Question: Have you ever failed in an experiment?

Max de Carlos Generowicz answered on 21 Oct 2025:

Yes, absolutely! And on many different levels…

Sometimes, I’ll perform an experiment that I expect to go one way and it goes completely differently, but in a way that makes no sense! In these cases, I’ll usually review the equipment and break down the results I obtained. Usually I’ve made a silly mistake somewhere, but sometimes it’s not obvious at all and I can spend weeks scratching my head and trying to find ways to solve the problem.
