THE GREATEST GENIUSES

Simo Jelača, Ph.D.

Dear readers, my intention here is to show the greatest achievements of some civilizational greatest geniuses and to draw a conclusion based on the realization of their works, who was the greatest among them and according to what merits. It is not my intention to diminish anyone's merits in order to emphasize the greater importance of the other, but to look at their individual merits for human civilization as realistically as possible. I will compare here Leonardo da Vinci, Albert Einstein and Nikola Tesla, the three greatest, who have been pointed out in many places as the greatest. I used data written in numerous books and magazines, individual papers and information from the Internet. I intentionally do not want to repeat the data published in the works of other authors, the most important of which will be mentioned below.

Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) was born in Anjino, near Vinca, close to Florence. He is known as a Renaissance architect, inventor, engineer, sculptor and painter. He is described as the ideal of Renaissance man and as a universal genius. His most famous paintings are "The Last Supper" (painted in 1498) and "Mona Lisa" (painted 1503-1506), also known as "Gioconda". For his inventions, it is stated that their principles are still used today in modern technologies, since they could not be realized in his time. In addition to the mentioned areas in which he dealt, it is mentioned that he made significant contributions in the development of human anatomy, astronomy and civil engineering.

Leonard's paintings are considered top works. He was fascinated by the mystery of human faces and felt the possibility of reading "soul movements" from his face. His Mona Lisa has a very enigmatic facial expression. Leonardo is an illegitimate child, the father of the lawyer Pietro de Vinci and the mother of Catherine, a village girl, who is presumed to have been his servant. He went to school in Vinci, and from the age of 14 he worked in Florence. He was a vegetarian. In 1476, he was accused of being a homosexual. He lived in Rome from 1513 to 1516, where Michelangelo also worked at that time. Literature data indicate that he made about 70 paintings, of which only 15 are known, and the most significant are the two mentioned above. The painting of the Last Supper is kept in the church "Santa Maria delle Gracie" in Milan, and the Mona Lisa in the "Louvre" in Paris. In addition to the Mona Lisa in the Louvre, there are also Leonardo's paintings "Saint John the Baptist" (from 1514) and "Bacchus" (from 1515). Leonardo's paintings are also known: "Madonna with an Apple" (1469) in the National Gallery in Washington, "Baptism of Christ" (1475-1478) in Florence, "Madonna with Flowers" (1478-1480) in "Hermitage" in St. Petersburg, "Baptism of the Three Kings" (1481) in Florence, "Musician" (1490) in Milan, and "Portrait of a Lady" (1495-1498) in Paris. In the domain of painting, Leonardo left a very strong influence on the generations behind him, above all on Rafael.

From 1483 to 1499 Leonardo worked in Milan as a civil engineer. There he also began his studies in anatomy, botany, mathematics, physics and mechanics. From 1499 to 1506 he worked in Paris in the service of the French king. He also lived in Parz from 1516 until his death in 1519.

Leonardo da Vinci is considered the most famous intellectual of the Renaissance period. He left behind numerous sketches, including sketches of weapons, machines, tanks, diving equipment, parachutes and robots. As a sculptor, he worked as a horseman "Gran Cavallo" from bronze, but it remained unfinished due to the war in France. As an architect, he worked on the plans of the cathedrals and on the basis of them he examined various tools, the bearing capacity of pillars, underlays, vaults and arches. Its circular steps are interesting. In 1501, he made a drawing of a suspension bridge for Constantinople, but according to that drawing, it was not until 2001 that the first bridge in Norway was built.

