Ok, let's get to work here. A candidate model for SC must pass all know lab results with a reasonable explanation, qualitatively at least, until the calculations can be done to make it quantitative. Prof. Leggett told me that he hadn't heard of Josephson coupling over 10nm in vacuo, though he didn't...

Ok, but is there a lowest energy neutrino with a wavelength twice the width of the Universe. If not what top limits the size of a neutrino's wave-function?

Interesting paper by McElroy et al.
He is electron tunnelling scanning a super-conducting lattice and only gets normal tunnelling, no Josephson current seems to be reported.

Hmm, didn't know strangeness applied to leptons. Presumably a neutrino has strangeness to balance neutron decay? Or weak force interactions don't play? Another thought I'd like to hear discussed is concerning neutrinos. We know they're fermions so presumably they nod to Pauli's Principle, but with n...

Ok so Josephson Coupling is perfectly normal electron tunnelling, obeying Schroe's evanescent equation, but starting from a higher energy level than the fermi level due to the interstitial atom's higher potential. The locally reduced energy barrier, which is the work-function for metal vacuum bounda...

JFP your model of SC relies on Wigner Orbitals. It is possible that you are referring to a Wigner crystal of electrons only, but it seems more likely that you're referring to the orbitals of interstitial atoms which will have a lower work function than the atoms around them. This presumably means th...

Which orbitals of which atoms in which SC lattice? All known SCs? But anyway the point of that clip is that there is a lateral restitution force on the magnet. I'd suggest we are seeing the interplay of 3 magnetic entities. There is the magnetism of the ferromagnet, the captured magnetism in the SC ...

I'm new here so can I continue to pretend we're all Gentlemen :D :D Surely, as physicists, the onus is on finding results that support or confound your position. Rather than insult would it not be more creative to design experiments that would show clearly one position or the other? This is a <2 min...

I hope this is the right place to mention this. We are taught that the strong force overwhelms the electrostatic force by a critical amount. were it a smidgeon less then the universe would be entirely hydrogen, a smidgeon more and the universe would have burnt out yonks ago leaving lumps of an eleme...

Arthur C Clarke said that all technology we don't understand is indistinguishable from magic.
Thus anything we don't understand is superstition and paranormal till we do understand it?
Surely the actually results we don't understand aren't paranormal?

Oops sorry wrong topic.

JFP, are you saying all SC phenomena may be explained by electrons only, all falling within the bounds of Maxwell's Laws and Schroe's equation? Schroe's is essentially an energy Hamiltonian for particle/waves so if SC phenomena are breaking it, it needs to be admitted as a paranormal lab result sure...

Approaching this like a crossword clue, we have a whole lot of weird observations, some super-conduction (SC) only effects, some SC lattice interactions and some mistaken for SC. Pure SC effects are: Super-conduction Meissner / London Moment Josephson Coupling Andreev Reflection The right answer wil...

The centenary of Super-Conductivity approaches

Perusing Josephson at the moment.

Super-Conductivity was discovered in 1911 and 100 years later we still don't understand it. Though there are theories for how various lattices achieve this, none are universal and many are contradicted by other known results.
