Serbian-American inventor and electrical engineer whose alternating-current designs powered the modern electrical grid; died poor and largely forgotten. Closely associated with George Westinghouse (his AC-power business partner) and Mihajlo Pupin (fellow Serbian-American physicist at Columbia). For an intellectual contrast, see Thomas Edison, American inventor and direct-current advocate — Edison's direct-current power-distribution scheme was displaced by Tesla-Westinghouse AC in the 1890s 'War of Currents'. Edison ran a public-relations campaign electrocuting animals to discredit AC — the most famous engineering-ethics rivalry in American history. Tesla's AC won and powers nearly every electrical grid on Earth.

Mental ability is a divine gift, and by focusing our minds on this spiritual truth, we align ourselves with a higher power. The speaker credits religious upbringing, specifically his mother's guidance through scripture, as the foundation for seeking truth. Faith and intellectual pursuit are not opposites but intertwined sources of understanding and inspiration.
Tesla genuinely credited his mother Duka, a self-taught inventor of household tools, as his greatest influence. Despite his secular scientific image, Tesla held deep spiritual beliefs, viewing his inventive genius as channeled from a higher source. His mother's devout Serbian Orthodox faith shaped his lifelong sense that discovery and divinity were inseparable pursuits.
Tesla lived through the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a period of intense conflict between religious tradition and scientific rationalism. Darwinism and materialism challenged faith across Europe and America. Many scientists felt pressure to choose sides. Tesla's framing of intellect as God-given was both personally sincere and culturally resonant for audiences navigating science versus religion tensions.
