Scientists Say Their Giant Laser Has Produced Nuclear Fusion

Unfortunately, NIF did not reach ignition

“The new technique can’t reach “ignition,” which is the point at which the hydrogen fusion feeds on itself to make more. Even so, JET’s Cowley says, this is still a big moment for NIF.

Wow... and we owe it all to Darwin and the evolutionary scientists. Oh wait...”

How ‘bout: we owe it all to Big Gubment, centralized funding by Big Gubment, and scientists at Bug Aademia who depend on those grants.”

This sh*t evolved long after Darwin.

Unless you are postulating retroactive evolution.....

Maybe, but wouldn’t everyone else driving behind it sound like chipmunks?

***Yup. They’re a bunch of con artists. They take 50 years and hundreds of $Billions to reach breakeven point for 1 BILLIONTH of a second. In the meantime, Cold Fusioneers had breakeven AND ignition 23 years ago, it took only a few tens of $Millions, it was private money, and cold fusion experiments tend to last several DAYS.

“We’ve gotten more energy out of the fusion fuel than we put into the fusion fuel,” he says.
