Marconi invented the radio.
If people like these two can get so much credit and have their names all over the place, then why can't a man who has done so much more? If you were allowed to know this man's accomplishments, you would realize how insignificant that the work of Edison and Marconi would be.
Things may not always seem as they are, that's why open mindedness is so important. To wake up everyday to find a new truth that goes against what you already know, but as long as it's logical to you, it's fine to adjust views. My psychology instructor once said "A religious person will reject any new information that goes against their beliefs no matter how logical it is, but a scientist can be persuaded to new information as long as you can prove it to them strongly." I wonder whose really the 'religious believer' then? The scientist or the religious person.
Geniuses are often born in the wrong time and not appreciated by the right people.
