"Contemporary biographers of Tesla have regarded him as "The Father of Physics", "The man who invented the twentieth century"[4] and "the patron saint of modern electricity."

didn't say he "invented electricity" or that he had any issues with Mr Bell-

In fact I did not see one reference to Alexander Graham Bell in that article, lots of references to Edison and Marconi though.

And since you broke the rule about looking things up....

also from your cited reference;

"On the opening of the telephone exchange in Budapest, 1881, Tesla became the chief electrician to the company, and was later engineer for the country's first telephone system."

Bell got his patent for the telephone in 1876 while Tesla was still in Graz at the Austrian Polytechnic.

You need to get your inventors sorted out there dude....

not at all, just trying to hep edumacate my homies


And your man Tesla was probably the most influential electro-physics genius of his or any time- lots of things he came up with have yet to be replicated.

There was a story of him having some device that he used to power his electric car for a trip from New Jersey to Indiana and back without needing to stop for fuel or recharging, now THAT would be something to have nowadays...

A gun is shot perfectly level at a specific height. At the same time a bullet is dropped from the same height, both bullets will strike the earth at exactly the same time.

I didn't believe it, but you can't ph*ck with physics.

Not true, they will only fall the same if they are both dropped, the bullet shot is accellerated out of the chamber while the other bullet dropped has reached terminal velocity due to wind resistance.

Wait, you're saying that you have a high powered rifle that is 200 meters away from the target, and you have a helicopter 200 meters up with someone holding a bullet who is ready to drop it. If both the rifle was fired and the bullet dropped they would hit the target at the same time?

1. The rifle shooting .300winmag would explode out of the rifle going 3,050+ feet per SECOND and would hit the target in about a second.

2. The bullet that is dropped will only get to terminal velocity and thats not very fast, it would take far more then a second to hit the target.

I'm going to have to disagree with you.

Wrong, that's not what I said at all.
The gun is shot, and the bullet is dropped from the same height. I didn't mention a target.
This situation has to assume several things, one of which the bullet shot is not obstructed in its path.

I might have not worded it as it needs, to be correct. apologies.

Dr. Pepper is a real person but did not invent the drink. It was acutally invented by a guy that was dating Dr. Peppers daughter and wanted to marry her. So he named the drink after the Dr to get in the Dr's good graces so he could ask her to marry him.
