It’s fake. How this is even still being entertained is beyond me.

If a room temperature and pressure superconductor existed, how do you think the creators would announce it to the world - through a demonstration of their patented product hat will instantly turn them/their company into one of the richest companies in the world and win them a Nobel peace prize……..or by putting a dodgy looking word document “proof” out?

From what I see, it was a 'leak' by a former researcher from that group that was not included on that paper, so it's probable it was an attempt at discrediting the authors instead of claiming actual discovery.

So it was a leak by a former researcher on the team to show people that they’re lying? That’s even more damning lol
