(I am very much a layperson) So does this mean that the videos that showed LK-99 hovering but not rotating are fake? Or can you have that static hover effect w

  > In the video, the same edge of the sample seemed to stick to the magnet, and it seemed delicately balanced. By contrast, superconductors that levitate over magnets can be spun and even held upside-down. “None of those behaviors look like what we see in the LK-99 videos,” van Gennep says. > He thought LK-99’s properties were more likely the result of ferromagnetism. So he constructed a pellet of compressed graphite shavings with iron filings glued to it. A video made by Van Gennep shows that his disc — made of non-superconducting, ferromagnetic materials — mimicked LK-99’s behaviour.

    That explains the half levitation A few videos came out of full levitation, but it's pretty certain they are fake
