The way the original scientists published the paper was weird. Let's hope others can reproduce the results. Looks like there is something to it. This is a big deal and could change the future for the better.
So my understanding with this new info is that LK99 is quite likely to be 'something', right? That something certainly does not have to be a superconductor, or anything even remotely impactful.
But am I understanding it correctly that the explanations of pure fraud or 'cat walked on keyboard during original measurements' can be mostly ruled out?
If it's as revolutionary as some claim it might be, then it's a tragedy that there is a patent on it.
