About this listen
Explore the Captivating Life of Nikola Tesla!
Obsessive, brilliant, and tortured, Nikola Tesla was lauded for his invention of the alternating current (AC) and other significant contributions to science. His claim that “harnessing the forces of nature was the only worthwhile scientific endeavor" both impressed and enraged the scientific community. Eventually his peers could no longer dismiss his eccentricities and began to view him as a crackpot - a potentially dangerous one.
Although Tesla’s work was a major factor in the success of the second Industrial Revolution, he died alone, impoverished, and largely shunned by the scientific community that once hailed him a genius. Beset by visions, without a wife or children, Nikola Tesla’s brilliant mind changed the world, even though at the time of his death he passed unnoticed into obscurity.

The indomitable work of a Genius
A short and fascinating tale of one of the brightest minds in the field of electricity generation and propagation of the 20th century. The brilliant work of Tesla in the use of solar energy has been brought to fruition by Elon Musk in the Tesla electric car,truck and planned mass transit vehicle. The trials and tribulations encountered by Tesla born of the envy and greed of his comprtitors and unfavourable press their wealthy backers funded, were in the main overcome by Tesla’s persistence and self evident superior inventions. The indomitable genius of his work has been brought to fruition by the endeavours of Elon Musk as evidenced by the Tesla electric car, truck and planned mass transit vehicle. Tesla’s story, like his work, is focused and enjoyable leaving one with a feeling of triumph for a genius whose life’s work is enduring while motivating other inventors 75 years after his passing. Perhaps Tesla’s spiritual belief and experiences in far reaching communications beyond known wireless frequencies will manifest itself in futuristic scientific work yet to be published.
