NileRed and other Maker Channels are great to demonstrate that. In every video, there's 1 - 2 of these situations - Nile has been following some documented, established procedure which should result in a specific reaction and it looks decent to the layman - and then it just doesn't work at all. And then he re-does pretty much the same thing and it works.
I can't imagine how frustrating that can be. And then you have to do it with something you don't even know works. Kind of like dealing with obscure retro computers. Does it still work? No one knows. What does it do if it works? No one knows. Can it even function or are parts missing? That's right - no one knows.

- MichaelZuo 3y agoWell to be fair it's very difficult to nail down every possible parameter to 99.99% accuracy and precision from the original successful experiment. There's a lot of randomness even in a highly controlled, well funded, modern laboratory setting, let alone less well equipped facilities.
- whimsicalism 3y agoIt is incredibly frustrating, my experience in an experimental physics lab involved in creation of certain types of wafers for SEM characterization, there are so many things that can go wrong for certain materials. just a certain speck of dust being in the wrong place at the wrong time It is why I quit experimental physics.
- oceanplexian 3y agoAnyone who has dived into FDM 3D printing knows this pain well. Filament is too wet, the air is too cold, a batch of filament might behave wrong. Or everything goes 99% right and the axis of the moon and the constellations are off and it ruins your entire print after 57 hours. Then you start again and it breaks at 59.5 hours. I’m sure it’s not as hardcore as synthesizing superconductors but the real world is incredibly messy and imprecise.
