Coordinated defect arrangement shown to boost superconductivity in new study Condensed matter physics has been going through an identity crisis for the last 15 years or so. Their theories were all too dense but, in the last few years, the experimental evidence has simplified the Big Picture. To a great extent, electrons behave like a weird fluid, and they tend to produce quasi particles around flaws in the geometry of a material, like whirlpools in a stream. Now they're saying superconductivity has to do with the complexity of the flaws you introduce, across the entire sample. Theoretically, using different quasi particles and geometries they could produce any number of quantum effects. This same effect can be seen in photons, which can move forward and back in time indefinitely, if they have the right geometry to follow. Superconductivity has to do with manipulating spacetime, and things are about to get interesting. My guess, is they will have to account for protons teleporting inside samples as well. Already, this has been documented in biology. Inside a metal or whatever, the electrons become part of the material, and everything is moving around as both particles and waves. Proximity is part of what determines the principle of identity, and the more constrained and well defined the geometry, the more self-contradictory behavior it should exhibit. This is similar to "The Number of the Beast" by Heinlein. Tweaking geometry alone, we can work magic with dynamics, because all the multiverses converge, and convergence is the rule.
