Apparently the theory behind LK-99 was inspired by the studies from Eastern European scientists. However, after the Soviet collapse, the study was lost.

- mrtksn 3y agovery interesting, is there a an article about it?
- Painsawman123 3y agonot an article, but there's a tweet (yeah oftentimes Twitter can be useful :) ): https://nitter.net/sanxiyn/status/1686782919178911744 https://nitter.net/sanxiyn/status/1686782919178911744
- katrotz 3y agoI found it extremely entertaining to follow the twitter epopeea around Lk99 topic. Apparently the Iris posts were not just empty words and trolling.

- paulmd 3y agonationalism/patriotism is gross, except for the people who happened to be born in the same country/political system/religion as myself
- Vicinity9635 3y agoCheeky, but isn't nationalism/patriotism just rational self interest? Why wouldn't I want the system I pay taxes into to put me and other people in this boat first? I like this definition, personally: “Patriotism is supporting your country all the time and your government when it deserves it.” ― Mark Twain
- ido 3y agoIt is rational self interest, but self interest beyond a point is selfish, which is generally considered a negative personality trait. If you want to put it in game theory perspective, normalizing selfish behavior means that when you could benefit from something in another country but won’t you’ll be the one suffering discrimination. If we can reach agreements international cooperation can benefit all parties better than the greedy solution.
- rtsil 3y agoThe twitter thread linked below says that it was an independent discovery and the Korean professor was not aware of the prior knowledge until after the discovery, so it's not inspired as much as parallel development.
