In Reply to: RE: Another scientist would discover electricity, just a little later. posted by Tony Lauck on March 3, 2011 at 15:27:32:
Agree entirely about simultaneous invention. Not so much about Edison! He unquestionably had creative genius, along with his well-known appetite for work. He himself said that he saw money as a metric of his success. But there are a lot of very successful suits who could never have invented the phonograph, and a lot of mathematicians, as well. In fact, almost nobody could have invented the phonograph just then, although, per your point, it would have happened eventually since the time was ripe owing to a propitious confluence of basic knowledge and technology. One fellow had even recorded sound on disks coated with carbon black, although there was then no way to play it back.
