Meissner effect or bust: Day 8.5 We made the rocks

How Long? GOSPEL ⏰ 9000 BC 🇬🇷Magnesia, Greece - an old shaman communes with a speck of floating dust, a small window into an unknown universe ⏰ 1675 🇬🇧Cambridge, England - Isaac Newton, gets nerdswiped. “The last of the magicians” tries to steal from ancient magical tomes. The two oldest elements in the book, Copper and Lead, mixed over and over again from crucible into furnace. ⏰ 1944 🇨🇭 Zurich, Switzerland - Just before D-Day, Psychiatrist Carl Jung delves into the ancient manuscripts of alchemy, now reduced to records of the madness of their authors. He ponders humanity’s collective unconscious obsession with mixing things together and burning them, especially Lead, Copper and Gold. ⏰1991 🇨🇳Sichuan, China - Feng Jingsong, on his off days as a maintenance technician for the Hydropower Bureau, fabricates… something He files a patent for a superconductor. His tells his colleagues, who laugh off what he shows them as a magic trick, fails to replicate the manufacture, and dies of lead poisoning five years later. ⏰2017 🇺🇸Maryland, US Naval Air Station Patuxent River - Salvatore Pais files a patent for a "piezoelectricity-induced room temperature superconductor”, Redditors in 2023 identify this and four others as UFO patents. Later JH Kim and Qcenter’s cite this one as prior art. ⏰2020 🇰🇷Seoul, South Korea - Qcenter - JH Kim, bumps his elbow against his desk, cracking the quartz capsule holding the lead-copper mixture at 925 °C, as it exits the furnace. The “first” magical floating rock has been created. ⏰2023 July 22, Sat 2.30 am PST JH Kwon Arxiv Paper Drop ⏰2023, July 29 Sat 🇷🇺Internet, Russia - Soil scientist/anime catgirl Iris, curses materials chemist JH Kim’s description of the synthesis. Crystals are grown like plants you idiot. She improves on the process, increasing the yield tenfold, and decreasing the time from 4 days to 18 hours. The only people who believe her are fellow degenerate Internet dopamine addicts who know the difference between doing it for the lulz and a LARP. ⏰2023, July 31, Mon 4pm PST 🇨🇳Bilibili, Chinese Youtube, anon account posts a video of a floating rock, to a backtrack of a dry academic lecture in Putonghua. The lack of attribution makes it a little sus. But the Firewalled Great Horde has exploded over LK99, with over 420 million comments on Chinese twitter since the Arxiv paper drop. It takes 12 more hours before Huazhong University allows Prof Haixin Chang and his grad students to stake the first academic replication claim. ⏰2023, August 1, Tuesday 💻 internet - Arxiv - the Paul Ginsparg founded former astrophysics preprint server releases in quick succession 2 dueling papers, one from Sinead Griffin at Lawrence Berkeley National Labs, the other from Shenyang University in China. Griffin identifies that the Copper has to be precisely placed into the right location on the Lead matrix to really work. She predicts an extremely difficult manufacture, working inconsistently and unpredictably. Shenyang matches her work, but predicts substituting the Copper with Gold will work as well. Both use giant universe prediction supercomputers to delve into the precise mathematical location of tiny atoms the size of a pin in the solar system, that JH Kim has placed through 8,000 attempts in over a decade with his bare hands.
