The holy grail of materials science strikes again! This meme perfectly captures the crushing disappointment when "room temperature superconductivity" headlines appear, only for scientists to discover the fine print: "at 1000 gigapascals of pressure." That's like saying you've invented waterproof paper... that only works in a desert. The pressure required is roughly 10 million atmospheres—basically the core of the Earth. Your "room temperature" superconductor would need equipment that would crush your lab, your building, and possibly your entire career expectations. Back to the drawing board, folks!
