Honestly, I feel bad for the original authors, who were correctly holding out for stronger evidence but were forced into publishing early by the actions of a third party going behind their backs.
I hope they don't experience undue blowback because of this.
- mi_lk 3y agoI'm not aware of it, anything to read about the said third party?
- zulban 3y agoI suspect the third party is the one that will mostly suffer the career consequences.
- Gud 3y agoFor sure! The original researchers showed remarkable restraint considering what they were potentially sitting on. Kudos to them!
- KaoruAoiShiho 3y agoI think the story might be more complicated than that, I remember reading that the "third party" was the one paying the bills for the experiment so pushing it out early and even publicly failing would've been preferable to getting it dragged out infinitely for an unlikely hope of it being successful.
- hgsgm 3y agoThis funder-rushed science exactly what created Doc Ock and the Green Goblin.
- pnt12 3y agoNow I'm even more disappointed in the outcome!
- gundamdoubleO 3y agoThey both had some pretty ground breaking technology to be fair
- hennell 3y agoIs this the origin of "semi-magnetic-man"?
- mgfist 3y agoYet we're all the better for it happening. Even for the original researchers - maybe it would've taken them another 10 years to get to a similar conclusion. Now, they can take the next step and not waste more time.
- polishdude20 3y agoSeems like this followed the same rule of internet answers: Ask a question and you'll get crickets. Answer a question wrong and you'll get tonnes of people telling you the right answer.
- nannal 3y agoYeah, the power of Randlow's law cannot be understated.
- nbgoodall 3y agoEurgh I actually Googled that, well played.
- SebJansen 3y agoyes, Steven's law has such utility
- explaininjs 3y agoDo I read it correctly that doubling the amount of current through your fingers feels like 10x’ing it? If so… shocking. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stevens's_power_law https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stevens's_power_law
- bilater 3y agoomg I love this
- ignite 3y agoThis was great science. Hypothesis, test, and attempted confirmation. Too bad it's not superconducting, but the process worked the way it is supposed to.
- themagician 3y agoThe question is whether or not the original authors were pawns or part of the scam.
- avereveard 3y agoI wonder why it was so difficult for the original authors to get a pure sample, it's not like it took 10 years to create these larger crystsal.
- m3kw9 3y agoThis gives them an out actually
