Read the whole post (#68) for heaven's sake! I even underlined it for you! He invented the cathode.
You have a totally unscientific turn of mind and have absolutely no idea how hard it was to accomplish most of the inventions we take for granted. Even after a theory is known and understood it takes years to make a working application of most things. For example, Intel's new Itanium chip, in a well researched industry, with lots of theories known already, lots of similar applications from which to learn the do's and dont's, lots of sophisticated tools to help in the development, nevertheless took seven years and uncounted man-hours to design and develop. Your adherence to the pseudo-science of evolution, where solutions miraculously appear at random must be the reason why you insist on the silly notion that applications are created without any scientific knowledge behind them.
We've achieved some sort of symmetry. I'm thinking the same thing about you.
You must go to your search engine, pop in a word and then cut and paste whatever appears. You have no idea of the context of what you've grabbed, but its got the word you want in it, so it means what you think it means.
Now I thought we were talking about television, but you want to talk about gas discharge tubes. While its apparently true that Faraday coined the term "cathode", he did so in his work on electrolytic cells. He's not a good citation for cathode ray tubes because his work was done with gas discharge tubes and he thought he was pushing positively charged atoms. Not an easy thing to accomplish in a CRT.
But if you think Faraday's theory explains the workings of CRT's or gas discharge tubes, then explain how his theory allowed for the creation of gas discharge tubes more than 100 years before he was born. My own cut and paste:
"The concept behind neon signs was first conceived in 1675, when the French astronomer Jean Picard observed a faint glow in a mercury barometer tube. When the tube was shaken a glow called barometric light occurred, but the cause of the light (static electricity) was not then understood. "
And just so we're clear, this is not the starship captain.
