- nemo44x 3y agoThat's extremely hilarious if real. He basically just told the guys at the Max Plank institute they're lazy theoreticians that don't understand chemistry and can't be bothered to put in the work like he has. (over 100 attempts at making this!)
- colechristensen 3y agoThis is a great kind of rivalry between theory folks and applied folks. When good natured it can be a lot of fun. It’s also important to have these two kinds of groups annoyed with each other poking holes in each others methods.
- Exuma 3y agowow, this is the kind of content I'm here for!
- bluerooibos 3y agoSo it took them 1000 times to get a good result from this experiment over 19 years, and two steps in the process require a stroke of luck? That doesn't inspire confidence.
- Affric 3y agoHave you ever had a difficult goal? It's learning a craft, constant refinement, iteration, failure, and eventual success. And then luck, that which is out of your control, gets you over the line. I am more likely to believe that the group to get room temperature superconductivity first (if anyone ever does) will have been learning the hard way about how to maximise that within their control so all that is left to succeed is that outside their control. I am not saying that I am 100% sold on this being it. It's not 20 years of failure. It's 20 years of refinement.
