  • Well I have not read too much of that edition and I am also not a plasma physicist, but the way that blurb text extract is written it sounds more like “Lots of really smart people simulated our fusion reactor and found no weird physics causing it to explode or simply not turn on”.

    I think this because they talk about checking the “plasma reaction assumptions”! So in theory it can work, but afaik lots of other fusion reactors could in theory work as well. This says nothing about whether their engineering will be able to actually extract that energy…

    Edit: I couldn’t resist and at least started the abstracts and they even looked at the theoretical extraction efficiency, but as I am not an expert in anything close to this field I still cannot tell anything about wether or not it will hold water (well, plasma).

















  • Right perpendicular to the “axis” going through Mordor so Sauron couldn’t easily find me. Because it would be funny!

    (Note: I have no idea if the world in which middle earth is set/embedded is actually spherical to make this possible. Although a flat-ish world, provided its perimeter was round-ish enough could also work…

    Someone who has read the silmarilion or similar please inform/correct me, thank you!)
