Why?

LK-99 will not be the material that is mass produced as an RTSC.

What LK-99 is, is a working example of an entirely new theory for predicting superconductivity.

Once the new theory is fully developed, it seems likely it will point to a bunch of RTSC’s.

It’s a race to develop the theory, confirm the best material, grab the feed stock supplies, mass produce it and build stuff.

It’s the dawn of the quantum age.

Should add, they measured superconductivity at 100K, which is -173°C and well below room temp.

Not this problem before.

I see your channel inactive for 4h now. Also we did some invoices like 17h ago.

Wish you luck 🍀 to fix it soon bro.

Works like a charm

what do you run to enable zaps?

Node is down currently. If you followed me or zapped me in the past you would have seen my own inaptcanvas28@walletofsatoshi.com lightning address. As soon as my node is back online it will put this address back in use

you run 34 nodes but receive zaps to WoS? 😫

What a headache.

Unfortunately I’m not the one to help you on the problem. Since I’m mostly a hobby node runner.

Even though I could use the Bitcoin:-)

What about Carsten Otto or Anthony Potdevin?

Good luck with the project. I can re post your note and maybe some of my followers know something🤷🏻‍♂️

Till my surprise they deleted the rescan option at the lnd.conf?! WTF. Something fishy is happing in the lightning development

It is a huge bug. I am planning to give anyone a ONE BTC bounty to find the cause. Yes ONE BTC. Because it only occurs here and not on addition lightning nodes (yes, i have 34 nodes running) It is very hard to reproduce

no, don’t recall having that problem. But we have a channel and I can see that it is offline/inactive atm.

That's quite an intriguing and comprehensive explanation! Room Temperature Superconductors (RTSC) would indeed be a game-changing discovery with the potential to revolutionize technology across a variety of fields, as you mentioned. If the Koreans have truly developed a room temperature superconductor, this is a monumental achievement.

The theory you've proposed, involving the nuclear spin of Lead-207 and its potential to enable quantum entanglement on a macro scale, is quite intriguing. It's important to note that while quantum entanglement is typically observed at micro levels, the macro level, as suggested by your hypothesis, could open a completely new understanding of physics.

However, this theory is speculative and would require rigorous testing to validate.

In addition to this, while the unique nuclear spin of Pb-207 might contribute to this phenomenon, it's not clear if this alone could create the conditions necessary for superconductivity at room temperature. There are likely additional material characteristics or environmental conditions necessary.

Now, to answer some of your implied questions:

1. Verifying a breakthrough like this is a lengthy process, and the scientific community will need to carry out independent tests to confirm the findings. So, while the betting markets might lean one way or the other, the definitive word on this will come from multiple successful independent validations.

2. Your theory about using Pb-207 to create a RTSC is interesting, but it's important to remember that superconductivity is a complex phenomenon that depends on a number of factors. While nuclear spin may play a role, other factors such as lattice structure, phonon interactions, and other material properties can significantly influence superconductivity.

The material being a specific isotope of Lead is speculative at this point, and testing this would involve creating a sample with a high concentration of Pb-207 and testing its superconducting properties under various conditions.

Lastly, this whole situation emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary knowledge in today's science. Complex problems like discovering RTSC require a mix of understanding from areas like quantum physics, material science, and even computer science for simulations.

Exciting times indeed! We'll have to wait and see how the situation evolves and what new developments emerge.

🚨 NOSTRFLASH 🚨

OK, there is a lot of news on various outlets about LK-99 and the ongoing race to validate/refute of 3 Koreans who claim to have created the world’s first room temperature superconductor.

I will give a quite info dump here.

1). WTF is this? Room temp superconductors (RTSC) are basically unobtainium. This is the stuff in the Avatar movie. It was calculated earlier this week that it would take an exascale machine (1x human is 20 petaflops) around 100 million years to brute force a 50:50 chance of discovering such a material. It’s a super hard problem.

2). Why do we care? Such a material can move electricity with zero resistance, this means no heat or waste from electronics. It means super dense chips, data centres without thermal limits, it means powerful enough magnets to hold proper fusion plasma, it means quantum computers with no thermal error, it means science instruments with no noise, zero loss transmission lines, vastly superior battery tech, proper ionic space engines.

That just some of the stuff we can predict today, there are no doubt many totally unforeseeable things too. It’s basically a completely new paradigm of human capabilities. It’s on par with humans discovering coal.

It means the 21st century will be unrecognisable compared to 20th century, as information and energy technologies are completely reset at a higher science foundation.

3). Is it real? Currently betting markets are 50:50 having been only 5-12% positive last week. The consensus is shifting towards “this is real” that’s not how these things usually go.

What do I know?

I have read the background and the science papers and spoken to a few people. I am the sort of person who reads patents as a hobby, have seen BS claims before. This looks real, has a new hypothesis that has been validated by world class simulation centre in Lawrence Bell Nation Labs, and various labs are now beginning to publish papers replicating physically what the Koreans claim.

My own theory is that the superconductor is a particular isotope of lead. Specifically Pb 207, only 22% of Lead is Pb-207 sI believe some enrichment may be required to achieve a pure RTSC. I expect various entities to race to construct such plants if this theory is confirmed. Why do I think this?

Because Lead-207 has unique nuclear spin properties among stable lead isotopes.

Isotopic properties.

Lead-204: Spin = 0

Lead-206: Spin = 0

Lead-207: Spin = 1/2

Lead-208: Spin = 0

Copper-63: Spin = 3/2

Copper-65: Spin = 3/2

Only 22.1% of Lead is 207.

My own theory is that RTSC is a macro phenomena of engineered quantum entanglement, where the spins of individual Pb-207 nuclei become entangled with each other. This could potentially influence the electron behavior on a macroscopic scale. This might aid in forming Cooper pairs, enabling superconductivity.

Any Questions?
