The numberous devices and methods that make our lives better have become necessities. All of these wonderful devices have been made possible through scientific discovery. At times we even go so far as to credit scientific discovery with their very existance.

We should realize that scientific discovery is just that, discovery. Science does not have the power to create. The mechanisms science has discovered have been there for eons.

Three thousand years ago people did not travel by air, send expeditions to the moon, or worry about automotive gas milage. However, the physical mechanisms that allow those modern day convieniences did exist three thousand years ago. It was just that people did not recognize their existance.

Just because something is not recognized does not mean it does not exist.
