/sci/ - Science & Math

Happy birthday, Tesla, too bad you're dead. You'd like to see that Edison is more important than you even today, and pigeons became the flying rats.

Nothing but disdain here.
Should have cracked the earth in two when he had the chance.

Tesla will be remembered for his work on yarn theory and cuantum mechanics.

why does /sci/ bag on this guy so much? he wasn't the cats ass of science, but he did good work.

>>5893891
Tesla > Rest of the world.

>>5893891
He wasn't the cat's ass of science but he did good work... unfortunately the internet can't shut the fuck up about him and going on and on about what a visionary he was and how he was a century ahead of his time and how he invented the death ray and the earthquake machine and anti-gravity and free energy but there's a big conspiracy to cover it all up, and how Edison was a tool who stole all his ideas from Tesla and yadda yadda yadda.

WE GET IT INTERNET! You like Tesla! Now how about taking his rotting cock out of your collective mouths long enough to do some fact-checking on the shit you're claiming about him, maybe look up some of the hundreds of other equally amazing scientists and inventors in history.

>>5894861
Is it not true that Edison stole his idea, then?

>>5894865
What idea?

>>5894898
Number 1 on the list.
http://www.cracked.com/article_16072_5-famous-inventors-who-stole-their-big-idea.html

Edison did not really invent the lightbulb.

>>5894908
>Edison did not really invent the lightbulb.
Neither did Tesla

Edison did not invent the first incandescent bulb, this is true - the earliest designs go back almost 60-70 years before Edison filed his patent. Edison DID however develop the first practical light bulb. Edison also invented dozens of other devices - from the phonograph to the projector to the carbon transducer.

>>5894953
Well the main argument is that Edison didn't invent squat,he just stole ideas and patented them
I don't know if that's true and I don't really care

>>5895044
>I don't know if that's true and I don't really care
Then you shouldn't really be trying to discuss it.

>>5895067
I'm not,I just stated what the main argument was,I'm not op or the guy you quoted first

>>5895093
>>5895067
anonymity is so cool

Nobody cares. Quit spamming /sci/ with your hipster circlejerk bullshit, Tesla fans.
Seriously, just take it to reddit. I'm sure they have whole boards dedicated to sucking his cock

You are right.

nice 18 hour bump, go for 24 next time

Is it true that Tesla invented electricity?

>>5898120
yes

>>5898120
>>5898169
I understand that you are trolling but it still angers me

>>5898198
I wasn't trolling. The question was serious.

>>5898120
Of course not: Tesla only invented the electrons. How to use them was developed by Dimitri Mendeleyev during a vacation in South Africa in 1922.

>>5899419
How am I able to understand water?

>>5899889
You need to learn chemistry.

>>5899419
>matter confirmed for energy
it's happening!
Tesla was a boss for seeing this.

Does this mean E=H20?

>>5901906
Stop bumping this fucking thread every 10-15 hours

>>5901908
Do you want me to bump more frequently?

>>5892571

>>5899408
How was he able to invent the electrons?

>>5899419
Guise! IT was recently discovered that matter=energy.
so... was this guy right?

>>5904003
There's no official account about how he did that, but in an interview for "Variety" magazine in 1926, he reminisces about that particular event saying that he did it "with only a pair of scissors and a nail polisher".

>>5904687
>Guise! IT was recently discovered that matter=energy.

[citation needed]

>>5904766
Maybe he used the scissors to cut an electron out of a single atom.

>>5906307
>scissors
>string theory

It all makes sense now.

>>5907978
Tesla did not see that. He thought the strings were actually pieces of yarn. Physics would have progressed much further if he did not make this mistake.

Can we please get a mod to ban this faggot? Please?

>implying he didn't see global warming comming a mile off

>implying he didn't discover a way to pull energy from thin air

Why dint we save him /sci/ :(

>>5909801
He predicted global warning? I didn't know that. I know how he predicted string theory though.

