    I asked you to provide evidence to back up YOUR statement that Edison either stole or bought his idea for the lightbulb.

    Obviously you can't do that or you would have done it already.

    Checkmate.
    Sure, okay.

      Now that we got that out of the way...can we both agree that Biden was pandering to black people by saying a black man invented the light bulb? Surely we can both agree on that!!!

        Only if we can both agree that Trump, a draft dodger, has absolutely no respect for people in the military

          You and I just can't agree on anything. We'll keep trying.

Many others including Edison had made unsuccessful attempts, both with and without the glass bulb, all the way back to Volta who proved his battery composed of zinc and lead plates separated by sheets of cardboard and soaked with salt water.

                  As I replied to copier addict, provide documented proof to what you claim.

                    One of my favorite quotes of all time is by Edison talking about all the failed attempts to make a lightbulb.


                    "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work."

                      On July 24, 1874, Woodward and his partner, Mathew Evans, a hotel keeper, filed a Canadian patent application on an electric light bulb.[2][3] It was granted on August 3, 1874 as Canadian patent number 3,738.[4] Woodward was a medical student at the time. Their light bulb comprised a glass tube with a large piece of carbon connected to two wires. They filled the tube with inert nitrogen to get a longer burn life in the filament.[1] Their light bulb was fully effective and sufficiently promising; they sold their U.S. Patent 181,613 to Thomas Edison and due to this Edison is now known for the invention of the light bulb
                      Again you failed to support your claim.
