That guy, Alex Kaplan, is Dunning-Kruger personified. His qualifications are being a "Head of Coffee Product" in a shitty startup that produces coffee capsules and a bachelor's degree in physics. He also was an intern in CERN for two months. A true subject-matter expert, lmao.
He's been tweeting about LK99 non-stop, flip-floping from "it's the biggest discovery of my lifetime" to "it's over" every 5 minutes.
I don't understand why he's getting so much attention.

Dunning Krugerites are the only people who can change the world. They are the true chad midwits who rise above the rest. All of civilization rests on their laurels.

So he's the equivalent of people who interned or did a summer study with Google plastering their "employment" at Google over their resumes to ride on the reputation.

He's the first c*nt with a big Twitter following to live-tweet every update. He serves a useful niche in the social media habitat, like a parasite that boosts attention, but often grows too insufferable with the attention to serve usefukky.

So let me get this straight, the generally accepted opinion based on theoretical research in the field of sheldon cooper science was that whatever these gooks were amateurishly trying to create - simply said - impossible. Now that they have delivered a practical solution to a task that has been considered impossible for years by combining arbitrary arrangements of elements just for shits and giggles, theoretical physicists found a possible explanation for why this could possibly work ... in a week? IN A FRICKING WEEK?

P != NP
It's easier to verify a solution once the space has been vastly narrowed. This is exactly why experimentation is important in the first place.

There is probably no more single romantic example of the distance between 0 and 1 being infinitely greater than the distance between 1 and infinity than P = NP.

Reminds me of a woman whose husband died and she had multiple mental breakdowns about leaving the iron on at home.
Someone recommended her to just keep the iron in the car, she did it and it pretty much fixed all the issues she had, psychologists and psychiatrists went BIG MAD because it's not how le science says you are supposed to do it.

Why is suddenly everyone and their grandmother coming out with a superconductor these days? It all seems like a massive grift at this point. You give a man a mile, and now a bunch of filthy bums unrelated to the first guy come out with their fancy dandy superconductors outta nowhere. all seems a bit convenient no?

I remember seeing these band structure graphs in undergrad but for the life of me I never understood wtf they mean.
I think a conductor needs the bands to cross the Fermi energy threshold? And for multiatomic materials you need more of those bands?![:marseyexcited: :marseyexcited:](https://i.rdrama.net/e/marseyexcited.webp)
