For the second half of Nikola Tesla's life, he basically lived in a hotel.
Many people once thought that Tesla was poor in his later years, so he could only live in a small hotel.
The same cannot be said either.
In fact, he lives in hotels that many ordinary people may not be able to afford: Waldorf Astoria, St. Regis, Pennsylvania Hotel, ......The Wyndham New Yorker is also a well-located four-star hotel in New York – of course, the hotel is a bit lower than it used to be.
However, Tesla really couldn't afford to stay in a hotel, so Waldorf Astoria and St. Regis "politely" asked him to leave. As for the Pennsylvania Hotel, it almost drove him away - he became obsessed with pigeons in his later years.
Tesla not only goes to the square to feed the pigeons, but also brings the injured pigeons back to the room, has the chef cook special meals for him, and even uses his genius to make a mechanical device for the injured pigeons to support its recovery.
Tesla himself was naturally obsessed with it, and regarded pigeons as his best companion and even companion in his old age, but the hotel and other guests complained that there was pigeon droppings on the windowsills (including those on the windowsills of the next room), and pigeon feathers ...... the rooms
So he became an undesirable guest.
In fact, Tesla would have had no problem staying at the Waldorf Astoria or even a better hotel, or simply buying himself a big castle: someone had calculated that because he had invented the alternator, if he applied for a patent, he would soon become the richest man in the world.
But he gave up the patent.
His pleasure lies in the process of invention and great results, and as for making money, he is not interested.
Eventually, Tesla moved to The Wyndham New Yorker, which was a little worse than Waldorf Astoria or St. Regis, but it wasn't much of a difference for Tesla—he couldn't afford to pay for it.
The room expenses for his later years were paid for him by the Westinghouse Electric Company where he worked. But Westinghouse should do the same, and in fact they made an unbeatable bargain: Tesla gave up patents that were enough to bring the company back to life, and even make a lot of money.
In the early morning of January 8, 1943, in room 3327 of the Wyndham New Yorker Hotel, a maid named Alice found a body lying on the bed, the body of Nikola Tesla.
According to the forensic examination, the exact period of death of the 87-year-old Tesla should be around 10:30 p.m. on January 7, and the cause of death was heart failure.
The ** you see may not be the last one of Tesla's lifetime, but it is indeed his dying **.
* His face was emaciated, his cheeks were even sunken, his hair was thinning, and his teeth were probably gone, if nothing else.
But you look at the look in his eyes, look at his expression, he has a world of his own.
On the evening of April 4, 1968, a dull gunshot broke the tranquility of Memphis.
The gunfire came from a budget hotel called "Siburuer", but the target of the bullet was the second-floor balcony of the "Lorraine" hotel, about 100 meters away from the hotel.
The man who was shot was a black man of about 40 years old who was discussing something with two assistants on the balcony.
The black man who was shot immediately lost consciousness and was rushed to the hospital, where he died soon after.
Immediately after the black man was shot, Tennessee Governor Buford Ellington, where Memphis is located, immediately ordered 4,000 National Guardsmen to enter the city to maintain law and order. At the same time, a curfew was declared for residents.
Even so, in some parts of Memphis City, small riots broke out.
Why did that person's assassination cause such a big uproar?
Because that man was not an ordinary man, his name was Martin Luther King, Jr.
This image was taken just before Martin Luther King Jr. was standing on the second floor of the Lorraine Hotel, preparing to give a small speech to the public — the last image he left to the world.
The man who killed Martin Luther King Jr. was Ray, a retired soldier, but even more a crappy thief:
He was once caught and sentenced to prison for stealing a typewriter because he had bent down to pick it up when he fled because the bank passbook he was carrying with him had been lost; After he was released from prison, he was arrested again for robbing a taxi driver; After being released from prison again, he robbed a laundry shop, and when he was driving away, he threw himself out in a sharp turn and **. In prison, he made several unsuccessful attempts to escape, including one when he hid in an elevator and forgot to close the ......elevator doors
But this is the kind of person who managed to escape from prison in 1967 and lived a worry-free life, and finally took a sniper rifle with a scope and killed Martin Luther King.
And, after the killing, Ray disappeared.
The FBI dispatched more than 3,000 agents to search for the man around the world, and finally found Ray at the London airport three months later, holding a Canadian passport with his ** on it but someone else's name on it.
Lei was then brought back to China and sentenced to 99 years in prison.
In 1998, when Ray was dying of liver disease, Martin Luther King's son, Dexter King, visited him on his deathbed and said something like this:
It was ** who killed my father, not you. ”
In 1954, Albert Einstein turned 75.
He wasn't having a good time.
In March of that year, the famous US Senator McCarthy publicly rebuked Einstein as "an enemy of the United States".
In fact, all this has been traced since the Second World War.
As the leader of the letter to Roosevelt** to build the atomic bomb as soon as possible, Einstein was not included in the list of scientists of the "Manhattan Project".
This is obviously not due to his lack of qualifications or knowledge. In fact, Einstein's name was prominently included in the list of 31 scientists drawn up by the "Manhattan Project" at the beginning, but the FBI circled his name on the grounds that "Einstein had communist tendencies."
At that time, Einstein himself did not know that as a world-class scientist with both prestige and ability, since he arrived in the United States from 1933 as a German immigrate, Hoover, who served as the director of the FBI, had been on the "primary blacklist".
Because Einstein expressed sympathy and support for human rights, for anti-war, for pacifists and even for socialists, these are the reasons why the FBI doubted him.
