      I believe Tesla once said of Marconi...

      "Marconi is a good fellow. Let him continue. He is using 17 of my patents."

      Oh well, it is a tech historical mark. Tesla fans aside, good work Marconi...you thieving cheat

        Not to mention Heinrich Hertz who was the first to harness electromagnetic radiation and from whom Tesla got much of his inspiration.

            This is starting to sound like an episode of 'Connections'

            Hertz took his inspiration from Albert Michelson's 1881 experiment and the 1887 Michelson–Morley experiment. In 1907 Michelson received the Nobel Prize in Physics, the first American to win in the sciences.

            Of course all of them are indebted heavily to a Scott named James Clerk Maxwell.
