Edison and Einstein were great, but check this out: "The man who invented the XXI century", so to speak. "Nikola Tesla (Serbian Cyrillic: Никола Тесла; 10 July 1856 [MY NOTE: actually 9 July 1856]– 7 January 1943) was a Serbian-American [MY NOTE: born in a VLAH/ROMANIAN-ethnic family from Smiljan] inventor, mechanical engineer, and electrical engineer." "He pioneered modern electrical engineering and many of his discoveries were of groundbreaking importance. In the United States during this time, Tesla's fame rivaled that of any other inventor or scientist in history or popular culture.[4] Tesla demonstrated wireless energy transfer to power electronic devices as early as 1893[citation needed], and aspired to intercontinental wireless transmission of industrial power in his unfinished Wardenclyffe Tower project." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikola_tesla. Also, I show you my Tesla postcard from my friend Masha, from Serbia

"Publicity photo of Nikola Tesla sitting in his laboratory in Colorado Springs in December 1899. Photo was taken by Dickenson V. Alley, photographer at the Century Magazines. The laboratory was built in 1899. Tesla sent a copy of this photograph to Sir William Crookes in England in 1901.
This image is a Multiple exposure.
The photo is cited as a double exposure by Carl Willis and Marc Seifer.
Tesla's Colorado Springs notes identify the photo as a double exposure.
To give an idea of the magnitude of the discharge the experimenter is sitting slightly behind the "extra coil". I did not like this idea but some people find such photographs interesting. Of course, the discharge was not playing when the experimenter was photographed, as might be imagined!"

"O indreptare istorica: NIKOLA TESLA a fost roman!

O indreptare istorica: NIKOLA TESLA a fost roman!
Nikola Tesla la anii maturitatii
* Il considera de-al lor si sarbii, si croatii, si americanii, si romanii. Caci cine nu s-ar mandri cu un geniu despre care se spune ca a fost cel mai mare inventator al veacului 20? S-a nascut acum 155 de ani, intr-un sat, azi, croat, dar locuit secole de-a randul de vlahi. Ascunsa indaratul unui cimitir vlahesc, la umbra unei superbe biserici ortodoxe, casa copilariei lui Tesla isi astepta demult adevarata poveste. V-o spunem noi. Am fost pe urmele ei si am aflat adevarul. Marele Tesla a fost roman * "

Wireless transmission of power and energy demonstration during his high frequency and potential lecture of 1891
"Electromechanical devices and principles developed by Nikola Tesla:

"Tesla was a life-long bachelor. Like many of his era, he became a proponent of an imposed selective breeding version of eugenics. In a 1937 interview, he stated:
... man's new sense of pity began to interfere with the ruthless workings of nature. The only method compatible with our notions of civilization and the race is to prevent the breeding of the unfit by sterilization and the deliberate guidance of the mating instinct .... The trend of opinion among eugenists is that we must make marriage more difficult. Certainly no one who is not a desirable parent should be permitted to produce progeny. A century from now it will no more occur to a normal person to mate with a person eugenically unfit than to marry a habitual criminal.[105]
In 1926, Tesla commented on the ills of the social subservience of women and the struggle of women toward gender equality, indicated that humanity's future would be run by "Queen Bees". He believed that women would become the dominant sex in the future."

"Vlach (play /ˈvlɑːk/ or /ˈvlæk/) is a blanket term covering several modern Latin peoples descending from the Latinised population in Central,Eastern and Southeastern Europe. English variations on the name include: Walla, Wlachs, Wallachs, Vlahs, Olahs or Ulahs. Groups that have historically been called Vlachs include: modern-day Romanians or Daco-RomaniansAromanians or Macedo-RomaniansMorlachs,Megleno-Romanians and Istro-Romanians. Since the creation of the Romanian state, the term in English has mostly been used for those living outside Romania."

"Dorincard: Blogger Dorin C is a stamp and postcard fanatic, and luckily he's more than pleased to write prolifically and charmingly about his obsession. He has a particular bent for stamps with wild mammals on them, but his blog demonstrates an affinity for stamps of all forms and backgrounds, as long as they offer a special narrative that's worth sharing with his readers.

    Postcards and stamps, mainly featuring mammals and birds but Dorincard also has other creations
    and interests he likes to share.
    His enthusiasm for Maximum cards (a postcard and a similar themed stamps sent through the
    postal system) shines through.
    He shows how he gets the right card, stamp and postmark together.
    Visiting his site you will also learn things about the natural world told with a dry sense of humour,
    possibly with a play on words, and a unique style of headings.
    Topical and informative both for the enthusiast and casual visitor.
