RE: Ibn al-Haytham - the first scientist
Tesla is my favorite scientist. He is Croatian, Serbian and American AND he invented electricity!

Tesla didn't invent electricity by any means. It was discovered and documented by the Greeks thousands of years ago. Of course, they didn't know how to produce it. That was done largely by Michael Faraday a century before Tesla.
Tesla didn't even invent AC - that was done by three Hungarian scientists. Indeed, he didn't even invent the induction motor independently! And the three phase electricity we use today was developed by other people.
In short, Tesla is wildly overrated and misunderstood for having done things he never did. He was a phenomenal figure alright, but frankly not a very good scientist.
Were it not for Edison, no one would even know about Tesla.
Wow to be honest i didn't know that! valuable information but i must say somehow Tesla discovered something that got him killed, have you heard about "The Free Energy" ?!
