A: there is minimal theoretic backing for this form of superconductivity.

2: if this is true this is simply the largest case of utter dumb luck in the human species, like finding a convenient pill that makes you immortal, superintelligent, sexy and happy.

But if tests prove there are 0 side effects I'm still going to use the magic pill.

Half our most advanced materials science is in strained lattice, but this would still be incredible.
