We know that he was undoubtedly persecuted by the energy power brokers of his day - namely Thomas Edison, whom we are taught in school to revere as a genius. He was also attacked by J.P. Morgan and other "captains of industry." Upon Tesla's death on January 7th, 1943, the U.S. government moved into his lab and apartment confiscating all of his scientific research, some of which has been released by the FBI through the Freedom of Information Act. (I've embedded the first 250 pages below and have added a link to the .pdf of the final pages, 290 in total). Besides his persecution by corporate-government interests (which is practically a certification of authenticity), there is at least one solid indication of Nikola Tesla's integrity - he tore up a contract with Westinghouse that was worth billions in order to save the company from paying him his huge royalty payments.
Thomas Young is the scientist who proposed in 1801 that light is a wave, using his double-slit experiment to support this theory.
A scientist can prove a theory by conducting experiments, collecting data, and analyzing results to see if they consistently support the predictions made by the theory. The more evidence that aligns with the theory's predictions, the stronger the support for the theory. Additionally, peer review and replication of results by other scientists help confirm the validity of a theory.
Experiments that involve systematically testing hypotheses, collecting data, and analyzing results. This process helps the scientist gather evidence to support or reject their initial hypotheses, leading to the formation of a conclusion or solution to the problem at hand.
The scientist could reevaluate the hypothesis, consider alternate explanations for the results, or modify the experimental design to address potential limitations. It is also important to replicate the study to confirm the findings and consult with colleagues for insights.
Scientists prove a theory by conducting experiments, making observations, and collecting data that support the theoretical predictions. Consistent and reproducible results from these experiments provide evidence to support the theory. Additionally, peer review and scrutiny by other scientists help validate the theory.
Andrew Carnegie.
Absolutely not. Carnegie was a prototypical capitalist "robber baron" who ruthlessly exploited his workers.

Andrew Carnegie did not actively support racial integration. While he did fund libraries and educational institutions regardless of race, he did not engage in civil rights activism or explicitly advocate for integration.

Because the USSR withdrew support for reactor projects in China in 1959.
a scientist can do another experiment or change their hypothesis.
President John Tyler withdrew from the 1844 Presidential Race, having discovered, while on his honeymoon, that his level of support was soft.
