Nikola Tesla never married, but he claimed to have fallen in love with a white pigeon.
While Tesla dedicated his life to scientific pursuits and innovations, he never publicly expressed romantic love for another person. He remained single throughout his life. However, in his later years, Tesla developed a unique and intense connection with a white pigeon that would regularly visit him in his hotel room.
Tesla described his feelings for the pigeon as profound and deeply emotional. He claimed to have a special bond with the bird and believed it understood him. This connection became a significant part of his life in his later years. He devoted considerable time and resources to caring for the pigeon, even claiming that, near the end of the pigeon's life, he saw a light come from its eyes, a phenomenon he connected to a profound spiritual or scientific insight.
While the nature of Tesla's feelings for the pigeon is open to interpretation, his own words suggest a deep and meaningful connection.
