History has been very unfair to Tesla but has given a lot of credit to Einstein (a theoretical quack who didn’t come up with anything but theory that has yield nothing to humankind).
It is postulated that USA government decided to cunningly divert world scientist’s attention by advertising Einstein theory while at the same time confiscating and hiding Tesla innovations within its military research facilities for its own gain. Now scientists are wasting brain power by chasing Einstein theory.
In all his life, Einstein refused to accept the concept of quantum mechanics. As Bohr and Heisenberg were developing this magnificent science that gave us the transistor, Einstein was skeptical and devoted his life trying to develop a theory of everything. As a result, from 1915, Einstein was a stranger to physics and history has proved him wrong.
Tesla was an inventor while Einstein was not. Even cars were invented and there is nothing mysterious about them. However, Einstein was the doyen of abstract thinking and thats why he is interesting. He attempted to answer questions that bother humanity alot.
This other hawking guy is a socialite and nothing much.
It is likely that USA state funded Tesla under Elon Mursk is psychologically preparing man before it debut some new transportation technology from top secret USA military research facilities.
