How the hell did we figure out electricity?
The most important invention in all of human history had two versions invented at the same time?
I don't believe it
What entity visited Edison and Tesla to give em the ability to make electricity happen?

I was studying a little in light today. And it uses the same fundamental equations.Maxwell's equations are a set of four fundamental equations that describe the behavior of electric and magnetic fields, forming the bedrock of classical electromagnetism, optics, and electric circuits, revealing how charges create fields and how changing fields generate each other, unifying electricity and magnetism, and predicting electromagnetic waves like light.Light consists of an oscillating electric field (an electric field makes charged objects move in its direction) and an oscillating magnetic field (a magnetic field makes moving charges change their direction perpendicular to the field), and the two fields are oscillating.

I mean we knew what static electricity was from the Roman times. The people around the Baltic would gather amber on the shores of the sea an trade it south. Voltage discovered the first battery basically. Leyden discovered you can store static charge in a jar, and Oersted accidentally discovered how magnetism interacts with electricity when he brought a compass near a current.

After he was done inventing freedom, George Washington flew a kite in the rain one day with his car keys accidentally attached. The resulting lightning strike knocked down a cherry tree which he used to make a rad new set of teeth.
He thought the teeth were so cool that he had all the blacks line up with kites of their own try try and summon more lightning in exchange for ending slavery. This was famously known as the Trail of Tears.

The fuck u mean we?
Half the dumbasses on /sci/ do not even believe in electrons.
But scientists figured out electricity by not being retarded, it happens when you spin a magnet around a wire. Not hard.
Lol.

Electricity is a natural phenomenal in the universe. It's more accurate to say how did we control electricity.It's a long story that goes centuries before Edison and Tesla. Early electrical devices were created in the 17th-18th centuries. These were simple devices that only produced static electricity such as the Electrostatic Generator and Leyden Jars. Public use of electricity was really only used as a toy and in a hilarious moment King Louis XV would gather 200 monks in a party and have them shocked with the device.The real game-changer came in 1800 when Alessandro Volta created the Voltaic pile which allowed electricity to be controlled rather than just a static charge. From then we soon get the telegraph, arc lamps, and electrical motors as some of the earliest practical electrical devices. Electricity was widely used and very well understand by the time Edison and Tesla comes around.

The greeks already knew about Static electricity, they just didn't understand it but they knew how to induce it. The friction of Amber caused Static electricity, and guess what? Electron is greek for AmberThats where it started. Someone just found out about it and worked on it more than the greeks did
