It was too good to be true from the start, but I love the scientific process that got dozens of labs excited and confirming that while this new material has some interesting properties, it is not the holy grail of room temp. 1 atm superconductor.

I mean... we have no idea if this is even possible. There's no theoretical predictions that suggest they should be possible or that they are impossible. We're still babies when it comes to composite materials science. The better we get at manipulating atoms and molecules, the more we'll have these opportunities to search for a new material.

Just 'cause something sounds too good to be true doesn't mean it is. The internet is too good to be true. I pay someone a pittance in a monthly fee and I can talk to people anywhere in the world basically in live time? I have entire libraries at my fingertips? I can watch high quality entertainment whenever I want, and pause it, and skip commercials, too?

Amazing. It fits in my pocket, you say?
