Combattre les objections, ce n'est souvent détruire que les fantômes.

Nikola Tesla was born on this day in 1856.

Aged 35 (and a half) Tesla delivered a talk here at the Ri on AC power that was so spectacular, audiences flocked back the next night for an encore.

We love a science demonstration, and judging by his sprawling lecture desk, so did Tesla…

120 years after Tesla stood in the Faraday theatre (in 1892) we recreated a demonstration of his Tesla coil in the 2012 Christmas Lectures: https://youtu.be/5piP_qfDvBA?t=4s

Albemarle Street (where we live) was the first road in London to become one-way, because our public science lectures were the talk of the town and the street became gridlocked by the carriages of our eager audience members #humblebrag
