Nikola always felt like he was being pulled in opposite directions, even as a child.
His father was a minister who preached at an Orthodox Christian church in their home village of Smijen, Croatia.
But Nikola's mother was an engineer and an inventor.
So he was divided between two very different worlds, one of science and one of religion.
The thing his parents agreed on was their love of education.
And Nikola took after them.
He loved to read.
He often stayed up late into the night just devouring books.
So much so that his dad actually worried about Nikola's reading habit.
He wanted his son to actually go outside, maybe get some exercise.
You know, go to bed at a reasonable time.
So his dad took all of the candles out of his bedroom.
He figured this would force him to either go to sleep or find something else to do after sunset.
Instead, Nikola went through the entire house, gathering every string and droplet of wax that he could find.
And then he made his own candles in secret.
So yeah, even as a child, Nikola was an innovator.
Yeah, it wasn't the most successful contraption they built together.
When Nikola tested it, the machine didn't fly.
It plummeted straight to the ground.
And Nikola actually got badly injured.
