Do you think what Leonardo Da Vinco invented was completely unimaginable?
No.... But some inventions like the alternative current motor ask for a great creative mind....
Ramanujan mathematics discovery was unimaginable though and are also today unimaginable, like Grothendieck in mathematics.his signle hand creation of geometric algebra on a new level no one has imagined before him..
For sure some discoveries are unimaginable...
But no man can discover anything if the times are not right, like it is proven by history, most discoveries are made a few months or years apart by different people at defferent place on earth.... This is common place...
Than almost all discoveries emerge when their hour come....is the bar to judge Tesla discoveries must be put higher than for all others inventor in history for the sake of your argument?
What did he discover previously unimaginable? ...
I think you like despising "ignorant" people of "this thread"...
We are all ignorant. on a count or another...
He was a great inventory, a good engineers, but deep diving into his actual results, does not indicate a great scientist, especially not ground breaking theoretical work. He shunned this predominantly (sort of like people on this thread, maybe that is where the love comes from?).
And you are comical here, you have dived in ALL his lost research papers after the fire who destructed them all when he was over forty years old? And you dive in his paper never published and saved by the FBI after his death?
And you ask Tesla one of the great inventor in history to create quantum dynamic between his pragmatical experiment or general relativity to prove he is great?
Why not asking to Einstein why he is was unable to create the first power plant in the world , and the plasma ball, and some other practical concrete inventions?
Because he was a theoretical physicist and Tesla a electricity wizard like Steinmetz....
