You may not know this, but "Masters" is about uncovering knowledge nobody had before, not even the professor. That's where peer reviews and shit like LK-99 happen.

It really isn't. You don't start doing properly original research until a year or two into a PhD. At best a masters project is going to be doing something like taking an existing model and applying it to an adjacent topic to the one it was designed for.
