Nikola Tesla Was the Weirdest Genius Who Ever Lived. Here's Proof.

Nikola Tesla claimed he received signals from aliens. Was terrified of pearl earrings. Fed pigeons on a New York hotel roof every single day for years. And also — in his spare time — invented basically everything that powers the modern world. Every fact about this man is either insane, heartbreaking, impressive, or all three simultaneously. In this video I tell the full story of Tesla — the weird parts, the brilliant parts, the robbery, the war against Edison, and the pigeon he loved more than any of it. Here's what we cover: 00:00 — The man who invented everything (and the earring thing) 00:33 — Born during a lightning storm. Literally. 02:10 — The brain that worked like no other brain 03:45 — New York, Edison, and the $50,000 American humor incident 05:22 — The War of Currents: Edison electrocutes an elephant 06:50 — The list of inventions (it's absurd) + the accidental earthquake 08:35 — The sad part (it's real and it matters) 09:38 — He was a child of light. His mother was right. The periodic table came from a nap. The modern electrical grid came from Tesla. He just didn't live to see himself credited for most of it. --- If this made you feel something — share it with someone who still thinks Edison invented everything.
