China's "Artificial Sun" Is Now Hot Enough for Nuclear Fusion

[DinardJoulien]

They're not facts there are men and women caught inbetween. It's called variance.

It's called mutation.
There are only two sexes in most mammalians, human species included. Everything in-between is rare, most of the time, sterile mutations. Stop passing mutants as "normal" thing for our species.

Oh, really? I guess it was China that directly killed off or sparked a civil war to remove the government in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Ukraine, etc. in an attempt to install their own puppet government.

They are using economic power to subdue South America and Africa, as well, as realizing 1984 in their own country.
But cry how US is the most EVUL country in the world.

Compare with the US and Europe ... China's stability is based on their ability to make coherent long term decisions ... compare that with the current US chaos and looming demise, and EU economic and social chaos.

China's economic growth tied to their country being reduced to one big cheap factory, as well, as lack of any ethics when it comes to stealing technology of others.
If other countries will pull out from China, for whatever reason it will be reduced to a near North Korean state of existence, which will mean World War, because, Chinese government will need to feed billions of people. And Mao's book is not a good source of calories.

Leak the defintion than. Gender is the culture or social defintion of sex but not hardwired sex. Gender is a broad term like super broad.

Gender is a fictional construct. Nothing real about it and people who define themselves as "non-binary" are idiots who just want some attention and want to feel special without being special. Common losers.

Two sexes but not two gender learn to read defintions. Gender isn't at all there are social and cultural difference between sexes gender defins that but sex is the hard wired differences. Your both bad at this.

You are bad at this, really. Also, you are bad at punctuation.

Gender - is fictional. Society norms, that define genders - are fictional.
Sex is real. There are only 2 sexes. There are no actual genders.

So you have no idea how diversity and inclusion work. You realize it's illegal to discriminate against the majority (white men) just as much as anyone else, right? There are literally cases about this all the time.

Go educate yourself before spouting nonsense.

That is not true.

SJWs have no problem saying bigoted things about white men or whatever group they think is "powerful", be that Christians, cis etc.

SJWs have been known to call for racial segregation in certain circumstances to supposedly keep the blacks "safe" in "safe spaces".

Take any of their rants and replace the majority group they talk about with "black" or "Jew".

If you have something to say, say it. Referring to what "they" do isn't telling us anything. If you want to make statements about people, make sure it is a coherent grouping and that it exists.

[Ianus]

It's not at all I liked defintions and the actual interpretation through law the but you keep going on with your emotions.

Facts don't care about your feelings.

anyone that thinks he is superman you know were his place is.. its same for genderists that think they are 9th gender

We've gotten to the stage where we can create fusion, we just need to push it further and improve efficiencies so we're getting more energy OUT of the reaction than we are putting INTO the reaction. And to outweigh the costs of having to do maintenance and replace parts and such.

EDIT: Just checked out the article. If it is indeed 'self-sustaining' that would indicate that it would only need fuel rather than additional energy. That's a massive leap forward, as I understand it!

if you dont define fuel as energy, then what is it?

[Osmeric]

Fuel is something from which energy can be released.

[Sialina]

i wonder how they contain something like that? i mean, with those temperatures, i imagine nothing within an even remotely close range would be able to withstand the heat generated. Must be small as balls, suspended inside something ginormous.

The Tokamak name comes from a configuration of magnets that keeps the plasma at bay inside the reactor. Fun fact, the magnets are cooled to slightly below 4K (-269C) so the hottest place in our solar system is just a few centimeters away form the coldest place in it.

-269c ...

The 52 types of gender have nothing to do with wanting to be superman. It's the people making fun of it that come up with stuff like that. Way to be out of touch, wrong, and emotion driven. Ill stick to facts though because you seem to lack them.

Problem with racist fear mongering is that they have a short term memory problems.

Germany for example is pretty far with nuclear fusion (still continually 50 years away) and they have achieved the following

What they don't mention is that those magnets would only last a few minutes at that temperature.

No technology is near powerful enough to withstand 150 million degrees longer than a few minutes, not even the German tech.

[Sialina]

-269c ...

Of course it's -269C, I just typoed, it's a capital C for Celsius by the way.

[oplawlz]

No, that's what you get when you vote for people who'd rather jerk off big oil/gas/coal than invest in new energy technology or the supporting infrastructure for it.

So . . . everyone?

You realize that for all their talk the vast majority of politicians on both sides of the isle work for for those guys, right? It's why no matter who has control nothing substantial changes.

[Serenais]

I suppose someone already said this, but just achieving nuclear fusion is no big deal.
Holding it up for long enough time is something else entirely. 100M centigrade is an important step, however, long term sustained fusion is more easy (aka, requires lower temperature) with deuterium-tritium fusion. The fuel for that is harder to get, but lower temperature necessary for fusion means that it will be easier to build a viable reactor, which is the overall goal.
That being said, it is not without merit. Overall, going the whole way from protium (hydrogen with no neutrons) to helium IS going to produce a lot more energy overall. But it is a very long term goal, and EAST is not going to reach it - it's not even supposed to.
"Long term" operation and overall viability demonstration is the goal of ITER, for which EAST is one of the precursors. There are numerous countries participating on ITER - European Union, India, Japan, Russia, South Korea, the United States and indeed China - so EAST going where it does is not "bad news" for west; it's good news for everyone.

well you cant type a capital C in a post if there are no lowercase letters going along with it, this forum design is broken beyond belief

[DinardJoulien]

That isn't fictional at all do men and women not do different things disporpotionality?

If it has something to do with biological chemistry - it's part of a sex.
If it's learned behavior - it's gender.
The thing dividing the two might be hard, but believing that women and men act differently due to their biology, is a path leading to sexism. Though given how hypocritical left is, I am not surprised that they use outright sexist arguments to support their agenda.

It's not learned behaviour in some cases. I think they do to an extent but there are middle eastern countries with more women in tech than men but on the other hand women prefer social jobs overall. I think both sexes have disportionated taste but not at the rates of western societies. Like there shouldn't be more men than women in tech at the numbers we have in america. I think the balance is like 51%-60% without influence but genetics are a powerful thing and scientist even think genetics play a role in poltical learnings.

We've even found genetics linked to intelligence but nothing concrete to explain a whole lot.
