As we all know, some inventions and scientific discoveries have been done by scientists since the time of our civilization. Some inventions such as airplane, IC, transistor, radar, computers and laser were great and the highest level ones. How long ( years )approximately did they take to finally develop such great things after the date their creative sparks began in their minds? What do you think? I know that they vary on the situation may be 10 years or 20 years. I just want to know average years they took for these inventions. Could you help me?

Some inventions happen almost instantly, others require years of research. Believe it or not, the transistor and radar were stumbled upon while investigaing something totally unrelated.

I think it took doc only minutes to have the idea of the flux capacitor, but 30 years to develop a working model.
