Supposedly, one of Tesla's secrets taken to the grave was a "death ray." Tesla died in 1953. In 1961 the laser was invented, using principles that Tesla did not believe in (quantum physics). By the 1970s, laser weapon prototypes were developed that could cut through metal. By 2010, we had an airborne laser that successfully intercepted a ballistic missile in boosting flight. All without Tesla.
Tesla was a great inventor, but he was human...not Gandalf the Grey.
