The 22nd episode of KBS2 Medical Storytelling Entertainment 'Secrets of the Celuv Soldier', which will air at 8:30 p.m. on the 10th, will highlight the fiery "War of the Currents" of Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla, rivals of the century, and their mysterious experiments and deaths.
Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla are leading inventors and engineers who laid the foundation for the technology industry in the 20th century. As a young man, Tesla worked for Edison's electric company and successfully completed an innovative project, but Edison did not pay the incentives he had promised. Disappointed by this, Tesla left the company and soon emerged as Edison's most threatening competitor. The clash between the two self-respecting geniuses eventually leads to a 'electric war' surrounding the initiative of direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC).
However, in their later years, they both devoted themselves to bizarre experiments that crossed the boundaries of science. Edison was engrossed in the study of 's soul communicator' that could communicate with the dead, and Tesla was committed to developing 'murder ray' weapons that were more powerful than atomic bombs. The Secret of the Celuv Soldier traces whether their last experiment was the future of science or the delusion of a genius.
Edison had to quit school because he was distracted as a child, but he showed extraordinary execution enough to start a one-man newspaper in a train cargo hold at the age of 14. Tesla, on the other hand, was serious enough in his studies and research to declare that he would give up his sex life to concentrate on experiments, saying, `If I could study engineering, I would be cured.' In particular, when Tesla's obsessive behavior of sticking to the number '3' and even setting the number of times to wash his hands was revealed, Lee Chan-won said "It's too much the same as me."It is said that he could not hide his surprise by shouting ".
Lee Nak-jun, the original author and doctor of the drama Severe Trauma Center, interestingly analyzes the neurodevelopmental characteristics of the two geniuses, noting that Edison and Tesla's behaviors are similar to ADHD and Asperger syndrome, respectively.
Professor Kwak Jae-sik, a writer and engineer, will appear on the show, easily and interestingly unraveling how Edison and Tesla have affected our lives today. Along with an interesting story that the reason why the lights are turned off when the Seoul subway passes between Seoul Station and Namyeong Station is related to Secrets of Edison', a voice of a Korean student from that time, which was recorded in Washington, U.S. in 1896, will also be released.
