Funny and true story. When @gentleshaid mentioned you were a particle physicist a picture similar to what's below immediately appeared in my mind.
Clearly, something of this nature isn't true, but it goes to show how little one may know of someone else's occupation. Interestingly enough, someone at my job gave me a similar remark when they asked me about how I came up with trends and predictions for maintenance activities.
Hahaha :)
Don't worry, I am just a normal human being, like probably most of us :)
