Thanks, Lou. In Larsen's slide 8, he wonders: "Just before 'going nuclear',
does 'patch' become an evanescent HTSC"? Now these fractal HTSC links you
have provided discuss behaviors that occur on scales vastly larger than
nanoscale, but smaller than bulk materials.
In either case, we might have a peculiar state in which bulk material (e.g.
Celani's wire) is intermittently ("patchily") superconductive along the
path of current flow. This might be observed as a sort of average, i.e. a
decrease in resistance across the bulk material just as Celani is reporting.
Or so I wonder.
