I am not sure whether "squander" is the right word to use here. To a Scientiest as ambitious and risk taking as tesla, a failed experiement would mean loosing wealth. But when you consider that all those failed experiments could have inspired/helped future generations, i find the word in appropriate.
just my first thought when i read it. no negativity intended.
- grellas 17y agoOK, good point, no negativity taken (actually, I was just tracking what the article said - the various comments here have made me want to learn a lot more about Tesla, an obviously fascinating person about whom I knew very little up to this point).
- sree_nair 17y agoCool. It was a Big Surprise to me that I haven't learned about Tesla & his inventions even after "studying" science for so many years.
