Hint: don’t believe everything you see on social media.

LK-99 has been touted as a potential room-temperature superconductor that could revolutionize fields like energy and transportation. However, many experts are skeptical as the initial research papers have not been peer-reviewed and contain inconsistencies and imprecisions. Early attempts to replicate LK-99 have had mixed results, with some samples showing signs of diamagnetism but not conclusively proving superconductivity. Even if LK-99 does turn out to be a room-temperature superconductor, significant challenges around manufacturing and engineering would remain before it could be utilized in real-world applications. Many experts believe that more incremental improvements to existing superconductors may be a more practical path forward for now.

wow, man. like, such a load of buzzkilling stuffed shirts.

when I finish work on my finite improbability generator, hook it up to a Bambleweeny 57 Sub-Meson Brain (with integrated atomic vector plotter) and fire it up with a nice hot cup of tea, these respectable physicists are definitely not invited to the party – no matter what the hostess says.

It’s like these people have never seen a Retro Encabulator. Would they even know a hydrocoptic marzelvane if it jumped up and bit them?!

Their bullshit stays outside the Dyson Sphere. Thems the rules.
