And though I .... understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; ...and have not Love, I am nothing.
1 Corinthians 13:2
Are these Strange Metals, likely a clue to how Black Holes (batteries of solar systems?) work --a peek into how the Creator runs His systems on a large scale? It all boils down to Mathematics.
"Even by the standards of quantum physicists, strange metals are just plain odd.
The materials are related to high-temperature superconductors and have surprising connections to the properties of black holes.
Electrons in strange metals dissipate energy as fast as they’re allowed to under the laws of quantum mechanics,
--and the electrical resistivity of a strange metal, unlike that of ordinary metals, is proportional to the temperature.
*In the quantum mechanical world, electrical resistance is a byproduct of electrons bumping into things.
*In the quantum mechanical world, electrical resistance is a byproduct of electrons bumping into things.
*As electrons flow through a metal, they bounce off other electrons or impurities in the metal.
*The more time there is between these collisions, the lower the material’s electrical resistance.
For typical metals, electrical resistance increases with temperature, following a complex equation.
But in unusual cases, such as when a high-temperature superconductor is heated just above the point where it stops superconducting, the equation becomes much more straightforward.
In a strange metal, electrical conductivity is linked directly to temperature and to two fundamental constants of the universe: Planck’s constant and Boltzmann’s constant. Consequently, strange metals are also known as Planckian metals.
Quantum entanglements between electrons mean that physicists can’t treat the electrons individually, and the sheer number of particles in a material makes the calculations even more daunting.
The resulting theoretical model reveals the existence of strange
metals as a new state of matter bordering two previously known phases of matter: Mott insulating spin glasses and Fermi liquids.
“We found there is a whole region in the phase space that is exhibiting a Planckian behavior that belongs to neither of the two phases that we’re transitioning between,” Kim says. “This quantum spin liquid state is not so locked down, but it’s also not completely free. It is a sluggish, soupy, slushy state. It is metallic but reluctantly metallic, and it’s pushing the degree of chaos to the limit of quantum mechanics.”
Perhaps surprisingly, the work has links to astrophysics. Like strange metals, black holes exhibit properties that depend only on temperature and the Planck and Boltzmann constants, such as the amount of time a black hole ‘rings’ after merging with another black hole.

“The fact that you find this same scaling across all these different systems, from Planckian metals to black holes, is fascinating,”
Parcollet says."
