this doesn't even make sense


What's confusing you?


it's not confusing, it's just silly, the Iron Age ended over 2000 years ago, so there were just no ages between the birth of Christ and LK-99?


None which are generally accepted by historians that happen to be named after a single substance:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-age_system


That's only for prehistory.

In any case it's a pretty silly contrivance, how about the oil age? or the silicon age? Both of those are likely to remain more impactful than the LK-99 age, in the event that it does turn out to be an ambient temp/pressure superconductor.


If replicated, those are gonna be footnotes to LK-99 and its likely many derivatives and close cousins.


It’s cringe, dude.


Dude, you're now in the LK-99 Age. Learn to live with it.
