During symmetry breaking there is less order and more chaos, and the fundamental characteristics of the universe are radically altered

Systematic error

When every experiment in the laboratory is a failure, you have to stop and reevaluate the entire plan. You ask: is this coincidence? Was my hypothesis incorrect? Or is it possible there is a common factor underlying all the experiments? Perhaps there's a contaminated or mislabeled solvent. Maybe a piece of equipment has lost its calibration. Perhaps some element of this experiment is simply bad.

During the past several years, I've conducted dozens of experiments. None with success. I am the only common factor. So what is it about me that is stalling this out? Is there something wrong with me?
