Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around a new theory related to superconductivity, specifically a 'standing wave model' proposed for understanding superconductivity and designing new superconductors. Participants explore the validity and realizability of this theory, as well as its reception within the scientific community.

Discussion Character

  • Debate/contested
  • Exploratory

Main Points Raised

  • Some participants express curiosity about the new theory and its potential implications for superconductivity.
  • One participant questions the credibility of the theory due to its lack of citations and publication status.
  • Another participant finds the title of the theory intriguing but raises concerns about its realizability.
  • A later reply emphasizes the community's judgment based on the absence of citations and publication, suggesting a general skepticism towards the theory.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally express skepticism regarding the new theory due to its lack of citations and publication, indicating a lack of consensus on its validity.

Contextual Notes

The discussion highlights limitations related to the theory's publication status and citation record, which may affect its perceived validity and acceptance in the scientific community.

A general question for those who may have background in superconductivity. Curious to know if the following theory has any legs

Unpublished and zero cites? Not promising.
 
It's title makes me very intrigued as it's counterintuitive. Is this an idea that is even realizable?

That's a different paper.
 
The premise of the new theory is described in the published paper, where it is described that a 'standing wave model provides a new direction for the understanding of superconductivity and for the design of new superconductors.' No citations to it though, so not sure if there's any validity.
 
The community has already passed judgment on it by a lack of citations of citations of either paper and the lack of publication of one of the two. It is not worth my time to see if there are any nuggets of gold in them.
