Best Answer

Edison and Einstein never met in person. Edison was significantly older than Einstein, and Einstein did not immigrate to the U.S.A. until 1933, two years after Edison had passed away. For perspective, in 1879, when Einstein was born, Edison had just perfected the first practical Incandescent light.

When did Nikola Tesla meet Thomas Edison?

Nikola Tesla was referred to Edison by a mutual friend. Tesla emigrated to New York and gave a recommendation letter to Edison who hired him to help develop DC power systems. Their partnership did not last long. Instead of working on DC power as Edison challenged him, Tesla chose to improve Faraday's AC power. Edison would not listen to Tesla's arguments for AC power, and Tesla quit. George Westinghouse then bought Tesla's AC patents, and directly challenged Edison in the current wars which Westinhouse eventually won. Ironically, many devices used today are DC (computers, cell phones, LED lights, etc.) as Edison predicted, and converters have to be used to step down from AC back to DC.


Was there another scientist that worked with Nikola Tesla?

He worked with the Edison company. This didn't mean they worked together. Tesla worked underneath Edison's command as a employee and not coworker. When Tesla came to the United States, Edison had serious problems with his direct curent motor which Tesla corrected. Edison didn't not meet his payment agreement so Tesla left his company. As most Edison's patents were the work of employees in his company, so was the major contribution Edison did electricatly which was the direct current motor which was in great part made by Tesla. Edison couldn't work it work no matter what.
