End of Season 1 of FloatyRocks.fm (check out our website for all episodes, transcriptions, social media links and more)
Join Alex Volkov, Daniel Rosenblat and Seo Sanghyeon we we recap the counter evidence, what else to look forward to in LK99 and why we all still can be positively minded and excited despite the current evidence to the contrary.
We discussed the following things:
- CAS paper showing that phase transition for Cu2S (Copper(I) sulfide) at 400K
- @SchoopLab breakdown of the structure of LK99
- Videos on the internet not being convincing anymore
- Andrew's Varda sample had Iron impurities detected by USC
- Awana VPS concluded their piece is not superconducting (supposedly emailed w/ team)
- What we had is an incredibly global, open and most of all fast and public peer review for this new material
- Nothing of the above is a definitive NO, but the evidence to counter the claims has stacked up, and QCentre has a lot to answer to and clear things up
- There's no physical limit to RTSC so we're waiting
Also, join our twitter community for additional updates (1.1K members in less than a week!)

Here's rough list for discussion tomorrow:
- @andrewmccalip finishing his last samples, passing the torch
- Updates on failed replications from VPS Awana , Peking University
- China gov clamping down, removing videos, folks posting "so sorry" posts
- @sanxiyn update from his real time historians team, RSC vs "A New Method in the Theory of Supercondactivity" , and the deep roots of this new theory
- How is Bogolubov relates to this?
- #Kwon update with a report to the ministry of education about LK99 being hard to reproduce
- Ferromagnetism and what it is and how is it different from diamagnetism and regular... magnetism?
- UST update claims "As a result of confirming the microcrystal structure of LK-99 using X-rays for analysis, the crystal structure identified in the sample was the same as the crystal structure stated by the Quantum Energy Research Institute in the paper" https://twitter.com/altryne/status/1688969276869562368?s=20
- What else do we need to see to completely rule this out and go back to our lives

LK99 is a room temperature superconductor, or so the authors of the paper that was released abruptly on July 23 claim. The internet picked up on this news way before mass media, and I was fortunate enough to find myself in the middle of this, talking to scientists from all fields, befriending the "Russian anime catgirl" who replicated that paper first in her kitchen with 350 followers on her account, chatting with the space cowboy from Varda space and egging him on, and had the great luck to open a groupchat with all these amazing folks to collaborate on replication and understanding of this incredibly exciting new material.
I will continue to do this, here, on floaty rocks podcast, every week and as breaking news happen!
