Even if LK99 isn't the real deal, god has it been an exciting 2 weeks. Though I know absolutely nothing about material science, I have enjoyed the sheer enthusiasm and optimism the scientific community has shown. I feel like I'm part of something unique and special, something which could have only been achieved by the medium of accessible mass communication. The excitement here is palpable. I feel fortunate to be part of this infinitesimally miniscule portion of human history where I can share this moment with so many people.
