Throughout history, there have been many instances where innovators have been ahead of science. This is because innovation and science are two different fields with distinct approaches and purposes.

Innovation is the process of developing new ideas, products, or methods that create value or improve existing systems. Innovators are often driven by practical considerations and are focused on solving specific problems or meeting specific needs. They are not necessarily concerned with developing a deep understanding of the underlying scientific principles.

On the other hand, science is the systematic study of the natural world through observation, experimentation, and theoretical analysis. Scientists are focused on understanding the fundamental principles that govern the behavior of the natural world. They are not necessarily concerned with developing practical applications for their research.

In many cases, innovators have been able to make significant advances in their fields by leveraging existing scientific knowledge in creative ways. For example, the invention of the airplane by the Wright brothers in the early 20th century was made possible by their understanding of the principles of aerodynamics, which had been established by scientists such as Sir George Cayley and Otto Lilienthal.

However, there have also been instances where innovators have been able to achieve breakthroughs that were not yet fully understood by the scientific community. One famous example is the discovery of X-rays by Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen in 1895. Roentgen was able to create images of the human body using X-rays, even though the underlying physics of X-ray radiation was not fully understood at the time. This discovery eventually led to the development of modern medical imaging techniques, such as CT scans and MRI.

Pioneers like Nikola Tesla played a crucial role in the advancement of science and technology, particularly in the field of electrical engineering. Tesla was a brilliant inventor, scientist, and engineer who made significant contributions to the development of the alternating current (AC) electrical system, wireless communication, and the development of X-rays. Tesla’s work laid the foundation for many of the technological advancements we have today, such as the widespread use of AC electricity, which powers most of our homes, businesses, and industries. He also developed the Tesla coil, which is still used in radio and television broadcasting and as a component in many other electronic devices.

Inventors such as Tesla played a crucial role in the advancement of science and technology, but they were often misunderstood and underappreciated in their time. Their ideas and inventions were sometimes considered unrealistic or ahead of their time, but, not for us. We are right there with him. What is important, is that we persevere, despite opposition. After-all, Telsa would have wanted it that way.
