Your opening line made me laugh inappropriately. When I was in grad school in molecular biophysics, someone asked, “if I fall asleep during a talk, and wake up just in time for questions, what question can I ask, to look smart, regardless of the topic of the talk?” The answer? “What was the magnesium concentration?”

- DoofusOfDeath 6y agoI recall a similar story regarding (iirc) programming language type theory: "How does it handle recursion?"
- QuesnayJr 6y agoIn economics it's "Isn't that endogenous?"
- amelius 6y agoBetter than your concentration.
- whatshisface 6y agoIn physics, it's "is it gauge-invariant?"
