Top Comments of this video!! :3
I'm a materials scientist. Though I don't work on superconductors, I've been reading papers tied to it for the past few years. If anyone in the comments is a skilled programmer with some knowledge of physics, I HIGHLY encourage you to work on simulation tools for continuum materials. An example of popular simulation software we use is Quantum Espresso, which is free to use. We always need more people working in MatSci theory, now more than ever. Just, be warned that QE is in Fortran, which is a nightmare to work with. Otherwise, there is always VASP, which unfortunately costs money.

We're in the century of breakthroughs. Fusion energy, room-temperature superconductors, artificial general intelligence, quantum computers, renewed space exploration, the next-generation ion drive... This is something bound to happen this century. Those of us writing in the comment section might not live long enough to see these inventions deployed to their fullest extent, but we might witness their origins.
How I envy those of lucky ones who will be born in the 22nd century. Or perhaps they'll be saying the same about those in the 23rd century. I have no doubt the next century will focus their efforts on the last frontier. Who knows, maybe space colonization and warp drives will be their crowning achievements and it'll be up to their descendants to explore the galaxy.

Edit: I see the title was changed. New one is much better
Maybe the title should be changed to "How room-temperature superconductors would change the world"
With LK99 seemingly a bust, we're back to where we started: hypothetical conjecture. There's no telling if a room temperature superconductor will be found in our lifetimes. It's not accurate for the title to say they're "about to change everything"

I’m not sold on superconductors making these levels of radical changes globally. I feel like a boat load of assumptions are made. How financially feasible is rebuilding all this infrastructure around eliminating a 10% transmission loss? Wouldn’t natural gas producers still benefit from superconductors? The global economy is going to be in the toilet for years to come and even wealthy countries are struggling to invest into infrastructure. I’d love to be wrong but this seems like something that would almost entirely be used for like 1-2 militaries and maybe like a couple rail lines.

7:20 Twenty minutes coast to coast? That would be twenty minutes at Mach 11 (ELEVEN).
Sir Isaac Newton called and wants to talk about acceleration and stuff...
And deceleration.
