The scientist and inventor Nikola Tesla and Richmond P. Hobson, a US Navy hero and later a Congressman, maintained a very close, long-lived friendship that has led to modern speculation about the nature of their relationship. While they were not public lovers, historical accounts show deep affection and frequent meetings, with some interpretations suggesting a potential romantic, albeit private, connection. Hobson famously wrote to Tesla, asking him to come over for a "tête-à-tête" and noting that he felt he "had not seen half enough" of him, sometimes keeping them together until well past midnight. In 1905 Hobson would marry with Tesla as his best man. After the marriage two continued to meet regularly. While Tesla frequently stated that he was celibate and that intimacy would interfere with his scientific work, he often formed intense, often romanticized friendships with athletic, intellectual or charismatic men. Tesla described Hobson as living in "one of the deepest chambers in my heart" and in a later greeting sent to Hobson's daughter, he would sign himself “Nikola Hobson”.
