Summary

Conspiracies, inventions, futuristic visions, alien communication - it's as if legendary inventor and physicist Nikola Tesla was designed in a lab to be a topic on The What If? Podcast. This week we dive into the life and times of Tesla, and tell the story of his fabled, strange, cryptic and fascinating career.

His time in Serbia, traveling to the United States to war with competitor and inventor Thomas Edison, death rays, picking up alien chatter on a Tesla coil, wireless data transfer, and FBI confiscation of his life's work. It's all there, and more, this week on The What If? Podcast.
