Nothing is Not Something by Greg Wallace for March 04, 2013

When T. A. Edison invented the light bulb, how did his idea look like?

so now we see those coiled flourescent lights?

Davy Crockett get a brilliant idea:“I know. I think I’ll go to Texas.”

I thought it would be more like a flash of lightning.

for cavemen, was it just a flame? Campfire?

@Tigger: http://theoatmeal.com/comics/tesla is a nice start. Edison was a good business man, but not a very nice one. He has ripped off many people in his lifetime. Here’s another nice example:

For more information pertaining to the specific subject of the lightbulb. see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incandescent_light_bulbwhere it says: In addressing the question of who invented the incandescent lamp, historians Robert Friedel and Paul Israel3 list 22 inventors of incandescent lamps prior to Joseph Swan and Thomas Edison.

Next time, try doing some research yourself before asking us to come up with links for you.

Love it!
