"Essentially, they’re saying you can bake up a sample of this stuff, pop it out of the oven, and just sitting there on your lab bench it will conduct electricity without any resistance."
From what I have heard, it's not supposed to be that expensive or even difficult to make. They should have sent actual samples of the material to a dozen different universities from a batch they share their own data measurements about. Save everyone a lot of time about doubts that it's manufactured correctly.
I imagine they only have a few grams of the stuff. And they're not highly motivated to be debunked immediately
but if it were real, they were claiming it could be manufactured easily, so making some samples to send out to research labs would not be too difficult
Right. And they haven't. Now what may we deduce about their confidence in these results?
