Which is why we did not have working transistors until 1948. We did not have the makings of radio until Maxwell modified Ampere's law with the displacment current term. Without the theory, there would have been no technology. We did not have atomic bombs until we had an atomic theory. All engineering technology is guided by the available theory, although some fortunate accidents may occur. The mother of modern technology is quantum field theory which is, in part, based on relativity theory. Bob Kolker
