When he isn't stealing ideas from Nikola Tesla, Alexander Bell or Guglielmo Marconi, and attempting to discredit them.

Edison was kind of a dick for all those animals he electrocuted.

Edison is nothing but a fraud, plagiarizer, and manipulator.

Edison was kind of an asshole who stole all "his" best ideas. Einstein basically wins by default.

Don't forget Heinrich Goebel and Joseph Wilson Swan - the guys who actually invented the light bulb.

Same thing happens in the computer industry.

Or are you to believe that IBM totally didn't steal everything from Xerox, and then everyone else stealing theirs from IBM?

Pretty sure Edison is pretty unpopular over all. Einstein did contribute to the atom bomb, but it woulda been discovered anyway so can't really blame him (might be wrong on that, just something I vaguely remember...do remember Edison is not liked though).

I consider J. Robert Oppenheimer to be more of the father of the nuclear bomb.

yeah i don't know why people believe this, like the atom bomb would have never been invented had einstein never been born or something. Same kinda thing i've heard about charles darwin too, like evolution wouldn't have been "found out" if he was never born either.
