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.

If you could meet Albert Einstein what would you ask him?

I would ask Einstein about his thought process and how he approached solving complex problems. Additionally, I would inquire about his views on the intersection between science and philosophy, and how he maintained his curiosity and creativity throughout his life.


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.
