A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
No, they fucking shouldn't

Edit: neither of us are right, EM waves in vacuum do travel in phase but in conductors, there is a phase difference between 0° (very high resistance) and 45° (superconductor). So yeah, EM waves can "tell" they're in a dummy load.