In the domain of science, Leonardo left about 6,000 pages of sketches and remarks from the domain of science and art. He tried to compile a complete encyclopedia of everything that exists, but many scientists at the time ignored him. He suggested that people who write with their left hand should write from right to left and read those texts with the help of a mirror. He did not publish his works anywhere, so most of them remained sealed until 2005. He was fascinated by flying, so he sketched several types of aircraft, including a helicopter that never took off. He mostly imitated the wings of a bird and the wings of a bat. In all his drawings for propulsion, he assumed human strength for propulsion, which did not prove applicable. He also worked on determining the direction of the winds and maintaining horizontal flying. He constructed a tank from military equipment, but with human or horse traction. He also constructed a cannon, which remained only as an idea for the future. Other inventions include a submarine, a car, and a toothed device as the basis for a computer. He also planned the possibility of using solar energy, parabolic mirrors, and a bell-shaped spacesuit. Most of Leonardo's ideas and drawings, however, were never realized.

 Here are some interesting facts about Leonard that are less known:

-He was the first to explain why the sky was blue.

-He was able to write with his left hand and sketch with his right at the same time.

-He was the first to give the idea for contact lenses in 1508.

-It was determined by software from the picture of Mona Lisa that she is 83% happy, 9% horrified, 6% scared and 2% angry.

-Leonard's last words were: "I have offended God and humanity. My work did not reach the quality it should have".

-There is no evidence that any of Leonardo's inventions were made during his lifetime, nor was any of his manuscripts published.

-His most famous painting, the Mona Lisa, became world famous only after it was stolen from the Louvre in 1911.

-He sketched a bicycle 300 years before it was first made.

The English Wikipedia describes Leonard as the greatest painter of all time. Historians mention him as a universal genius. Today, many qualify him as the most diverse talented individual who has ever lived. Personally, I am not a painter or a painting critic, to judge the painting of Leonardo da Vinci, but I have the impression that even after Davinci, the world had and still has numerous and ingenious painters. However, the impression cannot be left out that his ideas remained unattainable. And, if that is so, and it is so, then it is a measure of Leonardo's contribution to human civilization. He is probably bigger today than he was during his life.

Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein (1879-1955) is considered in the scientific world to be the greatest mind of theoretical physics in history. Albert Einstein was born in Ulm, Württemberg, Germany. In Zurich, he met Mileva Marić at the Polytechnic Institute, as a student of physics and mathematics. Albert did not pass the entrance exam on the first try. An anonymous author (1) states that he failed the French on the first test. He claims that Einstein's essay in French was even very good, but not good enough to satisfy a very picky professor. He was only 16 at the time, and the conditions for enrollment required 18. However, he passed the second attempt and enrolled at the Polytechnic at the age of 17.

Albert Einstein formulated the Special and General Theories of Relativity, with which he revolutionized modern physics. He contributed to the progress of quantum theory and statistical mechanics. He is best known in the world for the theory of relativity, and was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921 for his explanation of the photoelectric effect (published in Annalen der Physik in 1905), does not mention the name of Mileva Marić, except that she was his first wife. And it is known that Mileva was his equal collaborator, and as an excellent mathematician she solved all his problems. Albert is also credited with the formula E = m c², for which, however , there are traces that it was first published by Olinto De Preto, a year and a half before Einstein.

When Einstein published his works in 1905 in "Annalen der Physik", he mentioned the name of the Italian Michel Besso, who brought him into contact with a certain industrialist Olinto De Pretto. That Olinto De Preto published his work in Italy in 1903, in which he gave the final form of the equation E = m c². Dr. Umberto Bartocci, professor of mathematics at the University of Perugia in his book “Albert Einstein e Olinto De Pretto”. “La vera storia della formula più famosa del mondo Albert Einstein and Olinto De Preto: a true story about the most important formula in the world, quoted the work of Olinto De Preto as a whole (2).

At the first lectures in mathematics with Professor Hermann Minkowski, Mileva and Albert became interested in four-dimensional "space-time" geometry, which would later become the basis for defining the theory of relativity. Shortly afterwards, Mileva spent the winter semester of 1897/98 at the University of Heidelberg in Germany, where she studied the photoelectric effect with Professor  receiver of the Nobel Prize in Physics, Pfillipe Lenard. Here she was particularly fascinated by the relationship between the velocities of atoms and the distances at which their collisions occur, which will be shown later in Einstein's work on Brown's motion.

