Yet most people do not even know who Nicola Tesla is.
Nicola Tesla was born in 1856 in Smiljian, Croatia. Nicola was an unusual child. He had a photographic memory, so he remembered whole pages of books after he looked at them very quickly.

People said Nicola accidentally pushed him down the stairs. After this, Nicola began to act strangely.
