    You forgot to mention the source of this info on lk 99 is coming from Russian and Chinese sources… and in the current climate they don’t have truckloads of credibility

      Hey, you guys need to get out of the echo chamber every now and then. Originally discovered from a south Korean team. The experiment has been replicated by US, Chinese and Russian teams.

      I’m very team skeptical, but I also like to celebrate good news and by itself. This is good news, is sort of the spirit of OP post. Once this gets out the lab what are the possibilities

        Were all the replications successful? I’d heard the Chinese team claimed success but didn’t show proof, the Russian team claimed their results were negative but there was supposedly evidence that they’d used the wrong material (I’m not a scientist, just repeating what I’ve read) and I hadn’t heard anything about a US team replicating it in a lab (I’d heard there were simulations, but no lab results from US teams). Is there new info that I’ve missed? The fact that some simulations show similar results to the original paper makes me hopeful, but again, those are just simulations.

      scientific discoveries really shouldn’t be determined as good or bad based on who discovered it.

      not like a superconductor can spy on you lmao
