• Answer:

  The inventor of the radio is widely disputed. So who gets the credit? Nikola Tesla? Guglielmo Marconi? Reginald Fessenden? Oliver Lodge? Amos Dolbear? Nathan Stubblefield? Or was it Mahlon Loomis? == == * Gugliegmo Marconi was an Italian inventor, and was (at first) credited with the invention of the radio, but he was later proven to have used 17 of Nikola Tesla's patents. In 1943, the radio patent by a vote by the United States Congress was reversed and given to Nikola Tesla. * A good side-note to add is that Nikola Tesla invented the fundamentals for the radio transmission before Marconi even thought of it. * See the related link, which makes a good case for Mr. Stubblefield, who demonstrated in 1892 a wireless telephonic device that operated electromagnetically at audio frequencies! * Nikola Tesla is now credited with having inventing modern radio; the Supreme Court overturned Marconi's patent in 1943 in favor of Tesla. Caveat Lector: It's important to note that the U.S. Supreme Court does not always make the correct ruling. Like any other individual or groups, the Supreme Court is fallible. The infamous Dred Scott decision is one example. Their ruling about the invention and patent of the "O-ring" is another. Inventions and patents are not necessarily the same things. * The Invention of Radio Radio owes its development to two other inventions, the telegraph and the telephone; all three technologies are closely related. (Read the history found on the telegraph and telephone pages to better understand the roots of radio.)
