The Rise and Fall of Nikola Tesla and his Tower
SmithsonianMag - February 4, 2013
By the end of his brilliant and tortured life, the Serbian physicist, engineer and inventor Nikola Tesla was penniless and living in a small New York City hotel room. He spent days in a park surrounded by the creatures that mattered most to him—pigeons—and his sleepless nights working over mathematical equations and scientific problems in his head. That habit would confound scientists and scholars for decades after he died, in 1943. His inventions were designed and perfected in his imagination.
Tesla believed his mind to be without equal, and he wasn’t above chiding his contemporaries, such as Thomas Edison, who once hired him. “If Edison had a needle to find in a haystack,” Tesla once wrote, “he would proceed at once with the diligence of the bee to examine straw after straw until he found the object of his search. I was a sorry witness of such doing that a little theory and calculation would have saved him ninety percent of his labor.”

Tesla was a brilliant man for the time he was borned into, I read somewhere maybe wikipedia that his hotel room was paid by j.p morgan for not showing the world that Tesla had been cutted off and totally ignored, “they” couldn’t let their brilliant man sleep in the gutter.. He was forgotten and the poor man waited for j.p morgan to visit him but he never came..
