Re: Tesla

Et ce qui m'a fait le plus marrer en fait c'est cà

But what the Oatmeal says is fallacious. First of all, I’d contend that nearly every invention in the engineering or sciences is an improvement on what has come before – such as Tesla’s improvements to alternating current. That’s what innovation is. It’s a social process that occurs in a social context. As Robert Heinlein once said, "When railroading time comes you can railroad—but not before." In other words, inventions are made in the context of scientific and engineering understanding. Individuals move things forward – some faster than others – but in the end, the most intelligent person in the world can’t invent the light bulb if the foundation for it isn’t there.

Je trouve ça assez croustillant comme argument de la part de ceux qui voudraient soutenir Edison par "corporatisme" et défendent le système de brevets.
