where is george washington carver in this whole ordeal? he created hundreds of inventions in his time
Edison was a crook. He paid off people to create things and then took the credit or try to prove the ones who couldn't be bought wrong. Tesla by far is the greatest of all time. Electric motor and alternating current...need I say more.
C'mon man.
Tesla should be at the top of the list. Thomas Edison was a great inventor but Tesla was the first and true mad scientist.
editiom was great invetor all time....
Nikola Tesla.
Far and away the greatest of all time, and most important to us today.
AC electricity; electric motor; radio; remote control; some X-rays; fluorescent light; Tesla coil; etc.
Edison was a businessman, but in terms of inventors, he couldn't even shine Tesla's shoes.
