Don't get me wrong, I love the fact that a break through technology is shared with the rest of the world immediatly. Let's assume that it is real.
I can't help but wonder why a so significant discovery is published so soon. Wouldn't the laboratory or even the state in which this discovery was made want to keep it secret, to have this edge over its concurrents ? Akin TMSC for exemple.
Isn't there significant military applications possibles ?
With that in mind, would it be possible that :
1/ that discovery is not new, and better superconductor already exist somewhere ?
2/ the rushed publication would be like a leak, to prevent exactly that ?
