Bob Sykes: “I could support that. May I choose the emigrants?”

Regrettably not. It must be a scientific process, conducted by scientists wielding calipers. There is hardly any role for discretion in this sort of business. The calipers will speak to us if only we will let them. Shalom.

The payoff for fusion research is so huge if it works, I’m in favor of funding it, but there’s no doubt that it’s been a huge disappointment so far. There are those like Scott Locklin who maintain that the wrong approach is being used, and there might be something to that.

“mass emigration” ??

I could support that. May I choose the emigrants?

PS. 1,000 people crossed the border en masse at El Paso alone yesterday, mostly Cubans (?), Venezuelans, and Nicaraguans. This supposedly the largest mass crossing on record.

We are running at over 2 million illegal immigrants per year, and another 700 thousand plus legal immigrants.

I endorse nuclear fusion as I endorse walkable cities, bullet trains, flying cars, mass emigration, and women’s liberation from Corporate America and American Government, because it’s futuristic and cool, but let’s take a step back and acknowledge that the reason that the publications feel comfortable talking about nuclear fusion and not nuclear fission is because nuclear fusion doesn’t present a credible, imminent threat to the international banking dynasties and their Great Reset World Order.

Be careful about the details! Physicist Sabine Hossenfelder had a video a while back on claims that a tokamak fusion device had reached “net energy gain”. It turned out that they had referred only to part of the system, conveniently ignoring the additional energy required to create the necessary magnetic fields and run the cooling pumps.

It is like claiming wind-power is free — while ignoring the high costs of building & erecting a bird-whacker in the first place.

I believe is project was originally called Shiva for many decades ago the amount of money that they put in the fuse in research over a period Of decades as resulted very little results when they say that they’re getting almost as energy out as they are putting into it that’s usually for a period Of less than a second perhaps even only a million or microsecond so Fusion research has been at a dead end for long. Of time ask yourself if it’s worth it
