So many of these major discoveries were made purely by accident. Accidents
which might not have happened if Engineers and Scientists hadn't had the
freedom, and the funding, to take time with this or that strange phenomenon
observed in conjunction with an accident.
I certainly hope you're joking!

for rapid
technological evolution and development, the least of which benefitted
from this was computers.
