All ignorant posts aside, if Tesla was still alive the world.... would be slightly more interesting at best.

P.S: What makes you think not much Teslas are present right now? It's just with globalization and easy of access to Internet it's much harder to make a name _only_ for yourself for a _long_ time anymore... as a scientist... in 2013...

P.S: Time Machine +1 :d

i think its more along the lines of more and more people don't care.
with all the scientific advancements seemingly happening every month, plus in articles online writen up about x discovery or x new tech it almost always says "scientists have"... in the modern world breakthroughs are done by groups of people, instead of just one person... would be alot of names to remember

plus not many of these advances seem to be anything new, only just improving on what we already have. none are really life changing..
well, only thing i noticed is we are learning how to use stem cells better and possible "organ printing" and the 3D printers that can produce edible meals.
but ofcourse, it'll be a long time before we see those things being used.

i think what we need are people like neil degrasse tyson, more "science communicators" to get people interested in science.


atleast thats my take :)

Time machine

everyone would be using wireless electricity he had a plan for it but he never got to use it.

Definitely the world would be different. The scary part would be if someone (like another Hitler or Stalin), got their hands on whatever technology and used it for their own gains. How much more screwed up would we be?

yea i can definetly agree with that, just research HAARP, that's why Russia simply can't send a warhead to the west coast of the USA, the earth's magnetic field would fry it with a little help from HAARP. And he was indeed working on a way to harvest nature's electricity - which would mean free power - and I doubt anyone would allow that, there is still speculation on whether or not he died of natural causes. But a modern Tesla made weapon? We would have particle beam weapons with lethal force, we would have electromagnetic body armor, and that's just the tip of the iceberg

If Tesla was alive now, he would have got better opportunities and investments to work on his projects and find a solution to free energy.

A lot of geniuses have been considered mad or somehow eccentric.
