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.
