However, we have never seen a material with such strong diamagnetism that is not a superconductor

Really? That's encouraging, thanks.

Yes LK-99 if not a superconductor would be the strongest diamagnetic material by orders of magnitude.

And even if it turns out it isn't a superconductor, that's pretty cool in its own right, no? At least this layman would think so.

And it would go a way in explaining why so many take the claims seriously and try to replicate it, if we know there's something exciting going on either way.
