On this date in 1878 Leon Scott ordered his work to be burned. Fortunately the people around him ignored the request. Leon invented sound recording in 1850—but was called a charlatan & heretic. This is his story—it should be taught in grade schools. http://qr.ae/TW7tOV
I hear ya. I would rather accept 1000 “wrong” folks un “debunked” then to lose a single Leon Scott suicide. To me that world is more worth it then being “right”.

I can appreciate that. If only history was more teaching all history & wasn't including propaganda it would be fine.
Eastern Europe teaches Nikolai Tesla as part of electrical engineering, Western countries gloss over most of his work to favour Edison -
Indeed! It is heartbreaking to not see the life of Tesla taughtto all children. If it inspires just a single Tesla out of billions just think how it would change humanity. These folks carry us all on their shoulders.
