In response to the @SECGov's action against @stonercatstv, I have made:

First claimed successful replication of LK-99

Accomplished by a team at the Huazhong University of Science and Technology and posted 30 minutes ago.

Why this is evidence:
The LK-99 flake slightly levitates for both orientations of the magnetic field, meaning it is not simply a magnetized piece of iron or similar 'magnetic material'. A simple magnetic flake would be attracted to one polarity of the strong magnet, and repelled by the other. A diamagnet would be repelled under either orientation, since it resists and expels all fields regardless of the polarity.

Caveats
There is no way to verify the orientation of the strong magnet in this video, also, there are yet to be published experimental measured values of this sample. Diamagnetism is a property of superconductors but without measured and verified data, this is just suggestive of a result.

Take-away
If this synthesis was indeed successful, then this material is easy enough to be made by labs other than the original research team. I would watch carefully for results out of Argonne National Lab, who are reported to be working on their own synthesis of a sample.

This overall corroborates two independent simulation studies that investigated the original Korean authors claim about material and crystal structure, and both studies supported the claims.

The attached video shows a small flake of their sample responding to an external magnetic field. I scroll through the video to skip to the relevant part.

Plastic is EVERYWHERE - we need a strong and ambitious Global #PlasticsTreaty NOW to fight the plastic pollution crisis!

There has been much discussion about the likely failure of Thames Water in the last day or so. I’ve been looking at the accounts of England’s water companies for the last twenty years. My conclusion is that they are all environmentally insolvent. So, a thread…..

1/ It’s been 5 years since Bill Hinman gave his infamous speech – and through the SEC’s lawsuit against @Ripple (and 7 court orders), we can finally share what happened behind the scenes through the now public emails / drafts of the speech.

[Matt Walsh @MattWalshInBos]

This Prometheum storyline has got to be the strangest thing I have seen in awhile in this industry. Has anyone actually looked into this? Beyond bizarre…

[John E Deaton @JohnEDeaton1]

The Hinman emails help @coinbase, #ETH and @Ripple’s fair notice defense. How much it helps anyone in a courtroom is yet to be seen. But in the Court of Public Opinion and in Congress, the emails should help drive attention to how hypocritical and reckless the SEC is being.

[CryptoLaw @CryptoLawUS]

Twitter rose up and labeled @GaryGensler’s tweet as lacking important context.

His lies are starting to unravel.

[CryptoLaw @CryptoLawUS]

@GaryGensler 1) Refuse to say what compliance means; 2) Approve their IPO knowing their business model; 3) Sue them for non-compliance.

This is why the @SECGov has no credibility.

[Brad Garlinghouse @bgarlinghouse]

If it wasn’t already clear, it should be now – Chair Gensler’s laughable “pro-innovation” stance (as he said today), is exactly the opposite. What this also tells me is that the SEC is throwing lawsuits at the wall and hoping they distract from the agency’s FTX debacle.

[Guts @Guts40404]

@allgaseth @Tree_of_Alpha @CryptoDiamonds The SEC themselves looked closely into Coinbase's business before giving them the greenlight for the IPO. And now they decide Coinbase was doing something illegal all along? Either the SEC was wrong in 2021 or they're wrong now, but they can't have it both ways 🤷‍♂️

Noise is a secret destroyer of productivity.

It is secret because it impacts cognition, not effort, so we don’t notice, but a 10db noise increase (from a dishwasher to a vacuum) lowers productivity by 5%. Noise is also greater in poorer neighborhoods... https://t.co/RaIAsSudyY

It’s a f’ing shame that an 18 year old born into wealth can own/trade an asset that a 40 year old who has served 20 years in the military can’t.

@olavchen Så fint at AS Norge devaluerer med salg av 1-4 mrd. NOK/dag samtidig som de holder renta godt under ECB og Fed. Nå er nordmenn i utlandet umiddelbart fattigere og inflasjonen på hjemlige trakter får vind i seilet.

We are looking at the future of VR, YouTube & Google Street View.

This is zip-NeRF, a 3D neural rendering tech rapidly approaching the quality of a real, high-res drone flight video. Think of NeRF as transporting reality into simulation. Metaverse will finally work this time.
