemed like a pretty social fellow. Maybe he was just a brilliant man. In my psychology course we talk about how people are especially affected by their surroundings (friends, etc) in the building of what we are and will be.. Also, epigenetics might play a role in all that.
Please talk more about Tesla's patents!
Your intro caused me to spew beer onto my work bench. Great job!
very very very Thanks for doing a episode on Great mind Nikola-tesla
Tesla is such a genius that I wholeheartedly believe a lot of the so called "crazy" claims he made
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.
Thank you for this episode, it is really interesting!!
In 1:29, the background picture shows town of Rijeka, Croatia (not Tesla's hometown Smiljan, Croatia). Glad to see my hometown the way it used to look :)
tesla spoke eight languages
well i speak four of the same ones he spoke bosnian,croatian,serbian,montenegran
and English.
J Marquez yes
J Marquez but nhe joke is that those for are basicly he same language
hehe good one man
And yet you arent half as intelligent as him
OMG, AC vs. DC+ AC/DC (the band)
Mind. Blown. Bam.
....-_-
Sorry, damn it, my cousins keep watching these videos and making stupid comments like that. I need to change my password again, this has happened before...
Jade Frank Nice excuse you have there, kid!
wow, thanks, for the faith people...
"AC/DC" was an Australian slang term for bisexuality, which is why it made a great, racy band name.
"What about those who swing both ways ... AC/DCs?" -- Beck
Best episode ever
Great video - you have a way about you that makes history interesting and fun .
Do a video of tesla and einsteins dispute over the existence of an ether!
If he didnt get nervous breakdown we would have free electricity today !
USA Government wouldnt have that they would immediately shut it down. no one would make money and all people care about is money :( even tho its just paper
Young J Just in America everyone thinks only about money , in Europe it could actually be possible honestly
Dadacool's Realm THE TOWER WOULD NOT HAVE WORKED. I love Tesla, but he was burdened by a disturbed childhood and years of poverty.
Ethan Armbrust It was somewhat feasible, I'm sure if he had free reign to do what ever he would have figured it out, eventually.
yea, and would would have about half the current population to, would you still be here?
It is one of the best episodes on this channel.
Thanks for the great information on Tesla
the greatest genius.
The Forgotten Hero.
Awesome episode!
I was surprised you guys covered Tesla; in fact I am pleased about that. 😊
Can you and John please stop cursing in these videos? I'd love to use them in my classroom, but even one "bad word" means I can't :(
I can't hear what the bad word is. I'm genuinely curious as to what it was
Lmao what do you teach? Second graders?
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.
It takes a young person to appreciate and share Tesla, who has been a model for serious artists for ages..
Please do a Alfred Nobel great minds!! I love this show!
Tesla wanted to make FREE energy but Edision capitalised on it.
U cant say that his talk was crazy talk , he could build a project in his head and test if it will work before he build it...so who knows what would happen if Morgan didnt cut off Tesla :)
thank u very much for doing a video on Nikola tesla... who is long lost and forgotten despite of his marvelous inventionss and help to the mankind..the greatest of greatest Nikola tesla..
Tesla also lived in celibate his whole life... for reasons that dissatisfy me as a woman, as I want to think that I could do more than just inspire. Here's a quote:
"I had always thought of woman as possessing those delicate qualities of mind and soul that made her in these respects far superior to man. I had put her on a lofty pedestal, figuratively speaking, and ranked her in certain important attributes considerably higher than man. I worshiped at the feet of the creature I had raised to this height, and, like every true worshiper, I felt myself unworthy of the object of my worship. But all this was in the past. Now the soft-voiced gentle woman of my reverent worship has all but vanished. In her place has come the woman who thinks that her chief success in life lies in making herself as much as possible like man--in dress, voice and actions, in sports and achievements of every kind."

I would got out on a limb and say the US govt has his documents ( ALL ) of them. The took them an applied his knowledge to thing we will never know about. Unless that one day gets leaked. Also the easiest way to dismiss and or descredit someone is to call them crazy...when in fact they are a GENIUS
Nice vid!!!
I love SciShow, no really, like a lot!
Damn, the lack of charisma is too real in 2012.
yeah why are we not even trying wireless power yet a huge waste of money monolith to apathy, pyrimid being built in dubai??? world needs a wake up call....HELLO, HELLO , THINK MCFLY ,THINK!!!
you cant build wireless power, not even today's technology and smartest minds can replicate Tesla's work.. with technology from over 100 years ago. he was just that good
We do have wireless power. However, it's a huge waste of money and just easier to use wires.

Worstname evar They can't replicate his work because it was complete bullshit.
The Creeper You are a complete bullshit.

Por qué será que en los últimos años se habla tanto de el?
Just imagine if he'd lived 20 more years. Our world today would of been drastically different.
