19. William Henry Smyth, a Californian, is usually credited with inventing the
word X in 1919 to describe "the rule of the people made effective through
the agency of their servants, the scientists and engineers", although the
word had been used before on several occasions. Smyth used the term X
in his 1919 article "âX'âWays and Means to Gain Industrial Democracy,"
in the journal Industrial Management.
X is a proposed system of governance where decision-makers are selected
on the basis of their expertise in their areas of responsibility, particularly
scientific knowledge. This system explicitly contrasts with the notion that
elected representatives should be the primary decision-makers in
government.
Give me X which means skill and power all together?

22. DuPont scientist, Dr. Roy Plunkett, accidentally created the
recipe for X in 1938, while attempting to produce a better
coolant gas than the one currently on the market. In doing so,
he tried with different combinations of gases and left one batch
of gases in a container overnight. The following morning, he
found that the gases in the container had âvaporized,â and in
their stead, found a slippery, waxy solid, which remained intact
when exposed to corrosive chemicals which normally eat
through things with which they come into contact.
