- Andrew McCallip wanted to get a batch of red phosphorus to create a room temperature superconductor.
- The substance is an ingredient in the preparation of methamphetamine and is controlled by the US Drug Enforcement Agency.
- McCallip and his followers on X offered ideas for getting phosphorus.
- The discovery of LK-99 could lead to a new era in condensed matter physics.
- Experts question the validity of the LK-99 data and are considering alternative explanations for the levitation.
- McCallip and his team are working on a superconductor and hope to make a video of levitation.
- The results of LK-99 studies cause controversy and doubts about their reliability.
- McCallip does not dwell on the results and continues to work on the creation of a superconductor.
