Did Thomas Edison kill Nikola Tesla?
Tesla moved to the United States in 1884. When he arrived, he worked as an assistant to Thomas Edison, then in his late 30's. Edison had just invented the electric light bulb, but he needed a system to distribute electricity to houses. He designed a DC (direct current) system, but it had many bugs in it. Edison promised Tesla lots of money in bonuses if he could get the bugs out. Tesla took the challenge and ended up saving Edison over $100,000, which was millions of dollars by today's standards. Edison later refused to keep his promise. Tesla quit not long after that, and Edison spent the rest of his life trying to discredit Tesla which is the main reason why he is so unknown today. Edison was envious of him and instead of working a relatioship and working with him, the rest is known.
Why did Thomas Edison started a fire on the barn?
You're mixing a few stories, which (unfortunately) Edison was also known to do. Thus, it is difficult to sort out which stories of Edison's early life were true, which were false, and which were exaggerations. Anyway, the two stories you are probably remembering are from Edison's fierce determination to study chemistry while working as a teenager. In the first story, Edison claimed that his chemicals started a fire in a train's boxcar, resulting in the train conductor slapping him on the side of his head while throwing him off the train*. In the second story, Edison spilled some battery acid while working as a telegraph operator. The acid dripped through the floor and onto the desk of his boss in the floor below -- resulting in Edison getting fired. I reiterate that it is difficult to discern the truth in either of these stories, as Edison was never consistent in relating his early life. * This was the FIRST story Edison told about how he lost most of his hearing. He later said a conductor grabbed him by his ears while Edison ran to get on a moving train. As both Thomas' father and brother were also quite hard of hearing, it is more likely that all of them lost hearing due to scarlet fever.
