I’m not plugged into all the hype around lk99, but this person seems to be a nice balance of hype, technical background and eagerness to not be wrong about things.
They seem to make a good and simple case for why the superconductor possibility is slipping away (as far as mostly internet hype based replication attempts go)
You can start your case for skepticism from a simple examination of the synthesis process.
I think Newton had a more credible one for aurum.
Just stfu and let them examine, if this is bullshit then they will figure it out, and with extreme prejudice. In that case I wouldn’t want to be a North Korean physical chemist.
In the unlikely event that we’ve somehow witnessed a genuine divine miracle beyond the ken of Gabriel, we can deal with that later.
So if the skeptics and realists are supposed to “stfu” while others attempt to validate the findings, what should the bloggers, tweeters, skeeters, Lemmy users, and weird uncles on facebook do?
Wildly speculate whilst foaming at the mouth?
That checks out. Ok boys, pack it up. We’re done here.
Where did you get that?
Everybody is supposed to stfu.
If you have empirical data or substsntive theoretical points, feel free to speak up.
What we have now is massive armies of “skeptics” and “dreamers” screaming and drowning out actual science, welcome to being the problem.
The synthesis is stupid, but this is almost trivial to prove/disprove, they’ll be conclusive in less than a month, science can rarely be that definitive that quickly, but that’s also science working exactly how it should be.
You sitting here screaming “SKEPTICISM!!!” is moronic unless you’re waving a crucible with experimental intent.
If there is 1 massive, epic and fundamental failure with the world today it’s that people who have nothing meaningful to contribute don’t sit down and stfu while useful people do real work.
Where I got it from is your post I commented on.
That was your comment then, or you misread mine, I am constant that we need everybody to squelch their noise holes if they don’t have anything to contribute.
Leave the scientists to figure everything out, we don’t need housewives and marketing execs giving their opinions on charge carrier migration and field effects in strained lattices.
