- "Tom, how am I going to generate that kind of power? It can't be done, it can't!"
- —Emmett Brown
Thomas Edison (February 11, 1847 – October 18, 1931[1]) was a scientist of the late 19th and early to mid 20th century.
History
Thomas Edison's portrait (right)
Edison developed the first working incandescent light bulb and electrified many portions of the United States.
Emmett Brown had a portrait of Thomas Edison in his garage.
Doc brown asks Thomas Edison to sign his light bulb.
When trying to persuade a heartbroken Emmett Brown to continue his path on science, Marty brings up Thomas Edison and the light bulb as an example of an invention that has made a positive difference.[2]
Shortly after, Marty claimed that he didn't have the guts to follow his dreams, and dismissed his aspirations as daydreams. Emmett responded by pointing out that Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein and Dr. Frankenstein all had daydreams, and went on to make great accomplishments.
Behind the scenes
- Doc's portraits are of Isaac Newton, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Edison and Albert Einstein, each of whom can be said to contribute to his development of the DeLorean time machine in the form of physics, conservation of charge, electrical invention and the space-time continuum.
