    Discovered CAR T-Cell therapy. A true cure for cancer.
    Created mRNA vaccines.
    Came up with the theory for the Alcubierre drive.
    Redirected an asteroid.
    Discovered Homo luzonensis, another human ancestor.
    Created a baby with three genetic parents.
    Took a radio frequency picture of a black hole.

    Just to name a few.

    That's your issue? That science isn't "exciting" enough?

    To bad for you that reality so boring.

    Here's a question, how is fusion in any form supposed to reduce heat when it takes about a sun sized continuous? heat that powers a wimpy town of 10,000?

    my only interest in building smaller fusion explosives is my patented idea of a power generating method that works at 2-80% efficiency of the explosive I made a thread about it 6 years ago perhaps you missed it.

    One drills holes in the ground then sends down saws using the holes to cut the earth into on singular block, then an underground explosive is used to blast the block out of the ground, the cavity left behind is refilled with the dirt and rock of the block and lowered into the cavity spinning a generator.

    I have several other power generating methods as well that would use large fusion. Scaling it down is key and using it as I said.

    Fusion creates heat. That's why we are pursuing it.

    Which experiment? Be specific.
    That's false.

    Look, it's probably better if you don't try to talk about things you don't understand. Or, at least, don't make silly pronouncements when you don't know. Try asking questions. You might learn something new, that way.
    Who is it you don't agree with? trevor?
    I don't know what you're talking about. You don't seem to be able to focus on any topic for very long, and you segue from one topic to what seems like a totally unrelated one regularly, only to return with that bee in your bonnet about gathering all elements in one place. We're still yet to find out from you what you think that would achieve, despite numerous attempts to extract some coherent thoughts from you on that topic.

    trevor:
    You didn't address any of the questions I asked you. What's wrong?
    Who told you that fusion is supposed to reduce heat/temperature?

    I mean, it can, under appropriate circumstances, but what's the relevance?
    I can't parse that.
    How did you calculate the efficiency? 2 to 80% is a very large range, so it seems you are quite uncertain about this.
    I assume you factored the costs of refilling the cavity into your efficiency calculation, did you? I'm interested to see how you did the calculations.

    Got a link to your original thread, so I can read it?
    Are they all as poorly thought out as the one you just mentioned?

    I imagine in the future someday they will just use wood, then one day take a look at fusion experiments and be like, those guys were crazy, and the book be permanently closed on using nuclear.

    Well I would sound pretty crazy to say all the theories. If it’s not a way to truth it reinforces old truths.

    Haven’t ever really heard a good theory from anyone tho.

    I typically agree with you James R.

    any fusion experiment without enough gravity.
