Someone posted this in a comment on another post of LK-99: Wouldn't the first step be verification before replication? I.e. have the original authors send out some LK-99 samples to other researchers to at least confirm "Yes, this thing is a high temperature superconductor". Wouldn't matter even that much if it were made with unicorn dust: it would be proof that high temperature superconductors are even possible, which is itself a huge, huge deal.
After that replication of production of LK-99 would of course be critical, but just proving it exists should alone be enough for grand celebration.
- xtracto 3y agoThis LK99 thing all sounds to me very similar to the Podkletnov Gravity Shielding experiments of the 1990s . There may be something, but the mainstreet media is blowing it out of proportions. Some scientists may get hurt for this.
- postalrat 3y agoI haven't seen much of anything on the mainstream media. Just here in hn and other tech sites. Are you making this up?
- TillE 3y agoBecause unless all current replication attempts fail, it would be totally pointless. I know we're all eager for news, but there's no urgent need to verify the claims. That's not how science works. Give it a couple weeks.
