Nikola Tesla was born during a lightning storm on July 9, 1856 around midnight. Considering lightning a bad omen, the midwife said that would be a child of darkness, to which his mother replied, “No. He will be a child of light.”
Tesla grew up to be one of the most futuristic scientists the world has ever seen. He is best known for developing the modern day alternating current (AC) electric supply system.
