Your visiting a laboratory that's known to work on various defence contracts. The assistant showing you around takes you to a small room off the main corridor not far from their break room. They ask you to wait there while they just go retrieve their pen from their workstation which happens to be behind an elevated security level where you currently aren't allowed. They say they'll only be five minutes and walk from the room.
In the room you see a couple of seats clearly sat next to each other with a viewing screen in front. In front of the screen is a large red push button with the words "Warning: Do not press. Will destroy the world." written on a large and clearly visible sign. Next to the seats is a small electronics table with some extremely detailed schematics and a few electronics tools which were likely used to assemble the button.
As you sit their waiting for the assistant, (Who's timekeeping incidentally seems to be deplorable, as 10 minutes later they still have returned) you query what you should do?
(Leaving isn't an option, the assistant will return in time.)
What would you do?
(offtopic: This isn't apart of any mainstream experiment, it's something I thought might be entertaining and currently exclusive to this forum only.)
