Description

Unbelievable rumors surround him, but the real facts of his life are even more astonishing. He received the highest honor available to a scientist: a physical unit of measurement—an electromagnetic induction unit—is named after him. His electrical engineering discoveries predetermined the development of human civilization, and nearly all of the energy sector of the twentieth century grew from his patents. What’s more—recently, information has been leaking that the lion’s share of Nikola Tesla’s inventions—capable of literally turning our world upside down—were hidden in secret storage facilities of American intelligence services, which took possession of the scientist’s personal archive after his death.
Is there even a shred of truth in these accusations? Are there serious grounds to suspect the U.S. authorities of concealing information about Tesla’s achievements? What did he discover himself, and what has been attributed to him by a press eager for cheap sensations?
