Craig,

My point was, that we were aware of x-rays. That is why we made detectors.
We are aware of everything we are aware of, and unaware of things we are
unaware of. You, of course, cannot name something you are unaware of, and
"awareness" is a human concept that resides only in humans.

Here's the story from wikipedia (see History section):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xrays

It was mostly an accident, but with

Tesla, Hertz, Rvntgen & Edison working in the area, not surprising.