>>5910338
He also predicted neutrinos and the Higgs boson.

Tesla is underappreciated for his work by the scientific community. More people should know about him.

>>5892571
Tesla died a virgin.

Like most of us will.

>>5912906
What can we do to make him more popular?

>>5914247
We must first convince the American government to declassify his free energy technology.

>>5912917
i hired a hooker. guess we just lost the genetic lottery

>>5914890
His free electricity is impossible to make it viable today because we use a lot of radio frequencies for different purposes and we won't have a frequency to transmit electricity to the airwaves.

>>5912917
>most of us
This isn't /r9k/
And there is no proof that he died a virgin, that would be absurdly hard to prove.

>>5915110
What if we use quantum entanglement instead?

All of you who are pissing about how Tesla wasn't all that great, you should go screw off because we are using many of his inventions today all around us but everyone takes them for granted. ESPECIALLY 4chan!
He made these things we still use today:
Electric motor
Remote control (Say thanks all you lazy people)
Almost all patents for radio
AND AC CURRENT!
He also worked with
Radiation
Radar
and discovering Electrons

So before you morons post, especially in the science section, GET EDUCATED.

I know all of Tesla's secrets.

Ask me anything.

>>5916379
Not that he wasn't great, it's that we just hate his fan club.

Sucking tesla dick threads does not belong in science and math board.

>back to leddit

I'm getting a tattoo of Tesla on my ass.

>>5916393

Bipolar
North-South
Positive-Negative
Left-Right
Male-Female
Black-White
Ying-Yang
Good-Evil

That's all there is to it, pretty much.

>>5916399
Nice. Please post pictures on /sci/ when you're done.

>>5892571
Good night sweet crackpot, you had no hope and now you're idealised be the lowest order of humans. x

capcha: 834356 cannot

>>5917795
Do embarrass yourself and show us this alleged 'crackpottery'. Tesla was a thankless genius who understood a lot of physics.

>>5916406
>all that dualism

>>5919627
fuck you for bumping a dying thread

>>5919630
I just made a post. I don't look at the the post times before I post.

Although I should have done a polite sage being that I didn't add anything to the thread.

>>5919635
>I didn't add anything to the thread.

You added an insightful comment.

>>5919627
>dualism
What does that mean?

>>5921212
A reduced form of trialism.

>>5922227
I do not know what that is either.

>>5923146
It will become more clear once you learned how to count to three.

>>5924121
Where can I learn this? I was never good at math.

I miss him. ;_;
He was the best scientist of all times.

>>5925479
Major in mathematics. If you settle into a decent university, you might even learn about it in as early as your second or third year.

Happy birthday, Tesla.

>>5927386
But I want to major in biology, not in math.

>>5929121
He is very old.

>>5932165
How old is he?

>>5933612
158

He was born in 1856. Do the math: 2013 - 1856 = 157
+1 because the first year he is zero years old.

When did he died?

>>5935853
a long time ago

>>5937440
How long?

>>5939304
Between the time when the oceans drank Atlantis and the rise of the sons of Aryas, in an age undreamed of.

>>5939314
That must of been very long ago.

What was Tesla's view on quantum mechanics?

>>5942462
He predicted string theory.

>>5944356
and neutrinos

>>5892571
tfw sharing teslas birthday

>>5946427
And the Tea Party movement.

>>5946459
and 9/11

>>5946476
And Honey Boo-boo.

>>5946533
What's that? I never heard of it before.

If Tesla lived today he would be on the same rank as geniuses like Chris Langan or Neil Tyson.

>>5947750
Behold your own humanity:

>>5949159 lmao
Let's be fair, he was pretty smart.

>>5949302
The guy hold patents, why wouldn't he?

>>5949252
>i wish i had an extra finger then i could grab more cheese balls

i know that feel honey boo boo, god knows i do

Genius, plain and simple.

However if we all used the 'free energy' i think we would deplete the atmosphere, thoughts?

>>5949386
The atmosphere is infinite.
