While listening on my cosmic phone
I caught words from the Olympus blown.
A newcomer was shown around;
That much I could guess, aided by sound.
"There's Archimedes with his lever
Still busy on problems as ever.
Says: matter and force are transmutable
And wrong the laws you thought immutable."
"Below, on Earth, they work at full blast
And news are coming in thick and fast.
The latest tells of a cosmic gun.
To be pelted is very poor fun.
We are wary with so much at stake,
Those beggars are a pest—no mistake."
"Too bad, Sir Isaac, they dimmed your renown
And turned your great science upside down.
Now a long haired crank, Einstein by name,
Puts on your high teaching all the blame.
Says: matter and force are transmutable
And wrong the laws you thought immutable."
"I am much too ignorant, my son,
For grasping schemes so finely spun.
My followers are of stronger mind
And I am content to stay behind,
Perhaps I failed, but I did my best,
These masters of mine may do the rest.
Come, Kelvin, I have finished my cup.
When is your friend Tesla coming up."
"Oh, quoth Kelvin, he is always late,
It would be useless to remonstrate."
Then silence—shuffle of soft slippered feet—
I knock and—the bedlam of the street.
Nikola Tesla, Novice

I believe that these parts of the poem Olympian gossip portray who Nicola was. A an of ambition and genius. This poem gives true insight omn who he was and what he thought.

He invented electricity, and, therefore, influenced the modern age. Nikola Tesla was born in Smiljan in located in the in the boarder province of Austria-Hungary in today’s Croatia republic. His mother, to whom Tesla attributed hid inventiveness…
in 1856, Nikola Tesla is was one of the greatest electrical engineers in history. His inventions could have transformed the world, it could have given us a world with wireless electricity. Tesla’s story begins in the Austrian Empire. Tesla’s father was a priest, and his mother stayed at home. While his mother stayed at home she would use her free time to craft tools, or mechanical appliances. Tesla later said this was a big influence in why he got so interested in engineering. Tesla also had five…

Kemmler, a convicted ax-murderer, who died horribly on August 6, 1890, in "an awful spectacle, far worse than hanging." The technique was later dubbed "Westinghousing." In spite of the bad press, good things were happening for Westinghouse and Tesla. The Westinghouse Corporation won the bid for illuminating The Chicago World's Fair, the first all-electric fair in history. The fair was also called the Columbian Exposition — in celebration of the 400th Anniversary of Columbus discovering America…
forgotten or lived in the shadows of others. It is the case of Nikola Tesla, who is one of the most underestimated and important scientists whose vision allowed shaping the modern society.

At the 1893 World Exposition in Chicago, Tesla demonstrated the safety AC electricity was by passing high frequency AC power through his body to power light bulbs. He then was able to shoot large lightning bolts from his Tesla coils to the crowd without harm. Nikola Tesla was one of the most important engineers of his time. Although he never received a university degree, he was one of the pioneers of radio, took some of the first X-ray photographs, constructed the first radio-controlled robots, and…
