Nikola Tesla’s inventions and contributions to science impact us every day of our lives, yet you don’t find him in today’s textbooks next to the names of other scientists/inventors. Why is he omitted from high school text books and not given the credit he diserved? I still hear references to Marconi having been the inventor of the radio, yet his patents were overturned in the 40’s and said to be based on Tesla’s work. So, why does our society still teach that Marconi invented the radio? Why isn’t Tesla a house hold name?
