Yep. It would be a bad month to achieve ignition, wouldn't it? The chill that would send down the spine of millions would probably cause them to delay the announcement by a month or two. I know I would.
You know what I wonder? What happens when an artificial star goes supernova?
So, you think this latest effort is doomed to failure?
Either that, or this mini sun will collapse and become a black hole, which then swallows the whole solar system (ooops!).
The thing that worries me most about an advance like this, is that it will be successful, but not to the point where the thing is stable. If it destabilizes, I would think that it would go through the same series of death throes that any star would. What are the ramifications of that?
Is it too late to take that ship to Mars?
Please - save me a seat, would'ya? LOL
Knowing that, how does one position oneself to take advantage of it?
I’ve been thinking of buying Palladium. I wonder if there are any publicly traded companies that make Seebeck calorimeters?
Shhhweeeee...! That sailed right over my head, Kev. LOL
Care to translate that into English for us non-techies?
Okay. Your name's on the list, but it's not going to help us much when the singularity is established. [rummages around for the stinkin' Star Gate] Maybe we should try for Tau Ceti? ;-D
Well, let's hope the Star Gate doesn't have the same bug that hit FR this morning. Can you imagine inputting the destination co-ordinates, hitting the Go button, and getting a "Failure to connect to server" message?
LOL
</crazy old bat>
This great news, I thought all fusion research was dead.
Well, given that atomic fusion is the basic process that powers all stars, research into the subject won't end until the world's scientists fully understand it, and can even duplicate it.
If this current project doesn't manage to reproduce atomic fusion, another one in the future will.
Care to translate that into English for us non-techies?
***Palladium is the most common metal used as the host lattice for Deuterium in these experiments. And Seebeck calorimeters seem to be the best ones that generate the best results as far as I can see...

Thanks for the explanation and the links, Kev.
Unfortunately, none of what you posted is layman-friendly. I've got the aptitude to study what you posted and arrive at a satisfactory understanding of what you're talking about, but it's a lot more work than I want to do right now.
Thank you anyway. Perhaps some folks reading here will find the data useful.
