Most people always talk about Newton, Einstein, Darwin and Galileo as the fathers of Modern science. And yet it is interesting to note that two figures who contributed so much to humanity and whose innovations helps throughout are daily lives.
Leonardo Da Vinci and Nikola Tesla are perhaps two of the most unappreciated geniuses of all time. And yet both made nearly everything we use in our everyday lives. They are both well ahead of their own time and is very secretive about both their own personal lives and inventions.
So first let’s start with Leonardo Da Vinci
Leonardo Da Vinci has become the personification of the idea of a Renaissance Man. Being an artists, painter, architect, sculptor, philosopher, astronomer, writer, musician, engineer, botanists, anatomist, geologist, futurists and probably even more. Leonardo Da Vinci is without a doubt the most talented who ever walked in the face of the earth. Despite being a bastard child, and therefore being unable to have a proper education, Leonardo Da Vinci never stop pursuing his ambitions. Since Leonardo was a child, he had already been curious about the world around him. His only teacher in his youth was his uncle, and yet it appears that this was more than enough to awaken his ever curious and imaginative mind.
Though his father never gave him a formal education, he redeemed himself when he let the young Leonardo study under Verrocchio in his workshop, one of the most prestigious art school in all of Italy. Leonardo never wanting to miss this chance, worked hard. Eventually Leonardo surpassed all of Verrocchio’s students and soon after that, even Verrocchio himself.
Leonardo then began his carreer as an artists by making his own workshop, and he eventually started being employed by kings and queens as well as other rich people. Due to his amazing skills in arts such as painting, sculpting and makings different other kinds of presentations, Leonardo never had much problems in looking for a new employer since he is always in demand due to his talent.
Leonardo Da Vinci wanted to make his art more realistic and also to satisfy his everlasting thirst for knowledge. Leonardo then befriend some of the top minds of his time such scholars, philosophers, mathematician, engineers, writers and others who could help him achieve his purpose. Eventually, Leonardo despite not having any formal education in science became a keen researcher in many branches of science at that time. Though the purpose of his researches at first was for his art, it became for sake of knowledge instead. He studied anatomy, engineering, botany, geology, philosophy, mathematics and made several important discoveries in all this subject.
Leonardo made or conceptualized bridges, submarines, guns, air bombs, helicopter, tanks, solar power, bobbin winder, and many more. Though Leonardo didn’t have any major contributions in architecture his notebooks contain several designs of domes, churches and even his own plans to remake an entire city.
Leonardo Da
Vinci is without a doubt the most talented man who ever lived and is one of the
greatest geniuses of all time.

Next is
Nikola Tesla
Nikola Tesla
is Serbian Electrical Engineer who can also speak eight language and memorize
an entire book. Tesla is the true father of electricity and the man who made
the 20th century through his alternating current and other amazing
inventions. Aside from AC, he made lots of inventions that we use today such as
lasers, radars, radio, X-rays, robotics, wireless communications, hydroelectric
plants, transistors and many more. He has 700 patents all in all.
There are
also claims that Tesla made a Flying Saucer, earthquake machines, Death Rays,
lightning ball and was responsible for the Tunguska event an explosion 1000
times more powerfuller than the atomic bomb dropped on Japan.
A Mad
Scientists to some, a super genius to others, Tesla was a real life Tony Stark
or Dr. Doom. Whatever he is, Tesla is one of the greatest Genius who ever lived
and yet continuous to remains unappreciated.
