The Prestige - Nikola Tesla

I've been curious about Nikola Tesla since the first time I saw a Tesla coil power a neon lamp connected to nothing at all.

The depiction of this Croatian inventor in The Prestige is very good, and it even took me 3 viewings to realize it was actually David Bowie playing him.

That's a matter of definition, isn't it? Tesla tells him "They're all your hat", but they're obviously separate objects now. So if there's no way to tell them apart, down to their very molecules, how do you call one the "original" and not the other?

But as The Great Danton says, no one cares about the man in the box
