“This is insanely bullish for humanity.”

These (could) change everything.

While everybody’s talking about Barbie and Oppenheimer, the growing Hunter Biden scandal or the latest Trump indictment, it’s amazing how few people are actually aware of a couple of developments that could dramatically change the world we live in.

I’m talking about limitless energy and interstellar space travel. And more.

I know I’m susceptible to a burst of hyperbole on occasion, but this isn’t one of those times. The fact is, two completely unrelated events have the potential, if proven real, to completely transform the human experience.
 

The first event: Aliens among us.

On July 26, three individuals, two former Navy pilots and a former “U.S. intelligence official,” testified before Congress that aliens exist.
 

Now, we’ve had similar testimony over the past couple of years from pilots of encounters with UFOs (now called UAPs, or “unidentified aerial phenomena”), including some dramatic video evidence. The two pilots essentially repeated these claims with their individual stories of UAP encounters.
 

It was the testimony from David Grusch, the former intelligence official, that covered compelling new ground. He stated that he is “absolutely” certain that a secretive U.S. government program has acquired not only UFOs/UAPs, but is in possession of “nonhuman biologics.”
 

In other words, aliens.

Consider the implications if this is true. It not only means humans are not alone in the universe, but also likely that, given the immense distances involved, that faster-than-light, interstellar travel is possible.
 

Of course, this would violate the laws of physics as currently understood. The only other option would be an alien race that is extremely long-lived. As in thousands of years.
 

The other, more likely option is that all of this is a crock of bull. And in fact, I’m much more skeptical about Grusch’s testimony than I am regarding the second big development...
 

The second event: A room-temperature superconductor.
 

Now, the discovery of a superconductor might not sound as exciting as finding aliens among us, but it not only would be nearly as important...it’s probably more likely to be real.
 

Allow me to bring you up to speed....

On July 22, three Korean scientists, Sukbae Lee, Ji-Hoon Kim and Young-Wan Kwon (“LKK”), submitted a paper describing their discovery of a room-temperature, ambient-pressure superconducting material, dubbed “LK-99.”

As they described it in the opening sentence of the paper’s abstract, “For the first time in the world, we succeeded in synthesizing the room-temperature superconductor (Tc≥400 K, 127∘C) working at ambient pressure with a modified lead-apatite (LK-99) structure.”
 

Interestingly, this structure doesn’t use exotic materials, and essentially is the result of copper atoms percolating into a crystal and replacing lead atoms. While manufacturing the material at scale might prove difficult, the fundamental building blocks are anything but rare.
 

The news of this development didn’t rock the world, and in fact was greeted with appropriate skepticism thanks partly to some errors and rough, draft-level presentations in their paper...and frankly to the outlandishness of their claims.
 

Still, the importance of such a discovery piqued some interest. After all, a room-temp/ambient pressure superconductor would allow the development of limitless fusion energy, the super-efficient transmission of said energy and the engineering of these technologies through desktop quantum computers. And that’s not to mention cool stuff like mag-lev transportation.

In short, it would completely transform the world.

So a few scientists, along with a feisty Russian woman active on social media, set about to replicate the results.
 

And it looks like they were successful.

As I write, researchers at the Huazhong University of Science and Technology in China claim to have replicated the LK-99 material described in the LKK paper. In a remarkable video, these scientists show a speck of LK-99 being repelled by both poles of a magnet. (Unlike typical magnets or other materials, superconducting materials exhibit this “dimagnetism” of being repelled by both orientations of a magnetic field.)
 

Weirdly, a Russian woman described as a “catgirl” (a term she refutes, but says applies to her girlfriend) apparently figured out a short-cut procedure and claims to have, in her apartment, produced LK-99. (This obviously would have wonderful implications for future mass-scale manufacturing...if only enough Russian catgirls could be found.)
 

More importantly, a scientist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab used supercomputers from the Department of Energy to model the crystal structure described by the Korean scientists...and their simulation supports the claimed superconducting properties. This was quickly followed by another confirming simulation at the Shenyang National Laboratory for Materials Science.
 

Some of the best descriptions of this discovery are coming from Andrew Cote, a superconducting magnet engineer posting on Twitter. As he explains,

“It turns out that there are conduction pathways for electrons that are in just the right conditions and places that would enable them to ‘superconduct.’ More specifically, they were close to the ‘Fermi Surface’ which is like the sea-level of electrical energy, as in ‘0 ft above sea-level.’ It's believed currently that the more conduction pathways close to the Fermi surface, the higher the temperature you can superconduct at (An analogy might be how it’s easier for planes to fly close to the surface of the ocean due to the ‘ground effect’ that gives them more lift.)”

Cote closes by noting that, if true...
 

“This is insanely bullish for humanity.” (Emphasis his.)
 

Things are moving fast on LK-99, but with Trump, Biden and the Kardashians occupying all of the bandwidth, you might have to go looking for the latest developments.
 

And I suggest you do. Because this really could change everything.

All the best,
