Nikola Tesla was born in the middle of the 19th century in a small Yugoslav village, in an ordinary family, but his whole life - the life of a genius and a hermit - was so amazing that he was considered an alien from another planet. Tesla easily stepped on 100 years forward, provoking the most important (and, as time has shown, the bloodiest) technical revolution. He invented the induction motor, fluorescent lights, and wireless communications, thinking he was working for the good—remote-controlled projectiles, VTOL aircraft, and laser weapons. His power was so great that even the fall of the Tunguska meteorite is still considered the work of his hands. Tesla was confident that X-rays could be used not only in medicine, but that if desired, the Earth could be split apart through resonance... Doctors had not yet confirmed his death, and FBI agents were already bringing out sealed boxes with documents, drawings, samples of incredible machines and only God knows , with what else. All this disappeared in the basements of the secret department. Who knows what our world would be like if Tesla had carried out at least half of his grandiose projects? Who knows if there would have been our world?..
