Scientists are creeping closer to their goal of creating a controlled fusion-energy reaction by mimicking the interior of the sun inside the hardware of a laboratory. In the latest incremental advance, reported Wednesday online in the journal Nature, scientists in California used 192 lasers to compress a pellet of fuel and generate a reaction in which more energy came out of the fuel core than went into it.

Wow nuclear fusion. I wonder if we'll try to turn it into a bomb this time too

What if Stars are just planets where Intelligent Beings attempted to perfect Fusion?

:hmm:

Someone tell adlep; notice that they're not trying to sell anything or ask for money for proof.

You don't know till you try!! 😛


On the other hand even if they did manage it, it wouldn't help us poor bastards.

We need to hurry up with this. If we could stop fighting over energy we could focus more on fighting over religion and skin color.
