I'm resigned to disappointment for this. It's the modern days Pons and Fleischmann.
Hopefully the lack of confirmation so far is due to people checking, double checking and triple checking, along with a healthy dose of "we don't want to be tarred with the same brush".
- echelon 3y agoReminds me of EmDrive. That was such a tease and then utter disappointment. Hope LK-99 doesn't go the same way.
- zarzavat 3y agoThe similarities are only superficial. A reactionless drive would violate the most fundamental physical laws. Whereas room temperature/pressure superconductors are not believed to violate any physical law. If you asked “Will we find such a material this century?”, the answer would be a solid maybe. Which end of the century, who knows. It’s more like proofs of the Riemann Hypothesis. Most mathematicians believe that RH is probably true, or at least hope so, but any claimed proof is viewed with extreme suspicion merely because of the sheer number of false ones.