From 1909, Albert Einstein was a professor of theoretical physics in Zurich, and in 1911/12 in Prague (4). At that time, he showed insufficient knowledge on several occasions from mathematics, so he came home almost every weekend to have Mileva solve certain tasks (3; 4). He was elected a member of the Prussian Academy of Sciences in 1913, and in 1914 he became a German citizen again, since when he has been appointed director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute of Physics in Berlin. He remained there until he immigrated to the United States on December 9, 1933. He died April 18, 1955 in Princeton.

Some authors in the West describe Mileva with a tendency to discredit her (5: 1), in an effort to make readers accept the fact that Mileva consciously left all public contacts to Albert. Although Mileva signed all her works on an equal footing with Albert, her name was eliminated and only his name was published on them. Albert Einstein was proclaimed the greatest scientist of the twentieth century, while Mileva, that true creator, a woman of the brightest mind, but also of national Serbian kindness and naivety in the world, remained almost anonymous. Ellen Goodman quotes Dr. Stachel, who says: "We had the myth of Einstein as a sacred figure, and now more and more as a demon. We had the myth of his wife as no one else, and now we are offered the myth of a martyr woman” (6).

When the American physicist Dr. Evan Harris Walker, at the annual meeting of the American Society for the Advancement of Science in New Orleans in 1990, asked who the founder of the theory of relativity was, and it also stirred up scientific spirits. German linguist Troemel Ploetz assumes that Albert could have been the idea for the theory of relativity, but he claims that it was certainly mathematically defined by Mileva Marić. He further cites Mileva's superiority in mathematics, according to a quote by Elena Goodman (6). Ellen states that "In his life, Albert was not Einstein" (6).

When Miileva was once asked why she gave the theory of relativity to her husband, Mileva replied, "The two of us are one rock (ein-stein, in German)." (3).

Albert Einstein was said to have had learning difficulties in his youth and to have been rebellious. This rebellion made him able to re-examine his previous knowledge, which later brought him into the field of studying space and time. In his early youth, he was credited with being a weak mathematician, and at the age of 15 he became one of the better mathematicians and even engaged in the study of new mathematical theorems. How much truth there is in all this was better known to those who first published it. Maybe it was done in a planned way, so that they could declare him the greatest scientist of the 20th century.

The allegations also indicate that Einstein dealt more with thought assumptions than laboratory experiments. According to what is known from his biography, he did not even have the conditions for laboratory experiments. When he was 16, he imagined himself riding in a ray of light, which later led him to the discovery of the Special Theory of Relativity. And he came to the General Theory of Relativity by thinking about a man who is in an elevator that falls freely. He determined that a man would float freely in that situation. The same would happen to a man in a cabin flying in space and moving fast. It would seem to man that he was attracted by the earth's gravity, so Einstein drew a conclusion about the General Theory of Relativity from the action of gravity and accelerated motion. He explained it like this: ''If a slightly heavier ball is thrown on a circus trampoline, the space under the ball will twist. If several billiard balls are then dropped on the edges of the trampoline, they will spiral towards the ball in the center”. In that way, he came up with the idea of ​​the General Theory of Relativity, according to which mass curves space and that the movement of one body around another acts on that curvature of space. This is how he explained the curvature of light on the way through the universe, passing by massive celestial bodies.

While working at the patent office, he wrote four papers that later advanced physics. In the first paper, he concluded that light can be considered a particle and a wave. In another, he proved the existence of atoms and molecules. In the third paper, he explained the Special Theory of Relativity, by which he pointed out that space and time cannot be absolute. In the fourth paper, he explained the equality between mass and energy with the famous formula E = m c². The theory of light curvature was confirmed in 1919.

