Room Temperature Superconductivity*
Scientists have been chasing room temperature superconductivity like it's the holy grail of physics—zero electrical resistance without needing liquid nitrogen baths! But then some physicist shows up with the fine print: "Oh, by room temperature, I meant 267 gigapascals of pressure." That's like saying you've invented waterproof paper that only works in the desert. The pressure required is roughly equivalent to what you'd find at Earth's core! Next time someone brags about their room temperature superconductor, just casually ask "at what pressure?" and watch their enthusiasm get crushed faster than their sample.
