This is sad man. You’re getting excited at manufactured hype on twitter
- Xeamek 3y agoOn the contrary. Should he rather be excited about hype manufactured by entertainment or sport companies? Cause that's much more common.
- aqme28 3y agoWhat makes this hype "manufactured"? I've been very hyped as well ever since I read the arxiv.
- Mistletoe 3y agoWell it isn’t peer reviewed for one. I don’t think people that are a little skeptical are being negative they are just being realistic. We’ve experienced things like this before and some of the hallmarks of the ones that let us down are there in this one. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pathological_science https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pathological_science
- gizmondo 3y agoIt has been peer reviewed - lots of scientists reviewed the paper, found various problems, some are trying to replicate it with varying success so far, some are looking for theoretical explanation. This is the essence of science, not sending it to some journal that just mails the article to the small subset of the same scientists and gather their replies. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cargo_cult https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cargo_cult
- Mistletoe 3y agoThat’s not peer review lol and real peer review is the opposite of cargo cult.
- soVeryTired 3y agoI think it's the videos of levitating samples that people are getting excited about. At this point it's either outright fraud (unlikely), an interesting materials science discovery that isn't superconductivity (most likely IMO), or superconductivity itself (still unlikely, but the balance of evidence is shifting). If it happens to be the latter, it's a huge scientific leap forward.
