LK-99 and the UFO hearings have just tanked my already low opinion of so many communities. I know that no matter the field or the training people are susceptible to being overly excited when they're ignorant on a subject, but god it bothers me how much trivial research (ESPECIALLY on the UFO issue) should at least temper expectations if not outright make people more skeptical. I figured places like HN would be better for that, although not much. Sure seems about the same as the rest of the web. It's just gossip rags for techy people. What kills me is that LK-99 might actually be a room temp superconductor, but that doesn't mean the straight out crazy beliefs and behaviors were. |

I've been trying really hard to keep an even keel but your point is absolutely valid and I'm in equal parts annoyed by people that categorically reject it and by people that blindly accept it. Science just doesn't work that way, you need to be patient and do the work. But I do hope that it works out, and as a fall back position that it turns out that it works out as a superconductor but not one with practical use. Because that would still open the floodgates for the funding that would either create a RT(AP)S or rule out that one is possible to a very high degree of certainty.
