Bonus question: What is an invention that was really important and there is no telling how long we would have to wait for it to appear had it not been discovered by the one credited with it?

    The thing about inventions is that, a fair amount of them will have a name tied to it who you’ve never ever heard before. But you’ll most likely believe the name that is tied to it but should be more credited with refining the invention to what it would be. And one poster clearly explained that.

    There will always be someone somewhere inventing something, but there’s also opportunists out there ready to pounce, take up the invention, patent it before someone else does and run away with the credit.
