Sorry if this is off topic kinda. But it's world changing news potentially..
FUSION F^*%ING POWER GUYS!!!
Congratulations to the world...

It might be off topic, but 500 trillion watts of power being focused into the width of an No2 pencil is just plain awesome. I'd say were still pretty far off from it being a useful technology but the potential seems to be there.

The only technology with more potential is DigiByte!

Indeed, it's not going to be tomorrow, but it just went from theoretical science, to real-world technology (in it's infancy). And that alone is awesome.. Wink

First water on Mars, then the Higgs-Boson, now fusion power. Science is having a banner ~year...
Edit: Where the hell is my flying car? Huh

If I'm not mistaken, fusion has been accomplished many times before; just not with Digi-Ton of LaZeRs

Thing is, this is the first time they have generated more power than it took to create. A miniscule amount but a + voltage of any form proves the science is sound. Give it 20 years, that building sized generator making milliivolts of postive voltage, could become a table sized generator capable of powering a town for almost nothing. Much like the first building sized computers became today's superphones. I'm excited for the world, one more thing I can check off the list of "Things I want to live to see"..(Getting old)...lol

Regardless, definitely cool

ofc then my excitement starts to fade when I think about the potential for disaster with one, or a few select countries wielding "infinate power" over the others. The military ramifications alone scare the hell out of me, and likely will every world leader and general on the planet. Fear like that, as well as power like that being lorded around, has been known to cause normally rational people to do totally irrational things. Like start World Wars...

Back to the topic now...sorry for the distraction.... hehe

C'mon BigVern...

Lets get this fusion tech going so I dont pay 300$ a month in elec bills mining stuff, thanks
