On this episode we revisit one of the most revered and wildly enigmatic minds in human history; a pioneering engineer, prolific inventor, bonafide genius and all-round kooky eccentric, whose astonishing ideas, theories and inventions were often so far ahead of their time, they couldn't be realised for another century. Nikola Tesla helped build the modern electronic world, and pretty awesomely became known as the legendary 'Master of Lightning' and yet still, somehow managed to succumb to the typical fate of such an extraordinary personality; to die penniless and alone... despite spending years living in a luxury New York hotel suite and carrying on what can only be described as, a serious long-term relationship with a pigeon. Tale as old as time itself!
From Tesla's infamous feud with the nefarious Thomas Edison and the AC/DC War of the Currents to harnessing the mysterious and awesome power of the earth itself to generate global free wireless electricity with his Wardenclyffe Tower; top secret and highly advanced government work at Colorado Springs, getting into a billionaires tiff with J.P. Morgan; missing government files including an Earthquake Machine, a Death Ray and even a device that bends the fabric of space and creates time travelling wormholes, as we explored in our episode on The Philadelphia Experiment. We separate the documented history from the astounding legend and ask whether Nikola Tesla was simply a misunderstood genius... or something greater still; a man whose talent, vision and imagination reached so far into the future that the rest of the world has spent the last hundred years trying to catch up.
