Maybe. We’ll have to see. But if it’s true that’s a lot of power not being turned into useless heat. So what do you folks think, reality or hoax?
Just listening to an impressive talk of one of the coauthors of the room-temperature superconductor #LK99 at Korea university, Young-Wan Kwon. Just one of the great experiences of the MML2023 conference in Seoul. #MML23 pic.twitter.com/LAZNMwy4we

Like flying cars and fusion power, this sounds like the same, old, braggidotio. I’m not from Missouri, but show me, anyhow. Many have claimed it but no one has been able to reproduce it.
It does seem to be unobtainium. But I’d love to be mistaken.
Me, too.
I wouldn’t want flying cars though because we slaughter ourselves too much in merely two dimensions. Add a hundred thousand more flying objects every day and the carnage would be incredible.
It would get complicated. Within the confines of congested areas maybe some kind of traffic control would override the driver.
Larry Niven solved this problem in his Known Space Universe stories. Flying cars were mostly under mandatory computer control. Manually flying a car over a populated area would get you sent to the Organ Banks.
George Jetson harvested for his organs because he was speeding while going to transport his boy Elroy, daughter Judy or Jane his wife? Well, if that’s the rules he signed up for.
From Wikipedia:
As of July 2023, the experiment has not been replicated, despite the initial experiments being completed in 2020.
Hmmmmmmmm.
Watcha been doin for 3 years?
So, you’re saying it fails the smell test. Well, I guess when the popular press and Congress are busy talking about UFOs it must really be the silly season.
I’m saying that If I had developed a room temperature super conductor, I’d be sending samples to anyone who wanted them so they could back verify my results.
(After I patented the hell out of it.)
I sure wouldn’t be sitting on it.
So – yes. It is the silly season.
I’ve figured it out. The UFO aliens are using their “mind power” to keep us from capitalizing on room temperature superconductivity. All the pieces fit.
Now I just have to get a local contactor to replace all the copper in my house wiring with Pb10-xCux(PO4)6O. What could be easier?
