Maybe if it runs longer, we all get to jump to a better timeline. 😅

Or the world blows up and it’s all over. I guess what I’m saying is, no downside, fire it up and let’s see what happens.

Meanwhile in America we’re trying to make macdonalds cheaper by bundling an extra sandwich to go along with a value meal…

Why don't we use "shatters world record" like the pro-China articles where they did this for 16 minutes?

I know why.

[–] [email protected] 49 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Because that one was over double the length of the record before it and this one is closer to a 35% increase.

So it's probably just a "slams"

Why do you care so much what an article says about France's accomplishments of science and China's accomplishments of science? Why can't we enjoy the movement of technology without bickering about lines drawn in the sand by people none of us know or care about?

Oh shit. Things are heating up in the fusion race.

IIRC it was expected because previous record from China was essentially a trial for this one. It all happens under ITER project so it’s not that much of a race.

Good shit. I’d rather this be a global cooperative effort rather than a jingoistic dick-waving contest.

It's always thirty years away because every time it gets close to 15 years away they cut the funding in half. Zeno's Dichotomy in action.

Mr. Fusion now 1 step closer... 10 years late, but still!
