This attitude deserves a name, but I haven't come up with one. It would have to be the opposite of a "sweet spot." The panel was based on that maddening phenomenon of online queries from people whose Google has apparently stopped working.

Perhaps it should be called or lmgtfy-itis (LetMeGoogleThatForYou-Itis):

https://lmgtfy.app/?q=a+thing+I+don't+know&iie=1I use lmgtfy all the time, whenever someone is too lazy to "Google a thing I don't know".

I like the lmgtfy idea, but it is a horrid collection of letters.

I read the first letter (ell) as a capital eye; thinking img... something to do with images...

EDIT, so maybe it works better in all caps: LMGTFY. Or not.

I hope none of the QM guys sees this. Another reason to start a discussion of how the wave function collapses by measurement.

Who knew that all these years there was Quantum Mechanics buried in cartoons?

So if a tree falls in a forest and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound?

Wouldn't it be Quantum Gravity?

Dirac's a chad for sure rumor says to break the ice when he met Feynman he said"I have an equation named after me, do you?"
one can only wonder what Feynman's reaction would have been to this!
