Do any of you even think it will happen , if so what do you think the real conductivity factor vs copper will be?

5x maybe? if they even are able to do what they are trying to do , and if so what year do you think this will even happen.
Where do I start with this thread.
I have worked with carbon nanotubes.

"1000 times MORE CONDUCTIVE than copper and aluminum"
Did you ever think they may have meant thermal conductivity and not electrical conductivity.
If you want to increase electrical conductivity you go for superconductors.
