epic rap battles of history?

Tesla is so overrated it's not even funny anymore. The guy made legitimate achievements, of course, but those real achievements have been so overshadowed by false claims of what he might have or could have done that they've become a footnote in his own legacy.

They lived in two different eras and were researching completely different things. What is the point of this thread? Smart man from 1500s or Smart man from 1800s?

Tesla has a very vocal schizophrenic fanbase. They get especially riled up when Einstein is mentioned.

I hate the narrative that he had a ton of incredible secret knowledge he was "just about" to figure out, like wireless energy etc. Dude was 80+, he didn't tragically die at the peak of his abilities.

It's unfortunate that several things are wrongly attributed to him so that other Ancient Greek mathematicians lie all but forgotten.

Is the flow of electricity naturally a little confusing, or am I just retarded

>Einstein
It's Edison who they froth at the mouth over. Einstein's "rivalry" is with Newton, who deserves far more fame and reputation than Einstein and frankly it's not even close, but the average normgroid thinks that Einstein finding relativity made Classical Mechanics "obsolete".

Not that anon, but I'm pretty sure the reference he was making was to electric universe schizos and the like. The schizo fanbase of Tesla is almost entirely comprised of alt-physics cranks. Hence why Einstein makes them seethe despite no genuine rivalry existing.

It's some weird amalgamation

>electic universe/flat earth schizos, some intersection with above

and since the 2016 elections you have MAGA schizos who believe Trump's uncle actually used those papers to build a time machine which Trump uses to ensure elections go his way and assassination attempts fail

You can't say that aether isn't real when the entire field of qm is founded on aether fields
