Science & Engineering Shit

Each location in the matrix is addressed and the controller on the back-end knows which part of the video to send to that address. The panel just lights up once it’s plugged in. Fundamentally it’s not any different than plugging a DVD player into a dumb TV.

We shall see the significance of this reasonably soon. My own estimation is that nuclear fusion is the energy source of the future…

…and always will be.

Like kickboxing…the sport of the future.

Shows what I know. I put all my money on gymkata.

And Dippin’ Dots.

Gymkata, the skill of gymnastics, the kill of karate.

Can someone explain the fusion thing to me as if I were eight years old and not like Little Man Tate or some shit?

Fusion is the opposite of fission. So instead of dividing a heavy atom, we’re fusing two light (hydrogen) atoms.

This has two benefits:

  1. No nuclear waste
  2. Virtually unlimited fuel

The problem has been that creating a fusion reaction always needed more energy than it produced, so what’s the good in that? But if these advances are true, then the output becomes greater than the input, and suddenly you have a viable energy source.

Does the gained energy take the form of the neutrinos released by the reaction?

Or are the neutrinos the only “waste product” of the reaction?

Or is helium the waste product?

This is so fucking cool.