In those years, Albert had information that he would receive the Nobel Prize for one of his works, so he promised Mileva the entire amount of money for the divorce. In our country, it is said: "he bought it to keep her quiet". As a Jew, Albert was firmly attached to his people, so towards the end of his life he was even offered the position of President of Israel, which he refused. During the Second World War, he wrote a letter to the President of the USA, Roosevelt, in which he asked for the launch of the program for the construction of the atomic bomb, in which, by the way, he did not participate. He lived in the United States from 1933 to 1955, and worked at Princeton University. He was a pacifist and after the war he sought control over the spread of nuclear weapons. He proved to be a fighter for the rights and freedoms of thought and speech and was carried away by the theory of the federalization of the world, expecting that this would stop the competition of the world in armaments. Before his death, on the occasion of Israel's Independence Day, he wrote a speech, which began with these words: "I am addressing you, not as a US citizen, nor as a Jew, but as a human being".

Einstein's revolutionary ideas in science gave him the epithet of a genius, and his human rights movement made him a pacifist. At the age of 15, he left Germany in order not to serve in the army, renouncing German citizenship. Even before he married Mileva Marić, they had a daughter Lizerl, about whom there are no written traces, which has remained a mystery forever, and some authors claim that her father never saw her, while others state that she lived and died in 1903. years in Serbia. The FBI spied on Einstein while working at Princeton University, thinking he was working for the Russians. After his death, pathologist Dr. Thomas Harvey stole his brain, for which he had no right nor expertise. He only had a warrant to determine the cause of death. Dr. Harvey saved Einstein's brain for extensive scientific research on "genius". But even after 30 years, no results on "genius" have ever been published (22). Maybe there was nothing? The brain was then transported in 1996 to a hospital in Hamilton, Canada, by Dr. Sandra Wittelson, but since then there has been nothing but speculation (22). Let the readers decide for themselves what it is about.

The author wrote earlier (7) about the truth from the life of Mileva and Albert Einstein, whose articles can be found on the Internet. The biography of Mileva Marić, Center for Women's Studies, states that Mileva wrote to Albert near the end of her life that he had stolen her happiness, scientific papers and financial security from her life (8). More about the life of Mileva and Albert in the book by Radmila Milentijević; "Mileva Marić-Einstein - Life with Albert Einstein", Prosveta Belgrade in 2012 (9) and the book "New Biography of Mileva Marić Einstein", Matica srpska, 2010.

Nikola Tesla

Nikola Tesla (1856-1943), the greatest of all greats, gave humanity more than all the inventors of the twentieth century combined. About Tesla, Niels H.D. Bohr said: "Tesla's ingenious invention of the polyphase system and his research into miraculous high-frequency electrical phenomena were the foundation on which completely new conditions for industry and radio communications developed and far influenced our whole civilization ''.

It is unnecessary to repeat the data from Tesla's biography, since it is explained in great detail and expertly in the works of Aleksandar Marinčić (10) and Milovan Matić (11), as well as the author's works (12, 13). For Tesla, Diane Tassman said that he was an alien among the cruel world that surrounded him, and he remained a gentleman, full of dignity and sincere justice. Perhaps it would be more important to point out here that we Serbs would be obliged to accept Tesla's birthday as our state or church holiday (July 10). Diana Tesman said that “Tesla was brought as a newborn baby from the universe to the Tesla house exactly at midnight between July 2 and 10, 1856”. Hence she declares him an alien.

Tesla was characterized by the highest human virtues, he did not like compromises, he hated greed and the lies of "big business" from the bottom of his soul. He possessed integrity, pride and a stubborn sense of fair play. When big companies asked Tesla for servility, he simply refused. He was not interested in goods that could be bought for money. He belongs to a time in which people will want to do good to others as they would like others to do to them, a time of lofty ideals. He inspired us with his looks, deeds and character. He possessed the quality of immortality and deserved to remain immortal.

