Not liking his personality or his methods does not take away from his great contribution to modern society as a scientist.

Of course he didn't invent the DC. But his inventions were based on it, and he developed a power distribution system for it. He is seen as the father of industrial scale labs. He was a great inventor and he contributed a lot to the modern society.

If you think Tesla isn't as famous as Edison you're fucking delusional. Both are respected and acknowledged inventors and scientists, but one is still portrayed and discussed frequently in popular media, and it isn't Edison. If anything, it's the other way around.

...and of course the top comments are going to be conspiracy bullshit. -_-

I find it ironic that you like to remind people that history is written by winners, while deminishing Thomas Edison, the loser in the "war of currents" as less of a scientist. Edison and Tesla were both great scientists and contributed greatly to modern society.

Shut up and buy a solar panel.

Although made several groudbreaking inventions like the phonograph and the stock ticker, he primarily refinined existing inventions. He didn't invent the lighbulb. He invented the first commercially sustainable lightbulb: long life, low power consumption, and cheap to manufacture. Yes, he hired people to hurry up the process, and that's why he's now seen as the father of the modern industrial research lab. He contributed greatly to modern society.

They were both good scientists. Edison spent his time developing the DC while tesla developed the AC. As it turned out AC is superior in many aspects and eventually became the standard.
