So electrons did not exist until Rutherford. And even so, in a primitive form. Electrons had to wait in the limb of partial existent things until Millican said: Let´s give mass to the Electron. And the electrons existed happily since then.. Only for the people aware of the pattern creation.

Existence is relative to theory. So electrons existed before Millican and protons existed after Gell-Mann showed they were made of quarks. Just as the Moon exists after we discovered atoms.

Who knows how many things are waiting to become into the "existence" this way. That is not a good definition of existence for me.
