If we were already talking on this page but the conversation is
gone:
you'll find our conversation in one of the archives unless you were rude. You can revive it by creating a new discussion here and linking it to the archive and you can even move it back with attribution in edit summaries with a civil note (if you're comfortable with wiki markup).
If I have left you a message on your talk page, you can reply there, but remember to add a {{tb|replace this with your username|ts=~~~~~}} template to my talk page because I might not be watchlisting your talkpage if we don't interact regularly. I will do the same for you if you ask me to or if you have not recently commented on my talkpage in the discussion.

Nikola Tesla (10 July 1856 – 7 January 1943) was a Serbian-American inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, and
futurist. He is known for his contributions to the design of the modern
alternating-current electricity supply system. This photograph, taken in Tesla's laboratory in
Colorado Springs in December 1899, supposedly shows him reading in a chair next to his giant "
magnifying transmitter" high-voltage generator while the machine produces huge bolts of electricity. The image was created through a
double exposure as part of a promotional stunt by the photographer Dickenson V. Alley. The machine's huge sparks were first photographed in the darkened room, then the photographic plate was exposed again with the machine off and Tesla sitting in the chair. Tesla admitted that the photograph was false in his book
Colorado Springs Notes, 1899–1900.
