Tonight on Dormant Knowledge, we explore one of history's most iconic inventions. But the story of Edison's light bulb is far more complex than the simple myth suggests.
Join host Deb as we illuminate the fascinating truth behind Thomas Edison's greatest triumph. Discover why Edison tested over 3,000 different materials, from platinum to bamboo, in his quest for the perfect filament. Learn about the brilliant competitors like Joseph Swan and Nikola Tesla who were solving the same problems independently. And uncover the ruthless business tactics Edison used in the famous "War of Currents" against alternating current power.
This isn't just the story of a single invention; it's the tale of how Edison created the entire electrical utility system that powers our modern world, transforming human civilization from a daylight-dependent society to one that never sleeps.
Drift off while discovering the science of incandescence, the engineering marvels of Menlo Park, and the collaborative genius behind what we think of as Edison's solo achievement. From gaslight to electric light, this is the illuminating journey that changed everything.
Perfect for curious minds who love learning while falling asleep. Sweet dreams, and may your rest be as brilliant as Edison's breakthrough.
