This the guy who signed off on Meissner effect of LK-99. Citations 11k, h-index: 45.

He’s serious, NewScientist just interviewed him.

Just purchased knostr.io for my graphDB project to map the nostr network and publish visualisations of nostr’s social graph and network topography.

For me, this topographic approach is fundamentally a better path to solve discovery UX than falling back on search bars and scrolling text.

On a high pollen day there is up to 1,000 grains of pollen per m^3 of air.

Typical male will inhale and exhale 10.8m^3 per day.

That’s 10,000 grains of pollen inhaled, it doesn’t go through you digestive system but lands in the mucus in your nose, throat and lungs.

That’s a lot of genetically engineered material entering via an untested vector.

Also, if you dry your bedding outside it likely collects enormous quantities of pollen as it hangs damp in the wind. Vastly more pollen grains than you inhale. Obviously people with hay fever dry their bedding in machine driers for this reason. But most people do not.

Anyway it’s probably harmless, just seems like a potentially important health vector was missed by regulators in the Americas (lobbyists are much more powerful there than Europe or Asia).

Whenever we have high pollen counts here in the UK and you can see the airborne pollen in sunbeams between clouds, I think of this…

The Americas (North and South) is absolutely rammed with genetically modified organic material. This stuff is airborne all the time, gm food is processed and digested, but pollen is alive and inhaled.

Some math below this note.

What do you mean exactly when you say “owner”?

He owned NoThInG.

I think superconductivity disappear above 120°C.

Normal superconductors lose their superconductivity above -80°C which is why they need cryogenics.

What they have actually done (if true), is discover a material that moves the thermal cliff by 200°C and well past the conditions found at Earth surface.

I never really understood the hype around graphene because for all its great properties, it’s limited to wafer and therefore mechanically unstable, which is a fundamental preclusion for pretty much every application.

No idea what the mechanical properties of LK99 are? But it’s a bulk ceramic so I assume it’s hard and brittle? 🤷‍♂️

I want to see a Youtuber DIY it.

I’m expecting some YouTubers to be releasing videos any day now.

That’s the real court of approval in 2023.

😂

Hear me out…

Fusion powered RTSC quantum-AI flying cars.

Join our DAO for the token!

Company is called FOMO.

Yes, definitely Nobel prize scale discovery if replication is confirmed. Replication looks very easy so expect to see that happening within days.

It could be fraud, but would be a strange fraudulent claim to make over something so simple to replicate and test, you could actually buy all the kit and materials necessary off Amazon.

Also they published 2x papers. One with 6 authors and one with 3. There’s a restriction on Nobel Prize that it can’t be given to more than 3 people. So… authors seem confident. They’re also world leaders in this field of research and have a lot reputation to lose.

Will see.

Doh, forgot to crop video. Apologies to your feed.

Morning,

Not in the news today, 6 Korean researchers (or 3 if you’re Noble committee) have seemingly discovered and tested the world’s first room temperature, ambient pressure superconductor.

It’s a lead ceramic called LK-99

Now that we have one, machine learning crystallography is probably going to quickly brute force discover a number of others.

This is the sort of thing that pops up in certain newspapers all the time from clueless science reporters and is absolutely bogus, but I happen to know 3 or 4 material science guys who all independently say this is a legitimate breakthrough and is easy to replicate with a pestle and mortar and a desktop furnace.

What does zero resistance electronics mean?

It means a new generation of chips (and fabs), cold data centres, new battery technology, it takes cryogenics out of fusion, far more efficient electronics (less energy demand), stable quantum computers, maglev, list goes on and on.

It’s one of those breakthroughs that once accepted would disrupt geopolitics, as it upends industrial strategy and obsoletes trillions of dollars of infrastructure still being amortised.

There are three big physics black swans left, Shor’s algorithm, ambient SC, fusion plasma ignition.

We might see all three in relatively quick succession given ambient SC is a lock on the other two.

If your feed only contains the people you follow plus the people they follow. Then that is typically 20,000 pubkeys and no spam.

Follow the math.