Leaving the earthly world, he left him the message "I am happy here, I am at home". Maybe Tesla's soul went back to Venus, from where they brought him to Smiljan by spaceship, to Venus, which Miluin Milanković said would become the flower garden of a new human existence in the distant future. In a message to the world, Tesla goes on to say: "I came to your world like all of you to make it better for life”. I spent my time trying to shed light on human ideas. And you, if you are able, at least for a short time, leave your problems and fly to the heights, at least above the trees, you will see the earth and the world from a different perspective. That higher perspective will draw you to make a difference. Do not lose your wholeness, stick to your pride and never lose faith in the "fair play", your strength is in you. Don't trust big corporations, they try to manage your lives. Their greed, cruelty and gross selfishness, in relation to people and nature will lead them to their downfall. Our days are coming, the day will dawn when the world will have enough clean energy in which we will not be aliens to each other. It will be the path of justice and dignity - “TESLA'S PATH ".

With pride, Tesla emphasized his Serbian origin and permanently deserved Serbian gratitude for the gifts he left to this earthly civilization. And wherever his soul is, and it is certainly in the heavenly spaces, the Serbian nation will wish them peace and tranquility on their Christmas (January 7). With his existence, Tesla helped us Serbs, as a small nation, to preserve our name on the planet Earth, which has been traveling in space for millennia - Tesla's path (13).

He immigrated to the United States in 1884 and already then spoke English, French, Czech, German, Italian, Hungarian and Serbian. He got his first job with Thomas Edison, a specialist in direct currents (DC). He soon realized that he could make a given plant much more efficient if he converted it to alternating current (AC). Edison promised him $ 50,000 for that, and when Tesla did the same and asked for payment, Edison replied that it was just an "American joke". Having learned such a rough life lesson, Tesla realized that he had to build his own experimental laboratory. In it, he made and tested his first alternating current (AC) motor, according to a vision he had acquired as a student in Budapest. As early as 1887, he applied for several patents in the field of polyphase AC motors and power transmission, including generators, transformers, remote transmission and lighting.

Soon, the famous industrialist George Westinghouse from Pittsburgh came to Tesla ready to offer him a million dollars for all AC patents, but he also received the same for only $ 60,000 and 150 shares in his corporation. On that occasion, Westinghouse signed a contract that will pay Tesla $ 2.50 for each horsepower (HP) of the engine that the company sells. According to the same, Tesla was soon to become the richest man in the world. Years later, he would show Tesla's extraordinary loyalty to Westinghouse, when his company ran into financial difficulties. Tesla simply tore up the given contract.

With Westinghouse, Tesla experienced its great success. They illuminated the World's Fair in Chicago in 1893. On that occasion, Tesla demonstrated neon lighting for the first time, making the names of respected scientists Faraday, Maxwell, Henry and the Serbian poet Jovan Jovanović-Zmaj out of light tubes. He also showed "Columbus' egg" which rotated on the principle of rotating magnetic fields. On the stage, in front of numerous visitors, he passed a current of two million volts through his body, creating a halo around himself, which caused astonishment, respect and fear. His desire was to produce a current of high frequency, of the order of five hundred trillion hertz, and of light intensity equal to that of the sun. He managed to light a neon lamp, holding it in one hand, with current passed through his body, of extremely high frequency, proving the possibility of wireless energy transfer.

Tesla filed his patent claims numbers 645,576 and 649,621 for Radio on September 2, 1897, and received their recognition in 1900. He gave a public lecture on that in the club of engineers, which was also attended by Marconi. Today, it is known that the Italian scientist M.G. Marconi is considered the creator of radio, for which he even received the Nobel Prize in 1911. It is obvious that Marconi stole Tesla's idea. Tesla appealed the same in 1915 and the US Supreme Court ruled no. 6369 according to Marconi's patent no. 763,772 of July 28, 1904, annulled in favor of Tesla's patents of May 15, 1900. Unfortunately, the court's decision was made late, in June 1943, five months after Tesla's death.

