<UmbralRaptop> egg: does this mean that the sun could be eclipsed by a cat?
<SnoopJeDi> UmbralRaptop, hm, I have "connections" at LBL/SLAC in the sense that I know people there, but nothing that is I think appropriate for that person :(
<SnoopJeDi> (I mostly know theory weenies)

<SnoopJeDi> I was tempted to tell them to reach out to our local cyclotron (which does a TON of spallation for aerospace stress testing), but I assume they said LBL/SLAC mostly because of location.
<SnoopJeDi> ...and probably would be more expensive anyway, because your financial competitors for beamtime are mostly defense contractors? lol
<SnoopJeDi> no black helicopters, but they definitely get touchy about anybody going close to the "SEE line"

<B787_300> egg: but that is exposing my stupidity to my advisor

<SnoopJeDi> stupidity is a scientific virtue
* raptop is missing some conteggst. (moreso for B787_300's comment)
<kmath> <johnregehr> are my students listening here https://t.co/XgCEy1ci7E
<raptop> ah
<B787_300> i am not so sure about that SnoopJeDi
<raptop> Uh, your advisor should be fine with you not knowing things as long as dKnowledge/dt is reasonably positive.
<B787_300> yes but how do you know what value is reasonable to him/her
<SnoopJeDi> ask
<SnoopJeDi> in science, I've seen far more damage done by the fear of admitting ignorance (or the desire to appear "smart") than I have by an honest "I do not know"
