This is likely to be less important than it really is.
It reminds me of the "new state of matter discovered" kinds of articles that are known to get clicks.

And also the "vantablack" fad:

Basically, any potential discovery that can barely fit the "new kind of..." usually sounds more impressive than it really is.
This article is full of it.
I'm a programmer with very basic knowledge of magnetism, so, I can't say for sure what the discovery means, or if it is a discovery at all.
- echelon_musk 1y ago> I'm a programmer with very basic knowledge of magnetism, so, I can't say for sure what the discovery means, or if it is a discovery at all. Perhaps you should have lead with this.
- alganet 1y agoI haven't said anything about magnetism. Read my comment again.
- godelski 1y agoI read it, and I don't know where it implies you know anything about states of matter or material physics. I also read the response, and it seems to be more general than you give credit. Allow me to interpret. "You probably shouldn't have strong opinions on things you don't have a strong expertise in."
- alganet 1y agoDuh, it implies I don't know about magnetism, which is something I stated. What it tries to do is to provoke me to impostor my way into searching about magnetism and then repeating something that I read. And it failed at that. I'm not here to display any prowess in physics knowledge.
- godelski 1y agoWait, you think the article is supposed to do that? Have you considered you're not the audience?
