Even if LK99 isn't the real deal, god has it been an exciting 2 weeks. Though I know absolutely nothing about material science, I have enjoyed the sheer enthusiasm and optimism the scientific community has shown. I feel like I'm part of something unique and special, something which could have only been achieved by the medium of accessible mass communication. The excitement here is palpable. I feel fortunate to be part of this infinitesimally miniscule portion of human history where I can share this moment with so many people.
I was many times sad to not be in the future just to get more history to read and more ahead on the tech tree as you say. One of the most interesting things in life is the "story" of life itself. I don't mind not living later but I'd really like to know what happens!
