Gravity

An answer to a lunar mystery: Why is the moon's gravity so uneven?
Simulations based on GRAIL data show how gravitational anomalies developed early in lunar history.
Ever since the first satellites were sent to the moon to scout landing sites for Apollo astronauts, scientists have noticed a peculiar phenomenon: As these probes orbited the moon, passing over certain craters and impact basins, they periodically veered off course, plummeting toward the lunar surface before pulling back up.

Over the last million years, it has been swinging from 22.1-degrees to 24.5-degrees, according to NASA.

This decision affected his future work because he had fewer financial resources for laboratory space and equipment.

Since I've always doubted that someone would willingly give their money away like that, kind of
why I'll need to start my own business. Then if there's other research I'd like to do, how did the patent rights affect Tesla's research?

So if I want to do any other research then I need to make sure I make money from my own invention. And this also means that whatever I do I'll need to consider how that will affect my other research. Basically I wouldn't want to alienate people who I might either want to work with or would appreciate their support. So there's that as well.

Westinghouse financed much of Tesla's research. Much of which was kind of risky, financially. Tesla didn't seem to care about getting rich, just his inventions, and getting the bills paid. Westinghouse didn't steal the patents. Tesla simply helped a friend, who took some big risks for him. Tesla already had his lab an equipment he needed, and many other ideas for that would produce financing for future projects.

Tesla screwed up, when his financial backers learned the truth about his wireless electricity distribution system. It wasn't 'free' electricity, since it would still need to be generated, same as always. It was just free to use, any where, by anyone, with no means to meter, or charge for it. No potential profit in it, just the cost of producing the electricity. Of course, there would still be profit in producing anything that is powered by the 'free' electricity. Would more people buy cars, if there was no need of fuel, or batteries? Not everyone was connected to the 'grid' at the time either. Tesla's backers, were already heavily invested in expanding the 'grid', which would have been a huge loss, if no longer needed.

All Westinghouse had to tell Tesla was he wasn't going to run the power plant.
I think Tesla was supposed to get over $2 per h.p. of electricity (Smithsonian says $2.50). That is not affordable. The money from that patent and is regulator would've made him independently wealthy. What you're talking about is after he got ripped off by Westinghouse.

Westinghouse help Tesla get started in America. When Westinghouse got into trouble, Tesla helped him out. That's what friends do... Tesla didn't need that income at the time, he was doing okay with his other patents. Tesla also had his lab, and many more ideas to build. Not everyone is greedy, or driven to get rich.

In 1712 the Royal Society in England wrote a report purporting to settle the matter — except, the whole investigation was effectively directed by Newton himself. The report found that Leibniz had concealed his knowledge of Newton's work — based on facts now known to be false. In response, Leibniz accused Newton and his followers of stealing Leibniz's own calculus and making errors in their applications of it. The dispute went on well after Leibniz's death in 1716, full of accusations and counter-accusations.