Secret FBI archives declassified from 1983 show that Einstein's surveillance has intensified since the end of World War II: Einstein's ** began to be tapped, letters began to be opened, even trash cans would be turned over, and several times people broke into private homes and searched private homes. The FBI even suspected that there was a secret cable under Einstein's house, through which Einstein communicated with Moscow by telegraph.
In 1950, "McCarthyism" began to prevail in the United States, and USCIS once hoped to join forces with the FBI to cancel Einstein's American citizenship.
Einstein was indignant at such treatment.
At a dinner on July 1, 1948, Albert Einstein said this to the Polish ambassador to the United States:
I think you should realize by now that the United States is no longer a free country. Someone must be recording this conversation. This hall is equipped with *** and my residence is also under close surveillance. ”
McCarthy declared Einstein an "enemy of the United States", and Einstein was not to be outdone, and on November 18, 1954, Einstein issued a statement in the journal "Reporter", saying that he did not want to be a scientist in the United States, preferring to be a craftsman or a peddler.
In 1955, at the age of 76, Einstein left this one** and died in Princeton, New Jersey, shortly after.
Eisenhower, then the U.S. **, said in his eulogy:
In his quest for knowledge and truth, he found a breath of freedom here, for which the American people are proud. ”
In the secret FBI files, Einstein made the following statement in December 1947:
I came to the United States because I heard that there is a lot of freedom in this country, and I made the mistake of choosing the United States as a free country, which is an irreparable mistake in my life. ”
After Einstein's death, he followed his will, did not issue obituaries, and did not hold funerals.
His body was cremated only by 12 of those closest to him.
His ashes were scattered into an unknown river, and there was no grave and no monument.
It is still unknown where he is buried.
This is not the last ** before Mr. Deng Jia, but it is the last photo of him and Yang Zhenning before his death.
In June 1986, Yang Zhenning came to visit Deng Jiaxian, who was seriously hospitalized with rectal cancer. Deng Jiaxian insisted on taking photos with his best friends since childhood. He was smiling at the time of the photo — but there seemed to be a trace of coughed blood at the corner of his mouth that hadn't been wiped off.
This is not the first time Yang Zhenning has returned to China to see Deng Jiaxian.
In 1971, Yang Zhenning, who had already won the Nobel Prize at that time, was invited by China to return to China for the first time to visit relatives after leaving China to study in the United States.
After Yang Zhenning got off the plane, the Chinese receptionist asked him who he wanted to meet. Yang Zhenning opened a list, and the first person's name was Deng Jiaxian.
Yang Zhenning didn't know that his nostalgic act of friendship inadvertently saved Deng Jiaxian.
After receiving Yang Zhenning's request, he immediately made a decision and quickly recruited Deng Jia to come to Beijing in the name of "**General Office", thus saving Deng Jiaxian from the criticism of the "rebels".
After Yang Zhenning and Deng Jiaxian met, they were extremely excited, and they almost didn't say anything - the reason why they used "almost" was because Yang Zhenning knew that there was a field where he couldn't ask more.
When Yang Zhenning returned to the United States to transfer from Beijing to Shanghai, Deng Jiaxian sent him on the plane at Beijing Airport, and they all walked up the gangway, Yang Zhenning couldn't help it, turned around and asked Deng Jiaxian softly:
Jiaxian, I really can't help but ask, can you not answer: I heard in the United States that China's first atomic bomb had the help of American scientists, is it true? ”
Deng Jia was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and replied:
You get on the plane first, and I'll tell you later. ”
Subsequently, Deng Jiaxian immediately reported the situation to ***, and the reply was:
Arguably, truthfully. ”
So, Deng Jia first wrote a letter to Yang Zhenning overnight. Before Yang Zhenning left Shanghai and returned to China, the letter was specially delivered by the civil aviation department.
At that time, Yang Zhenning was attending a farewell banquet, he opened the letter that had been specially delivered, and saw Deng Jiaxian writing in it:
China's atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb were all developed by the Chinese themselves, and not a single foreigner participated. ”
Yang Zhenning burst into tears on the spot.
During his hospitalization, which coincided with the National Day in 1985, Deng Jia first proposed that he still wanted to see Tiananmen Square.
After receiving approval, Deng Jia first made the trip. Looking at Tiananmen, he said to his young guards:
By 2049, 100 years after the founding of our country, it will definitely be very strong, and you will come to see me more often. ”
In April 1986, Deng Jiaxian's condition was already very serious, but he still endured the pain and cooperated with Yu Min to complete the "Proposal" on the future planning of China's nuclear ** project.
After the "Proposal" was handed in, the name "Deng Jiaxian", which had been incognito for 28 years, finally began to be declassified. Through the reports of the world, the world finally knows that there is such a person behind China's nuclear development.
In June 1986, the then chairman of the Military Commission signed an appointment appointing Deng Jiaxian as deputy director of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense. In the same month, Deng Jiaxian was named a "National Model Worker" - he received this award at his hospital bedside.
More than a month later, on July 29, Deng Jiaxian's life came to an end.
He left three words on his deathbed.
The first sentence is to his wife Xu Luxi:
I'm sorry for you. ”
The second sentence is to say to yourself:
Never regret it, die without regrets. ”
The third sentence is an entrustment to future generations:
Don't let people leave us too far behind......”
When Deng Jiaxian died, he was only 62 years old.
On July 29, 1996, China** conducted its 45th and final nuclear test.
Subsequently, China solemnly announced to the world:
Since then, China has imposed a moratorium on nuclear testing. ”
This day is the 10th anniversary of Deng Jiaxian's death.
