Off topic MARCONI WIRELESS T. CO. OF AMERICA v. U.S., 320 U.S. 1 (1943)

Removing this to talk since its off topic (somehow we jump to 1943 within several paragraphs covering 1901-1902). It also seems to be a primary source backed argument between Wikipedia editors. It was also moot re: the invention of radio and just seems to be added around Wikipedia as an (incorrect) "Tesla invented radio" argument.

Archaic language

It would most greatly facilitate the Readers' comprehension of this Article, were the language of certain sections thereof to be recast in a more contemporary formulation. The Editors' attention may be drawn, by way of an example—though by no means the only such—to those parts referring to a man deceased for nigh on four score years in the present tense. 79.64.184.245 (talk) 05:16, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Inventor of radio should be Nikola Tesla

Apparently Nikola Tesla was the inventor of Radio, not Marconi. 120.21.55.90 (talk) 00:02, 10 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Marconi invented the first practical radio transmitters and receivers in 1894. Tesla invented the resonant transformer, which was used in some of the early radio transmitters and receivers to increase the range and became a standard part of radio gear. However Tesla was interested in wireless power transmission and never designed a radio communication system. The resonant transformer was applied to radio transmitters and receivers by John Stone Stone and Karl Ferdinand Braun. Marconi and Braun received the 1909 Nobel physics prize as recognition for their contributions. This history is detailed in the article Spark-gap transmitter. --Chetvorno^TALK 01:16, 10 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In the late 1800s, the race to invent the radio was heating up, with several inventors claiming to have made significant breakthroughs. Among them was Nikola Tesla, a brilliant inventor whose work in electrical engineering was widely respected. Despite his contributions to the field, Tesla's claims to have invented the radio were largely overshadowed by the more famous inventor, Guglielmo Marconi.

For years, Tesla fought to prove his rightful place as the inventor of the radio, but his efforts were largely ignored by the scientific community. Even after his death in 1943, Tesla's legacy remained shrouded in controversy and misunderstanding.

It wasn't until nearly a century later, in 2003, that the United States Supreme Court finally granted Tesla the recognition he had long deserved. The decision came after years of legal battles and debates among experts in the field, with the court ultimately ruling that Tesla was indeed the true inventor of the radio.

The decision was met with great excitement among Tesla's supporters, who had long believed that his contributions to the field of electrical engineering had been overlooked. Many saw the court's decision as a long-overdue vindication of Tesla's genius, and a recognition of the incredible impact his inventions had on modern society.

In the years that followed, Tesla's legacy continued to grow, with new generations of inventors and engineers looking to him as an inspiration and a guiding light. The Supreme Court's decision may have been a long time coming, but it finally set the record straight and gave Nikola Tesla the recognition he deserved as one of history's greatest inventors. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:1659:3C00:4C63:4A73:D6F6:1955 (talk) 14:33, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Invention of Radio

The invention of radio communication was preceeded by many decades of establishing discovery of radio waves. These development allowed G.Marconi to turn radio waves into a wireless communication system. In the mid-1890s, building on techniques physicists were using to study electromagnetic waves, G.Marconi developed the 1st apparatus for long-distance radio communication. By 1910, these various wireless systems had come to be called "radio" 2409:40E5:8:A141:8000:0:0:0 (talk) 10:23, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
