I do not know it all--- if I did, I would be delusional! That is a hands down! What I have read is that Edison, with a DC electrical system, stole from Tesla the idea of a AC electrical system. If there is any truth to this story, Tommy was an ass hole.

@Diogenes Edison did not steal the AC system. He was totally against it. He saw that it was dangerous and could kill (which it can). Unfortunately DC is not viable for long distance transmission so Edison's system lost out.

I can imagine that being unique, and correct, could be viewed in many different ways.

Is there an explanation for a huge portion of the world not believing in science? The Christian portion believe that some mythical dude fornicated with the "Virgin Mary". Is one supposed to laugh? The self- centered bastard probably didn't even do a little 'lingus. Selfish bastard!

@Diogenes I was speaking more specifically to his actual mental illness, OCD. Not in a derogatory way or in that his ideas were not relevant but only way ahead of his time. This alone could have made people think he was 'crazy' for sure, but I am of a mindset that true genius often comes with a bit of insanity. We see it in many of the great creative minds of our earthly time.

@Diogenes Also,
"The self- centered bastard probably didn't even do a little 'lingus. Selfish bastard!"
I certainly laughed at that!

@Amzungu But I am rude and crude--- also some times honest! LOL. I guess I could have added, "Did super-dude allow the cuck', Joe, to watch?"

Is there any wonder that this 101% insanity produces such off-the-wall nutters

@Diogenes "A question that sometimes drives me hazy: am , or the others crazy?"
I am pretty sure Einstein wasn't the only one that asked himself that question. Problem is, the truly crazy one's would never think to ask it. What an upside down world we seem to live in.
