What year will I first come into contact with a room temp superconductor?
Basic

expected

This will resolve to the year that I either:

  1. Interact with a device that uses a room temperature superconductor (MRI machine, smartphone, car, toy, etc.)

  2. See a room temperature superconductor with my own two eyballs in real life.

I can clarify the question further if needed.

I will not count it if I merely use electricity on a grid powered by a device using RTSC, but I would count it if I toured the facility generating the power.

I have a device in my heart that explodes exactly 100 years from now or whatever so capping this at 2123.

How far afield would you be willing to go to see one in person? Would you drive to the next town over just to see? Would you go to a disliked colleague’s house? Would you leap into a van if a man said he had a superconductor inside?

@Noit Great question! I think seeing a superconductor would factor positively into my decision, like deciding to go to a science exihibit, but I would say that I would not go to great lengths just to see one.

Right now, I'm a college student without a car or a lot of extra cash, so it would really have to be when the opportunity arises. To put a number on it, I don't think I'd spend more than $50 solely to see a floaty rock. (Exception being right now, when they have yet to be confirmed)

Is this a trick question and are you cooking LK99 in your oven rn?

@Mullet4MyV Yeah I've actually got about a kilo of the stuff right now and I'm using it as seasoning so my food floats over my rare earth magnet plates.
