On December 31, 1879, Thomas Edison lit up the night—and the future—with the public debut of his practical incandescent light bulb. In this episode of History Deep Dive, we dive into the dramatic story of innovation, ambition, and transformation behind one of history’s most iconic inventions.
Discover how Edison built upon earlier failed attempts, assembled a dream team at Menlo Park, and revolutionized everyday life through electric light. We'll explore the lesser-known inventors who paved the way, the fierce patent battles that followed, and the infrastructure Edison built to power a brighter future.
This illuminating episode isn’t just about a light bulb—it’s about how persistence, teamwork, and ethical questions shaped modern innovation.
