In the usual textbooks, we are told we know who Nikola Tesla really was, but we are only told that he discovered the principle for alternating current (the ordinary AC electricity in your home). What we are not told is that Tesla also carried out experiments and devised plans for inventions not only ahead of their time, but which would also - even today - be considered "science fiction".

No direct explanation is given for the origin and nature of the luminous bodies, the sun, the planets, and the stars. Because the Sumerians regarded the moon-god, who went by the names Sin and Nanna, as the son of the air-god Enlil, it does not seem unreasonable to suggest that they saw the moon as a bright, air-like body fashioned from the atmosphere. As the sun-god Utu and the Venus goddess Inanna are always referred to as children of the moon-god, these luminous bodies were probably imagined as having come from the moon after the latter had been formed from the atmosphere.
