type of guy (me) who wants LK99 to be real because they want a piece of it floating over a magnet as a desk toy

@noiob you can buy pyrolytic carbon right now, it also floats on magnets (although it needs a little bit different magnetic field configuration)

@manawyrm yeah I know but it's not half as cool. I'd wanna go for the aesthetic of the floating rock desk toy in Avatar, though a bit scaled down

@noiob if LK99 works _that_ good, we'll first need to stop partying/celebrating :P

@manawyrm it doesn't need to float that high but I've seen model trains levitating on low-temp superconductors and it was cool as shit
