You carry stuff ?!!? Get a plane: https://www.magspec.com.au/about-magspec STOL crop dusters are fun: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_MO5Wfomks

Planes are great for high frequency signals, granted. Deep stuff requires much longer frequencies.

True - I've done both over the years, in the field and coding geophysical aquisition aquisition, processing, visualisation, and interpretation.

Still hard to pass up a chance to pile on the downsides of the slog work :)

1. This video is originally from an anonymous Douyin account. There is no verification that it is associated with a real replication attempt, from traditional academia or citizen science. There is a previous video on the channel showing the partial levitation more common to LK-99, but it likewise has no particular evidence it's not just a flake of pyrolitic graphite. It is claimed to be associated with a specific per…

All great reasoning. Unfortunately I believe it's a fake from an Occam's razor standpoint: it's too short and precisely framed. It's trivial to record a video 20x longer with a moving POV without revealing IP or secrets, but far from easy to product 20x more doctored vfx.

Not really true. It depends on how you do your CGI, if you have a setup with camera tracking and a 3D compositing pipeline as well as some sort of particle system for the dynamics, you could produce an infinite amount of VFX. It really depends on the specifics of how you set it up.

Assuming everything in the video is real, the only remaining question is: what is the actual temperature of that sample? If all of this checks out, then it's a new era.

No, the video contains no information about its conductivity.
