“Let the future tell the truth and evaluate each one according to his work and accomplishments. The present is theirs; the future, for which I really worked, is mine”- Nikola Tesla
Nikola Tesla was born on July 10th 1856, in what is now Croatia. His father was an Orthodox priest. His mother, had a knack for home craft tools and machinery. Tesla was the fourth of five children. He was such a genius that he could do integral calculus in his head and graduated with a four-year term in three years, graduating in 1873. In 1882, he got a job at the Continental Edison Company. Because of his advanced skill in engineering and physics, he was soon designing improved motors.
Tesla worked every day from 9:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. or later, with dinner from exactly 8:10 p.m., at Delmonico's restaurant and later the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. Tesla would telephone his dinner order to the headwaiter, who also could be the only one to serve him. "The meal was required to be ready at eight o'clock ... He dined alone, except on the rare occasions when he would give a dinner to a group to meet his social obligations. Tesla would then resume his work, often until 3:00 a.m."
For exercise, Tesla walked between 8 and 10 miles (13 and 16 km) per day. He curled his toes one hundred times for each foot every night, saying that it stimulated his brain cells.

In comparing these particles with the bits of metal projected by his "electric gun," Tesla said, "The particles in the beam of force ... will travel much faster than such particles ... and they will travel in
