So my supervisor is telling me to exclude my experimental results and substitute them with fictional simulated results for this paper I'm about to publish. He doesn't want me to write a paper in a "negative tone" implying failure of the experimental process.
What do Veeky Forums? He's fairly influential so I can't exactly report him without getting my career destroyed.

Just do what you are told, dummy dumb dumb. Don't live the illusion of academia. You think that your paper matters and if you publish false results then in 10 days it will be used in 500 papers and then in a startup and then society will collapse but the reality is that the only people who will read it are the people who know it is wrong, you and your supervisor. Nobody gives a shit about your paper. Just publish it, get your PhD and then let your first shitty paper fade into obscurity. Nobody reads fucking dissertations, why do you think they have to force the people on top in your department to read them. If they don't then nobody will.
>He's fairly influential so I can't exactly report him without getting my career destroyed.
Sure you can, email him with your concerns and try and get something incriminating, then report him to your head of school. If you just go a head with it and you get exposed who do you think is going to get the blame?
Record him secretly and fuck his shit.
this is why the government shouldnt be involved in science
I thought this too but I'm worried whether this could come back to bite me if the paper somehow is influential?
I don't think you understand. If i rat out my supervisor then if I apply for a job anywhere I will always be known as a snitch and won't get hired.
>Nobody reads fucking dissertations
from what I've seen most are too lazy to read 10 page papers so pretty much this
>This is why math is the only science.
Fixed.
do you want to live an honest life or a successful one?

Surely someone values someone with a good ethical compass, unless you're Indian.
