HOLY CRAP Controled Fusion on the Horizon?

By the use of the world's largest "laser", mad scientists in Livermore, California plan to create an energy reaction that will equate the output of a mini star, and possibly, create the world's first controlled fusion reaction.

The energy crisis may shortly be at an end! Woo hoo!

Old news

You always say that.

Landing on the moon is old news.

This is from yesterday. That's not old.

Still though, WOW! Did you see that picture of the thing that's supposed to contain the reaction? Looks like something from a scifi film!

They've been working on fusion in that place in California for ages.

Sorry, meant to add more for when after I had read article

Yeah, but now they might actually get it to work!

:cough: pessimist :cough:

A few trillionth of a second is not very long. But promising.

yeah, I'm not overly positive about these things. People are continually saying "we're on the verge of discovery now" when they never really are, or aren't close enough to really be considered significant

Well, if this works, we may have a mini-ZPM which lasts a hundred years.

Yes, so the stargate will always work!
