But why? What function is so important that it necessitates a button on the control panel, yet so dangerous that it should not be activated? Is it actually dangerous? Perhaps it turns the centrifuge into a Moon rocket? Perhaps it is something completely mundane, like a fast freeze or rapid brake function, that happens to be broken on this machine.

About the Rat

Black Knight is interested in the interaction of science (as a day job and as a way of thinking) with his family, the wider community and literature. And tormenting students. Frequently polemical, sometimes serious, and hopefully always entertaining more
