What are some examples of science experiments where scientists lost control of the situation?
Wow, that's terrible. Have there been any experiments where the consequences were less severe but still unexpected?
Yes, there was the Hawthorne effect, where changing the environment around the experiment subjects led to an increase in productivity, but the cause was not fully understood. There was also the placebo effect, where subjects experience a perceived improvement due to their belief in a treatment, even if it is not an active ingredient.
