I was going bring up Tesla's global wireless charging, but decided not to derail the thread.
Unlike some people.........

Albert wasnt too keen on quanta or packets of energy iirc.
Einstein vehemently opposed quantum mechanics his entire life, but his theories of relativity are what allowed for its discovery.
If he'd realized this link he could have been the discoverer of relativity and quantum mechanics, arguably the two most influencial physics concepts of our time, and would almost certainly get the edge regardless of whether he could spell math or not.

Honestly, Edison has to have the most undeserved positive legacy of any inventor in the history of mankind. The man simply had the best lawyers that stole/buried other inventions that could threaten his empire. The man was a definition of an a-hole.

Cool your jets there Jet. Tesla credited his creativity to his celibacy.
ETA: To the OP: Newton

I'd put both of them much higher than Da Vinci. Leonardo was more of a conceptualist, and most of the stuff he envisioned wouldn't come to pass until centuries later and work under much different means than he could envision.

Tesla's eulogy to Edison:
quote:
He had no hobby, cared for no sort of amusement of any kind and lived in utter disregard of the most elementary rules of hygiene ... His method was inefficient in the extreme, for an immense ground had to be covered to get anything at all unless blind chance intervened and, at first, I was almost a sorry witness of his doings, knowing that just a little theory and calculation would have saved him 90 percent of the labor. But he had a veritable contempt for book learning and mathematical knowledge, trusting himself entirely to his inventor's instinct and practical American sense.

Thanks for sharing that.

He and Bill Nye are both getting invites to my wedding. I'm hoping to at least get a signed letter from them, but if they show up

Newton. His brain was a living computer.
