Dante Tessieri was an Argentinean scientist born in the late nineteenth century. Between many of the today unknown geniuses on history, we can not avoid watching Dante, a man who excelled on the fields of physics, electricity and mathematics. Being him one of the first scientist to actually disagree with Albert Einstein's general relativity theory, doing so by publishing a book called "La Relatividad General ante la prueba Suprema".(Such book could be is found today in the Argentinean National Congress Library [1]). In this book, Dante Tessieri calls himself "Galileo", using it as an alias, with the course of the book Dante refers to Einstein with apathy as he tends to correct Einstein's relativity theory with valid references.
His Life
As of today, not much of his life is known. He was born between 1850 and 1875 and died between 1920 and 1935, as a young physicist, he was able to make many discoveries which led him to the attempt of proving the general relativity theory wrong. Other than a great scientist and mathematician but he also took his knowledge and expanded it through writing. Not only did he write his book "La Relatividad General ante la pruba Suprema" -(The General Relativity) but he was also famous at the time because of his articles on magazines such as the "Revista de Obras Publicas" -(Magazine of Public Inventions). Between his many articles, today we have one that he titled "Expresion de la Potencia de un Ventilador" in which he tells the reader how to mathematically find the effectiveness of a fan and how much better could it be with a electric motor, now remember this article was written on December 1904. Between other of his many accomplishments, he was also the leader of the entire masonry in Argentina, a group were only the wise and intellectuals are invited to make part of. To be the leader of the masonry in a country is probably the biggest honor to any person since it means that you are between the most intelligent and influential people in the nation.
