Probably the most famous non-discovery in modern science was the Michelson Morley experiment, which was supposed to detect the presence of the "ether." They discovered nothing.... and from that finding, Einstein formulated his theory of Special Relativity.
Like the non-discovery of Obama's birth certificate? Or any bit of his paper trail through life?
Maybe he truly is the Messiah and is traveling along some hidden curled-up dimension that we mere mortals are denied access to?
