And why do I keep reading about ballroom dancing metaphors to describe it?

Because of Cooper-Pairs?

Uh...

Maybe.

That's a good guess.

Researchers include an interesting mix of experimental physicists and theoretical physicists.

The former is from the French National Center for Scientific Research in Paris, CNRS.

The latter is Simone Foundation's Flatiron Institute.

So, okay, the name of the paper, the paper was published in Physical Review Letters just recently, this April 2026.

The name of the paper got some jargon in here, observing spatial charge and spin correlations in a strongly interacting Fermi gas.

It's much more interesting than it sounds.

So, all right, superconductivity.

We've mentioned this many times on the show, and I think most everyone is comfortable with what's going on with superconductivity at a university.

you know, at a high level, electricity flowing without resistance.

And it happens in very cold regimes.

That's where you're going to see things like superconductivity happening.

And do you guys know the key prediction of modern superconductivity theory?

What's the key thing?

And Steve kind of just ruined that because he basically said, it's Cooper pears, right?

And you're right, Steve.
