In a phrase Nikola
Tesla > Charlie Sheen, Nyan Cat, Chuck Norris, and any other so-called win people added, then raised exponentially to the power of a googolplex. This dude invented the polyphase alternating current system, fluorescent lighting, had OCD (especially with the
number 3), caused an earthquake, might have invented a time travel machine but blueprints destroyed in
lab fire, was the
true inventor of radio, helped develop a necessary logic gate called an "AND" gate, and lots more. The best thing he did though, was invent the epic win Tesla Coil.
Nikola
Tesla was far more influential on out lives than Edison, yet he gets only a paragraph, if any in textbooks. Nikola
Tesla = WIN. And sadly he's dead and
asexual. He's also somewhat hot.
