Sooner or later, somebody’s going to have to run an experiment with unexpected consequences and take us all outta here, don’t you think?

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.

Most experiments in fusion around the world use one of two methods: tokamaks, which use a collection of coiled magnets surrounding a donut-shaped chamber to confine the plasma, or inertial fusion, using high-powered lasers to blast a tiny pellet of fuel at the device's center.
