1 year agoGood question. My understanding is that impurities can create behaviors in materials which mimic some superconducting indicators such as levitation and sharp resistance drops, but without key indicators such as zero resistance and Josephson effects.
Notably, the original paper only showed behaviors that indicate, but doesn’t prove, superconductivity. Several pure samples have been found to not exhibit those behaviors, so consensus is that it’s a case of impurities mimicking superconducting behavior.
It was fun, but has definitely been almost exclusively better since. I distinctly remember being alarmed at how warm it was to be inside her, I had not expected that at all. I mean, I’d fingered her and stuff, but never felt anything like that on my penis.
