⚡️ Tesla discovered rotating magnetic fields, enabling AC power transmission worldwide. He wirelessly lit bulbs from miles away, patented radio before Marconi, and envisioned global wireless communication decades before WiFi. His Colorado Springs experiments generated artificial lightning bolts 135 feet long—the longest ever created. Tesla held 300 patents and could visualize entire machines in his mind, running mental tests for weeks before building physical prototypes.⁠ ⁠ His photographic memory allowed him to speak eight languages fluently and recite entire books. He suffered from severe OCD, requiring 18 napkins at meals and walking around buildings three times before entering. Despite his brilliance, he died penniless in 1943, feeding pigeons in New York parks. ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #nikolatesla #scientist #physicist #science #physics #sciencequotes
