1. Nothing with Firefox is accidental. 2. Copy and paste with Firefox is doable. www.google.com

How many physicians are?

Einstein, Newton, Bohr, Schrodinger, Hawking, Oppenheimer, Kaku, etc.

Then again, with the exception of Oppenheimer, I doubt any of these people actually designed an earthquake machine and said, with a few well-placed and well timed explosions, he could destroy the planet. The nuts in a bunch are usually ignored.

Among his discoveries are the fluorescent light , laser beam, wireless communications, wireless transmission of electrical energy, remote control, robotics, Tesla's turbines and vertical take off aircraft. Overall he has 700 patents. Oh and AC isn't exactly unimportant in itself, without it national electrical grids would be impossible, big p[ower stations simply wouldn't exist all power generation would be small scale and localised.

Einstein and Newton are known. How well known are the rest of them? I doubt so many here know who Oppenheimer and Kaku is. Hawking might ring a bell if you say what he is famous for.

Nikola gave the Soviets the most devastating weapon ever.

I mean, you have to be a pure genius to turn electricity into an actual frying weapon.

You know, Thomas Edison ripped off Tesla. For that, I will never forgive the American education system for teaching us wrong and saying Edison did a bunch of stuff Tesla did first.
