I was reading my American History book yesterday. We were on the Industrial Revolution of the late 1800s. I was surprised to see Thomas Edison mentioned and not Tesla.
Edison might have invented the lightbulb, but Nikola Tesla powered it with his invention of alternating current. My history book also mentioned Macroni used the first radio waves. In 1943, the Supreme Court ruled Nikola Tesla had the discovery first. I find it strange the truth isn’t in my “educational” book.
Does this mean that truly the corporations rule the politics and education? I always knew the economy had a big rule in politics, but I didn’t think it would be big enough to justify a huge lie like this.
Here is a link with good information. I found it very truthful with his autobiography and other information sources. Although, it does leave some details of his life out.
