Fusion!? Progress it seems...
 

Interesting read and an apparent breakthrough toward the distant goal. We aren't about to end our reliance on fossil fuels but we are a lot closer than we were before this happened...

That's impressive, especially looking at their budget. And to think this project was a hair's breath away from being shuttered right before the breakthrough.

Most science is a hair's breath from being shuttered. The NASA and DARPA budgets should be at least 5x what they are, and the fact that we don't have a large hadron collider is embarrassing to say the least. I'm actually hoping the new Cosmos show will help show the mouth-breathers that actual science is more entertaining and important than the NCIS nonsense they usually watch.

Its been over an hour and not one conspiracy theorist?..

I know its late but that's bad form.....

Most don't understand it well enough to post conspiracies about it.

it will make black hole :)))))))))

I looked up cosmos, hadn't heard about it since I don't watch tele, it looks like it has potential. Although I find that science shows hosted by degrasse are dumbed down, at least the ones of his I've watched on netflix, etc. I wonder if this one will be as well.

Thanks for that :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Time to wipe coffee off screen now..!

Can you imagine what our world would like be if conspiracy theorists only posted about things they understood very well.

I will bite. What sort of conspiracy are you hoping for?

People working hard for years on something were able to find a bit of a breakthrough?

Lizards control this?
I am confused as to what conspiracy you are hoping to see brought up.

Why don't you explain in your own words something about Fusion. You know..you posted a link, that means you are well versed on the subject right?

Isn't hydrogen 3 the main element in our sun's fusion process? I thought that it was scarce on earth?

well played.

just a chance to use the term :winkwink:
