    'Science', esp if high voltage, or other sources of high energy,
     be involved, can be lethal, to anybody: 'professional', or
     'hobbyist'.

     No reboot, no 'new game'.

     Dead.

     Especially when dealing with unknowns.

    Additionally, of course, sometimes 'proof' is a bit tricky:
    interpreting the results of experiments/tests can be real
    nonobvious...
