How to make a star on Earth......what?

Can world's largest laser zap Earth's energy woes? - CNN.com

Scientists at a government lab here are trying to use the world's largest laser -- it's the size of three football fields -- to set off a nuclear reaction so intense that it will make a star bloom on the surface of the Earth.

Yeah, check it out.

sounds like the beginnings of a good Sci-Fi!

maybe a portal will be opened up to another world :roll:

Here's a bbc horizon program about fusion energy

Horizon Can We Make a Star on Earth

I didn't check the links yet but for some nice fact: the highest temperature in our solar system was reached on Earth. The temperature was about 7 trillion degrees Fahrenheit and was reached in the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider by colliding two gold ions.

I also think that Planck temperature is seen as the highest theoretically possible temperature.


Kind regards,

That is absolutely incredible.

Phenomenal idea.

 

[DMTripper]

Yeah let's bring Half Life to life hehe

we all hope that this will work...free energy would be a gret catylist for peace...i will pray for their sucess

Not according to the Japanese!

But seriously, no matter what the outcome of the development of fusion, the acceleration of man's technological prowess is always exciting and potentially beneficial. The point about pursuing less expensive and more immediate methods solving our energy and environmental problems does ring true, however, but it's too bad that our economy so ass backwards that we can hardly afford to fund essential research, such as this. Anyway, I say damn it all and go for it!
