I can give you historical examples, yes.
Try... everything ever proven in the history of science, ever.
Before anything and everything was proven, there were periods when there was no evidence of it.

This IS delicious...

Nature?
You're kidding right?
How about just substituting REALITY?
You reference, to a 'word', is to an abstract concept,
NOT anything approaching real, as in existence, as in germane to what is being discussed...

The first is are there any source docs somehow put together hypothesizing about the nature of various generators, cannons, etc and the mechanics of what is at play. (There are numerous parallal analogies in electronic components, other 'generators', etc). This is real basic research (as you can see ).

No one was looking for Neptune until the means to do so were available. It was predicted to exist by the observance of other planets. Five days after the prediction it was found because they knew where to look for it.
...you're already deflecting from the point I was trying to make to you, that science doesn't just automatically know all of these things instantly. Evidence did not always exist for these things. There were times when there was no evidence, for anyone on the Earth. And yet, they still managed to exist. That is what you were apparently incapable of understanding, and I hope now maybe you have remembered this basic bit of common sense.
This is why argument from ignorance is a fallacy. Just because you don't have evidence yet, doesn't mean you never will. And that, is why claiming they don't exist is no more scientific than claiming that they do at this point in time. Unless you can prove a negative, but obviously you can't, and no one expects you to.
Contrails are known to exist. The means exists to prove the existence of "chemtrails". Yet, in 20 years no one has managed to do so. No one has managed to produce any evidence of them. Why is that? No science.
