so...can you send me 21 of those measurements that dont exist?

just to check 😁

Transistors are semiconductor switches. So no, that’s not how superconductors work. Superconductors use a Josephson Junction.

Semiconductors get hot and break down if you run them too fast, they age. RTSC’s do not have these limits.

We wont use LK-99, we will probably find a dozen RTSC’s by xmas. People are already looking past LK-99 for better ones.

last question then (thanks already in clearing some of my doubts)

silica transistors are about to become old tech?

how would rtsc affect the current tech? is lithography becoming old tech?

is tsmc with their current billions of dollars worth of tech in a position where they need to reinvent themselves (in a few decades) or is their expertise transferrable to the new materials?

It’s not lead it’s LK-99.

Lead is one of the elements and I talk about a specific isotope of a specific element of the material.

The superconductor equivalent of a transistor is called a Josephson Junction. A Josephson Junction is a thin layer of insulating material placed between two superconducting materials. It can switch on and off, or exhibit various states of resistance, much like a semiconductor switch, but with near zero energy loss and very fast switching speeds. This makes it ideal for certain applications like quantum computing.

It allows for chips that generate zero heat.

Overheating is the limiting factor for CPU’s. It your CPU generating zero heat, it could be overclocked to a fantastic speed.

eg 100x faster.

understood but i think my core question remains

is there any usage of this type of material in a current generation chip?

might come out as a dumb question, "prototype material on a current gen system, are you stupid?"

i mean, gasoline is used in several different generations of engine, as an analogy, is there a material that would have physical properties similar to LK99 that has ever been paired to a silica chip?

which process was used to create that

my thought process is, carbon nanotubes are a mega advancement in material science, usage is still very limited due to how hard it is to manufacture in a usable state, is that something you would consider as a problem for LK99, its a mega material but manifacturing is very hard and manufacturing in a usable manner even harder

i hope i dont come out as too dumb 🤤

🚨 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?

bitfox 🦊⚡ 2y ago

how is this material paired with semiconductors to create the chips you mentioned (very dense ones)

current lithography machines use silica wafers, can this lead be placed inside a silica wafer with a coating and a lithography machine?

is there any example of lithography with lead?

no, im saying 100$ is losable money for westernairs, and that will likely not break the bank

cant really say that on africa, south america and alot of asia

i didnt say the tech was free (or should be, it shouldn't), having eth to stake or having hardware to mine POW is a requirement, both have pre requisites => this is good

Actually, it's funny for me to see "Bitcoiners" go bananas when they use "Lightning" as its core technology even though it's useless for most of people becuase they need BTC first to even receive it. Thanks to that feature, most of people use Lightning wallet in a cutodial manner!

Literally, it's the same move as Roger Ver, and now we got Ordinals, we got to face the same blocksize problem and all that, it's damn hilarious they all used to "hate" all of those type of things.

I think Ordinals make sense more than Bitcoin Lightning they wanna solve the problem more natively.

bitfox 🦊⚡ 2y ago

that is true, LN is not on BTC main chain

similar polygon and several other L2s

let me put a few things straight

"there is no second best" is true, there is no other savings tech in crypto

you can grow your savings stack using other crypto

you are free to play the crypto game, you need to be a bit lucky to win but there are gains to be gained playing the btc/crypto game

would I rather have $10k in btc or any other crypto for 10 years and not be anlr to trade it? btc for sure

i think im not your usual maxi, i understand gambling is fun but i dont mix saving tech (btc) with gambling tech (crypto)

you can do whatever, but i think its hard to argue against that

🫂

a couple notes i would add

100$ in a costodial LN wallet isnt a big deal, for anyone on a western country

the only BTC i have that i dont custody is on my LN wallet

ordinals havent proven value yet (and they are quite recent)

NFTs arent new, they have no proven value yet...other than speculation on monkey images and other pfp stuff

i will wait for the utility that ordinals can add because for now, NFTs, not specifically ordinals, none of them have proven utility

agree, but does eth offer "freedom" in its purest form?

POS will never be as freedom representing as POW

the exchanges can have as much btc as they want, they wont be able to censor btc transactions

can that be said about POS and ETH?

im not hating, is questioning the same as hating now?

lightning solves the payments tps it has utility, so i am not sure what do you mean when you say lightning is useless for most people. anyone that "accepts bitcoin payments" is using lightning

what is the use case for nfts right now?

and dont take this as hating, im not hating

i just dont start clapping to a new feature just because it exists

its not a with or against us type of topic, it needs to have utility before it gets applauds, do you agree with that at least?