In the early 1890s, Tesla was one of the most famous and respected people in the world. Its polyphase AC system and long-distance energy transmission were accepted in the Niagara Falls power plant project. Westinghouse and Tesla, as well as one consulting engineer, installed a 5,000 HP dynamo machine, the largest ever built, and a 22-mile electric portable three-phase system to Buffalo. Tesla already then told the richest financiers of America that he would transfer electricity commercially profitably to New York (720 km) and Chicago (800 km). On November 16, 1896, Buffalo was lit, and the event was greeted with a barrage of 21 cannon guns. Over the next five years, the number of generators in Niagara increased to 10, according to Tesla's project, and the electricity reached New York and Chicago. Broadway shone, the trains were powered by alternating current. Tesla's childhood dreams of stopping Niagara came true. Westinghouse has received countless orders. The world then considered Tesla to be the richest man in the world, and just on the night of March 13, 1895, a fire broke out in his laboratory at 33-35 Fifth Avenue (it is possible that it was planned) and it burned to the ground with all devices. Tesla was penniless.

The German scientist B.K. Roentgen announced the discovery of the X-ray on December 28, 1895, although Tesla published his discovery of special gamma radiation in 1892 in one of the lectures, and images of the bones of his hand and ankle. But Tesla's materials burned in the fire, and he also never patented it. He even congratulated Roentgen.

He patented a system for remote control of ships and vehicles in 1898. When demonstrating the same in Madison Square Garden, the spectators thought that he was doing it with his brain. On the same occasion, he presented the first electronic system of calculation and robotic control.

In order to experiment with wireless transmission of energy through the upper layers of the hemisphere, he moved to Colorado Springs in 1899. He was financially assisted by Colonel John Jacob Astor, owner of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, with $ 30,000. The land on Pike-Peak was given free of charge, as well as energy from the local headquarters and hotel accommodation. In Colorado Springs, Tesla determined that extremely low frequency electromagnetic waves are transmitted in the space between the earth's crust and the ionosphere. This effect is known today as "Tesla-Schumann cavity". Tesla successfully transmitted energy wirelessly for 26 miles and lit 200 light bulbs of 50 watts each. It produced currents of 12 million volts and sent them to the ionosphere using a vacuum conduit tube, creating effects similar to aurora borealis. There is a famous video from Colorado Springs where Tesla is sitting and reading while lightning of high-frequency currents 7m long is shining above him. In Tesla's diary from Colorado Springs, it was found that he was communicating with the planets. The same was later confirmed by physicist Dennis Papadopoulos, of the University of Maryland, as signals from the sun and stars at a frequency of 20 megahertz.

Returning to New York in 1900, Tesla found the city in full light and using its AC motors. He then announced an extraordinary future for humanity by applying radio transmission, solar energy, machines that will be able to think, changing the climate and eliminating wars. Then J.R. Morgan has invested $ 150,000 in Tesla's radio station on Long Island, although the project is estimated at over one million dollars. Tesla promised that the world with the perfection of wireless energy transfer will gain the possibility of direct communication in words and pictures, regardless of distances. The Wardenclyffe Tower was nearing completion in 1902, except for the grand ball and electrode at the top, when Tesla was again penniless. Tesla considered it a grandiose scientific feat, which was only extremely expensive. The writer of Tesla's biography J.J. O'Neilllater explained that the cavity on the sphere was designed for ultraviolet rays directed towards the ionizing layers of the stratosphere for wireless energy transmission.

On his fiftieth birthday in 1906, Tesla announced the revolutionary discovery of a bladeless turbine. The device weighs only 5 kg with a power of 110 HP and 35,000 RPM. The turbine, among other advantages, was reversible and with small modifications easily turned into a pump capable of working even in sludge or as a compressor with an efficiency of up to 95%. Tesla's invention of bladed turbines, patents no. 1,061,142 and 1,061,206 are described as extremely applicable for car propulsion, without transmission, cylinder and camshaft, achieve maximum speed almost instantly, and above all do not emit toxic gases. Tesla specially designed them and sent them to the then car magnate Henry Ford.

