Join President and Co-Founder of the Buffalo Niagara Nikola Tesla Council, Dr. Francis S. Lestingi, for the debut of a brand new lecture! This visually-rich projection Lecture delves into one of the most fascinating intellectual clashes of the 20th Century: the conflict between Nikola Tesla and Albert Einstein over the nature of nature itself. We will show how Einstein’s theories of relativity revolutionized our understanding of space, time, matter, energy, and reality. In contrast, Tesla rejected relativity, clinging to a deterministic, ether-based worldview even while pioneering alternating current power systems, radio technology, and high-frequency electrical innovations that electrified our modern civilization. By separating Tesla’s genuine scientific and engineering brilliance from his philosophical and physical misconceptions, we will offer a balanced reassessment of both men. The result is a compelling exploration of genius, rivalry, and the dramatic transformation of our infrastructure by Tesla and the reshaping of civilization’s worldview by Einstein.
Thanks to the support of the Buffalo Niagara Nikola Tesla Council, this talk is free to the public!
