Some additional context here. The author has a further statement, in which he apologizes that the previous video was misleading due to two points:
1. The sample was not LK99.
2. Both the larger piece held by the tweezers and the smaller levitating one were from the same sample.
But he also states that no tricks of any kind were used nor the video was edited.
So, some other material levitating itself in seemingly room temperature?
Currently this guy is practically using his real name, with his university and professor exposed. It takes some courage to lie at this point.
Edit: People sometimes speak in convoluted ways. I feel "The sample was not LK99" could have two interpretations here:
1. It is a completely different compound.
2. It is a derivative from LK99 with a different synthesis/doping method.