After being nominated twice for the Nobel Prize, in order to rationalize those losses, Tesla stated that: “All his discoveries would remain recorded in the world professional literature and would be more valuable than all the Nobel Prizes in the next thousand years for humanity”. And there he was absolutely right.

At the beginning of the First World War, Tesla announced the invention of remotely guided missiles, and in 1917, he announced his invention, which would later be known as radar. However, it took about twenty years before it was perfected and applied in 1934.

In 1923, speculations about Tesla's "Secret Eye" appeared, when the whole world could be seen. He did not truly invent television or satellite, but he foresaw both by describing the "Visual Telegraph" in 1899. During the early 1920s, he applied for several patents, including an interesting open vacuum tube, to achieve the largest vacuum ever achieved, on the order of billions of micrometres. He described it as an extraordinarily simple device for transmitting unlimited amounts of energy and envisioned its universal application when perfected. This system would later become known as the "Differential Pump" applicable to the so-called. "Tesla's Deadly Rays".

Wanting to prevent World War II at all costs, he announced the "Deadly Rays" of unlimited power in the New York Times, describing them as the invisible and completely impenetrable "Great Wall of China" around the country. After denying him funding

J.R. Morgan immediately addressed the British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, offering complete protection of Britain from the sea and from the air, and for the execution of the same duration of only three months, he asked for $ 3 million for the same. Chamberlain also refused, referring to the just-signed non-aggression pact with Hitler. Finally, Tesla offered to sell the same League of Nations in Geneva, which somewhat worried the Americans. It was in those days that Tesla broke into his room, during which some important papers and Edison's medal (avenged revenge) disappeared. Tesla explained his invention as "Rays of Peace". He then offered the same to allied countries: the United States, Canada, France, the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia, in 1937. Today, this invention is identified as a "Charged particle beam weapon" or "Star Wars". The Soviet Union showed the greatest interest in Tesla's invention and in 1939 carried out the first experiments, for which he paid Tesla $ 25,000. Shortly afterwards, Tesla was knocked down by a taxi while crossing the street. What "coincidences"?

Tesla also proposed a system of teledynamic vibrations to detect mineral deposits in the earth, which is being done today using "research satellites".

On January 7, 1943, on Serbian Christmas, snow fell lightly over New York City. A white dove stood at the window of the thirty-third floor of the New Yorker Hotel and watched his motionless friend who had nothing to leave him. Tesla's soul went high into the heavens, which he had long ago reached with his experiments. He died as the greatest among all the greats of our millennium. His legacy benefits and will benefit the entire technological world of human civilization over the coming centuries. We Serbs have a duty to remember Tesla, to teach our followers about his contribution to human civilization and to pray for the peace of his soul on our Serbian Christmas, Glory and great thanks to him.

Jimmy Glenn in his book “The Complete Patents of Nikola Tesla” (14) at the outset specifies 117 Tesla's inventions with recognized patent numbers. There are articles that claim that 250-300 patents were granted to him, and there are also those that say that he filed about 800 patent applications. Those that are not mentioned anywhere are in the possession of the American army, which studies them comprehensively and tests them on innocent peoples. Jimmy Glenn divided Tesla's patents into groups: Motors and Generators; Transformers, Converters and Components; High frequency patents; Radio, lighting; Measurements and Meters; Motors and Drives and Various Devices and Processes. Each of the specified inventions is described in detail, with complete sketches, according to the applied patents. Jimmy Glenn's book (14) has 535 pages, is large format and small font, with Tesla's name at the end of each patented device - Fantastic copy.

