Nikola Tesla is perhaps the greatest Scientist and Inventor in modern history. View the comic below to learn more about the chance at having a Nikola Tesla museum. Something that should have existed a long time ago.

I like the idea but let's not exaggerate shit. Science doesn't have idols.

HORSE. SHIT.
People like Carl Sagan are the reason I got into Astronomy, and a handful of professors I looked up to are the reason I stayed at it. Science has idols at every level. Regardless of our preoccupations, we're still human.

Good luck pushing that here. I'm sure you began studying science because it's your civic duty to progress humanity, yeah? 100% practical and logical motivations, no inspiration at all.

I don't see how this would benefit anybody... The whole thing is like "Tesla is this amazing loner scientist isn't he so cool lets jerk over his old stuff".

Pretty pointless.

Edison was a liar and a thief, who stole and blackmailed his way through his tremendous business successes without inventing a serious thing himself.

In other words, he's a true American.

stopped there.

I'm tired of this whole chic geek "fuck yeah science" shit that the internet has spawned. You can tell these are the people supporting this without a second thought. They don't think, they spend 10 dollars then pat themselves on the back for being such a smart science geek.

Oh don't be such a cunt. I'd rather a million dumb high schoolers fake being nerds and vaguely support the sciences than spend their time kicking the shit out of the real nerds and spewing anti-intellectual rhetoric.

If you're so desperate to keep up your persecution complex, just start sucking cock or worshiping the devil or something. Damn.

It's not the Museum of Tesla's Discoveries.
It's a museum about Tesla himself.
His life. His education. His contributions to science.
He's an important figure in scientific history. That's why we want a museum for him.

Let me be clear so you may not raise your brow any further in my direction
You, and the rest of your kinda are a blight on humanity.You do not care about the furthering of humanity,you do not care about scientific discovery,and you do not care how ignorant you truly are.
You are a mockery to our existence and should be treated as such.
There has yet to be a single person in the entirety of recorded history to deserve such an honor, and any such person would forbade the existence of such were it asked of him.
