Nikola Tesla was born in a Serbian family, in the village of Smiljan, Croatian Krajina, Military Frontier, on July 10th, 1856. He graduated the Austrian Polytechnic at Graz. Later, he studied mathematics, physics and mechanics at the University of Prague, Czechoslovakia, for four years. There, the teachers found out that he had a remarkable memory, so he could mentally perform calculus equation. He possessed good photographic memory that made possible his astounding creative visualization. Later, he immigrated to America, becoming an American citizen. For him, the language was not a problem because, while in university, he knew to speak fluently six languages. After finishing the University, he started inventing amazing creations. In America, people started considering him a genius and he ended up standing by Einstein and even Leonardo Da Vinci. He was considered a genius because he invented shocking things for those times like radio, electrical engine, Tesla Coil, the alternative current. Because of Nikola Tesla’s work, Einstein created the “Theory of Everything". Before his death, which occurred on January 7th, 1943, in a New York City hotel room, at the age of 86, Tesla wrote: "The scientific man does not aim at an immediate result. He does not expect that his advanced ideas will be readily taken up. His work is like that of the planter for the future. His duty is to lay the foundation for those who are to come, and point the way. He lives and labors and hopes."
