Being loud and obnoxious is at best orthogonal to being correct. I'm not on either side on the LK99 question)

Having skipped to his analysis of the video, I find him pretty convincing.

He explains why the video is bunk using information provided by the lab, and basic physics. And then 'replicates' using his own sheet of metal and a magnet.

Also, he raises the fact that it's a commercial lab.

I've downgraded my level expectations a couple of orders of magnitude. But hey, let's hope for a miracle.

What part of the video I linked to was "loud" or "obnoxious"? I am not sure if you even watched the video...

I've been wondering what the "hanging copper plate" demonstration would look like if you were just seeing eddy currents. I kind of assumed you wouldn't see much movement because otherwise that makes the whole demonstration seem dumb.

...and based on that demo, it really does seem like a dumb way to demonstrate your miracle material. Really doesn't inspire confidence.

I find it very disappointing if not worrying that this wasn't picked up by more people... This is something any of us could have noticed.

Most people haven't seen that video. Most people have only seen the levitation video.

Good points made, but the attitude is absolutely repulsive.
