As James Levine is famous for saying, “I was lucky that I met the right mentors and teachers at the right moment.” To me, one of the greatest mentors of innovative scientific history was Nikola Tesla. That being said, if given the opportunity to spend the next year of my life in a different time period I would like to live during the year 1942 so I could work beside Tesla. This was the year before Tesla died, a time when he had experienced the full scope of his expertise and could impart that wisdom to me. My questions about his popularity would be answered in full. Questions about Tesla’s integrity could lead to the answer to the legendary disputes about what was rightfully his. Legends about genius inventions that could only be imagined

A genius once said “We all make mistakes, and it is better to make them before we begin,” (Tesla Universe). Nikola Tesla, brilliant and honest, is the most unknown liberator of science. He came up with the idea of many useful inventions; direct current, wireless communication and the radio controlled robot.
