gollark: An important recentish discovery: blue LEDs. Those require exotic materials of some kind, as far as I know, and like all semiconductory stuff large amounts of complex machinery to produce them.
gollark: Is everyone just supposed to have precision manufacturing equipment so they can all try out new inventions randomly?
gollark: Are you just meant to have a basement operation doing highly advanced chemical synthesis or something for, say, new drug testing?
gollark: Also, many modern discoveries are basically impossible without stuff like "laboratories" and "full-time scientists" and supply chains providing the stuff they need.
