    Tesla was also a polyglot (he was fluent in over half a dozen languages) and had a photographic memory. We owe our entire way of life to him. Every time you use electricity, listen to the radio or just start your car (he invented the ignition system), it's a testament to his genius.

    if you wish to find this info it's out there. I'll maybe look at adding it to this page, but I consider timelines to be quite boring. As for who invented the radio first, Tesla demonstrated a number of uses of transmitting information by radiowaves well before marconi 'invented' the 'wireless'.

    WHAT DOES IT MEAN! I NEED TO DO A TIME LINE AND FIND OUT IF HE INVENTED THE RADIO AND IF HE DID, WHAT YEAR WAS IT?!!

    not sure where you got the info about him chopping his bits off! I never heard of this before!!!

    This man even choped off his weiner so that he would not be distracted from his work. I wish that kind of dedication was active in the lives of the people now. Surely there are some out there with the drive and motovation to bring us into the next century. Is it you?

    Nikola Tesla invented the fluorescent tubes a hundred years ago, but his invention has only recently become popular because of energy saving. Many do not know that he invented the fluorescent tubes.
