00:00All right, I got one for you.
00:01All right.
00:02Who invented the radio?
00:04That's a hard one.
00:05You know, I finally got you.
00:07No, it's just that I don't know if you want the person they think invented the radio or the person who actually invented the radio.
00:13Well, in here it says...
00:14Marconi, right?
00:16Yeah, it ain't him?
00:17Oh, he's the one that generally thinks invented the radio.
00:19In fact, he got a Nobel Prize for it in 1909.
00:22Truth is, a guy named Nikola Tesla patented the basic idea for the radio in 1896.
00:27Same idea Marconi used for his patent several years later.
00:30Tesla fought Marconi until the day he died in 1943.
00:33Same year the Supreme Court ruled that Marconi's patent was invalid, recognizing Tesla as the inventor of the radio.