Here is some more interesting information about Tesla:

He was born during a thunderstorm, exactly at midnight. He had a photographic memory and excessive hygiene habits after suffering from cholera, he slept little, he could hear thunder at a distance of up to 880 km, he heard the beat of a wristwatch in the third room, he suffered from fear of pearls, he managed to solve tasks while the professor wrote them on the board and he was witty. He had the ability to visualize in three dimensions and to memorize entire books. Sam pointed out that he inherited his research abilities from his mother Đuka, who he pointed out was very gifted, although illiterate.

Many scientists said that Tesla was the greatest human mind in the history of human science and the creator of the "New Technical Order", on whose findings the foundations of the scientific and technical development of human civilization were laid. Many considered him the "king of electricity", without whom today's technology would be impossible. It is also said that Tesla was the greatest and most talented man who ever lived on Earth. He was called the "father of physics" and the "man who invented the 21st century", the "saint" and the like. On the occasion of the centenary of Tesla's birth in 1956, the unit for measuring the strength of the magnetic field was named Tesla. One small planet, "Asteroid 2244", was named after Tesla, as was a crater on the moon. Tesla's name also refers to the manufacturer of electric cars.

Tesla, among others, filed a patent application for "smartphones" in 1909. Edison tried to discredit him in several ways but failed. Edison, by the way, has the most registered patents, but he applied for patents of all his employed associates under his own name. On Tesla's patents, others received Nobel Prizes (Marconi and Rentgen). There is a story that Donald Trump knows all the secrets about Tesla's discoveries, since his uncle John G. Trump worked at the head of the FBI commission that investigated Tesla's seized documents, after Tesla's death. The then director of the FBI, Edgar Hoover, ordered the takeover of Tesla's legacy as soon as Tesla passed away.

When the US Congress paid tribute to Nikola Tesla on July 10, 1990, nine congressmen and one senator spoke. No American scientist had such an honor, not even Thomas Edison. Tesla was the first to propose the use of renewable natural energy sources, in order to preserve the natural environment. Tesla's most important seized documents are in the possession of the US government and the army and are considered strictly confidential. Tesla intended to use the Wardenclyffe Tower to supply the whole world with free energy, but the rich hindered it and even demolished the tower in 1917. At the beginning of its construction J.R. Morgan gave Tesla $ 150,000, but he later gave it up.

In an article on the Internet (15), one article says about Tesla that he was an American immigrant, one of the most important inventors forever (Nikola Tesla, an American immigrant and one of the most important inventors ever). The article points out that immigrants in America apply for twice as many patents as domestic experts. Of all patents in America, 76% belong to immigrants. In 1901, the city of Buffalo was named the "City of Lights", after Tesla completely illuminated it, and since 1890, 80% of electrical devices in America have been on AC.

Scottish scientist James Clark Maxwell and German physicist Henry Hertz have confirmed that Tesla's currents have an advantage for high voltage transmission. During his lifetime, Tesla received 111 recognized patents, although he applied for many more (mentioned above). Today's drones, the Internet, satellites, the discovery of underground resources and others work on the basis of Tesla's inventions. Tesla even predicted the artificial intelligence of robots, which is being worked on a lot these years. He said on that occasion: "I have been working for years on an automaton that will control itself and that will act as a rational being and that will make a revolution in many commercial and industrial areas''.

During Tesla's funeral, according to his explicit wish, the song "Tamo daleko" was performed.

Who is the greatest ?

Based on all the above and everything that others have said about the importance of Leonardo da Vinci, Albert Einstein and Nikola Tesla for the entire human civilization, the author's conclusion would be as follows:

How right I am to say that Tesla's inventions have advanced human civilization perhaps even more than all the other inventors combined. Hence, Tesla is the greatest among all the greats that the human race has given birth to on Earth for all times of existence.

It is indisputable that Leonardo da Vinci and Albert Einstein were geniuses and that they deserve the recognition that has been given to them so far, but Nikola Tesla surpassed them in everything. Nikola Tesla indebted the world for all the centuries ahead. Hence it has no equal in human civilization.
