Why would another lab be manipulatable? This guy didn’t even need to get paid off:
“The video in question is allegedly from the University of Science and Technology in Beijing and purports to show a small black substance floating in the air as it follows a magnet. According to the video’s poster, he did it for “attention grabbing purposes” - it was a way to coast the hype around LK-99.” Gotta strike the iron while it’s hot.
Current analysis says lk-99 isn’t even a"good"conductor, let alone a super conductor, let alone a room temperature super conductor. I’ll hope that “this one easy to produce material has revolutionized science” gets discovered some day, but it didn’t happen last week.
