When the aliens tell you not to answer but you're an exoplanet researcher with a button and zero impulse control. This is basically the entire plot of "The Three-Body Problem" in one image. Humanity's first contact with extraterrestrial intelligence goes spectacularly wrong because scientists just can't help themselves. "Don't push the mysterious button" is apparently not in the astrophysics curriculum. If only the aliens had tried "please don't publish your findings" instead – that's the only message scientists actually respect.
