Hojo Motor Nikola tesla contributed to society probably more than any 1 in history influeceing Albert Eienstien Isaac Newton and Tomas Edison
his creations are light neon radio x rays basic radar and laser tech
Robotics remote control wireless communication celluar tech and even the stars wars war fare tech and haarp
Chosen Answer:
Quite possible… I believe so.
Nicola Tesla’s greatest fault is that for all of his brilliance he underestimated the human nature of greed. The reason he is suppressed from history is that he made many powerful enemies. With the global warming hyped search for alternative energy people don’t realize that Tesla had discovered free energy over a hundred years ago. Competing with Edison, his employer, turned arch nemesis ,because of his competing push for AC electricity over DC, created his first powerful enemy. Then his proposals for free energy threatened the monopolies of J.P.Morgan, an initial sponsor who later turned an enemy when he realized Tesla proposed his free energy as a gift to humanity, when his interest was in profiting from it, the kindoff profit Tesla’s invention of AC had brought to Westinghouse. He was a very dangerous enemy, and sought to crush him forthwith.
His habit of hyping his latest invention, and their sometime failures, led to skepticism of his ideas, which enabled his enemies to dismiss him publicly and maintain their control over literal power at humanities expense. If he had of been embraced, we as a society would be 50 years more advanced, oil free, potentially utopian, instead of the corporate imprisonment of the oil barons, war mongers and carbon dioxide trade scammers we suffer with today.
In the end was a reclusive outcast, the majority of his ideas and inventions lost for all time, rejecting society as it had failed to embrace his genius. One of the greatest scientific losses of all time.

Tesla is held in high regard by those familiar with ‘giants’ of science and their contributions.
Agreed. He was brilliant. He was also weird.I think that is one reason and the other is that we still don’t have all of his papers.I am suspicious that some of his work is being studied and developed at area 51.There was one theory that a huge Tesla coil built in New Jersey was responsible for the Tunguska blast.You really don’t want that kind of power in the wrong hands.
he was sickly, and would lose control of his inventions , knowing this, the government and the investors, would wait for Tesla to be sick and in need of money, before negotiating with him
No, he is not the greatest scientific mind ever. He’s up there with the greats without a doubt, but you’re right that he kind of gets disrespected in the sense that he is not well known among the general populace. As someone else said though, he does get the high respect that he deserves among those in the know (the scientific community)- he even has a scientific unit named after him, the Tesla, which is a unit for measuring magnetism. That alone puts him in a very small group of people who have contributed so much to a certain field that they have a unit named after them.
So he is far from left out of history, but again, if you talked to someone on the street, they probably would not know who Tesla is although he is getting more and more respect lately (he was a prominent side character in the movie The Prestige for example). One of the reasons for this may be that he was specialized in his field and not, like a Newton or Einstein, someone who made vast contributions to several different fields of science. Another reason might be that he was kind of a recluse and very eccentric- partly because of this perhaps, his ideas were not well accepted at his time. Another reason is that Thomas Edison, a man whom he competed with, ran a smear campaign against him (Tesla was right about what he was arguing with Edison with, and the much more brilliant of the two most people would probably say, but Edison was a much better businessman).
BTW he did not influence Isaac Newton- Isaac Newton, who probably was the greatest scientific mind ever, was born almost two centuries BEFORE Tesla. And you’re also confused as far as his inventions and fields of study- he certainly did not create light, was not heavily involved in x-rays or neon anything, or robotics. Wireless transmission, electricity, and magnetism were his strong points.
Hope this helps
OK, I’m a huge fan of Nichola, but comparing him to Isaac Newton? Albert Einstein? Tesla was brilliant, but did he invent calculus? Newton did! Did he calculate the energy that binds atoms together? Einstein did!
Nicki was a great scientist and engineer, but he didn’t always have his head in the game. Like Einstein, he had people to make sure he bathed on occasion (he’d forget) and change his smelly clothes sometimes. he was a typical absentminded professor.
BTW, the fact that you posed this question and have had multiple responses proves that History has NOT forgotten Tesla.
