Here, fair traveler.
Believe in the bounces and find your way.

Confirms ferromagnetism or diamagnetism is an unlikely explanation for levitation. Watch the sample as the magnet is nudged and rotated.
If it was diamagnetism, the sample would slip and slide away from the field center, not be pinned in place. It also wouldn't be locked on one axis and rotate with the magnet.

This shows how difficult it is for a diamagnetic material to "balance" on a magnetic field. The only way to levitate a diamagnet is by creating a "divot" in the field, with either an array of magnets or a ring.

The sample touching the magnet on one side could be explained by the sample being impure or unbalanced, and the whole piece being too heavy for the superconducting material to levitate, like what is shown in this video.

The tiny part of the sample touching the magnet is not sufficient to explain how rigidly the sample appears to be locked in the same position in the magnetic field.
We still don't have confirmation of bulk room temperature superconductivity, but the sample is levitating at room temperature in a way that can only be explained by either islands of superconductivity, or an unprecedented new kind of superdiamagnetism that also self aligns itself with the magnetic field.

Additionally, the American engineer on Twitter successfully completed his replication attempt. He demonstrated his sample reacting strongly diamagnetically to a magnet, and the sample appeared to stay in place and rotate with the magnet placed underneath the sample holder, which is consistent with superconducting and removes the variable of friction.
