France, Six Nations Sign Accord on $12.9 Billion Iter Reactor

[Bull]

Experimental fusion reactor?

How can you build something when the theory (for cold fusion) has not even been proved? The last time I had heard about Fusion the guy was discredited........

If anyone has any links regarding this i would appreciate it.

Read all about it here...http://www.iter.org/

The billions being spent on this new Fusion would be better spent on gold plating on toilets, at least people would then know where the billions were going.

Are you pissed of bcoz pakistan is not involved.

Who knows, in the future maybe anti-matter will work out to be better than a fusion reactor.

You mean the same anti matter used in the Warp core!!

How was having man jump up and down on the moon contribute much? And what if the trillion dollars spent on the manned mission have been used in developing new vaccines, drugs and into improvements into renewable energies?

Human beings are enquisite by nature,and thats what has made them evolve in such a manner.

If columbus want enquisite enoough to go on a voyage to find a sea route to india ,America wouldnt have been found.

If Galelio wasnt enquiste about earth,still we would have been thinking the earth is flat.

If Einstien wasnt enquisite about why the apple fell down on his head rather than float around, we wouldnt have let us known what gravity is all about.

So its good to spend on research or to try out new things as you never know where the answer lies.

Antimatter is thought to be the exact same as regular matter, only the charges of the particles are the opposite of what one would expect to find. For example, normal electrons have a negative charge, but antimatter electrons have a positive charge and are known as positrons. The likewise is true for protons which would have a negative charge, and neutrons which remain neutral. When we combine an anti-particle with any other normal particle, the two release a tremondous amount of energy. This energy is the production of two extremely high energy gamma photons. One kilogram of antimatter could be used to create a 43 megaton explosion, which is larger than several thousand nuclear bombs. It has been the science fiction dream to harness this energy for space travel in place of nuclear or fossil fuel power. A speck of antimatter weighing one milligram would, in combonation with one milligram of matter, deliver more energy than two tons of rocket fuel. But, even if we produce anti-protons at five times our current rate (Fermilab's goal in the next five years) and were able to store them, it would still take 200,000 years to make that one milligram of antimatter.

Yups matter-antimatter i have once made a post about this and on evolution theory.
everything in this universe is made of particles, including our brain.
Each particle constitutes to balance out the environment and universal energy theory.
Our brain is just developed to analyse it by mutual particles forming a network giving a maximum processing power than any other species for survial and being stable.
very complicated issue but our brain is 3 doimensional , and we cant think 4dimensional.
Thats our problem, the day we will evolve to 4 dimension will clear a lot of things and that is time.

Once a spokeperson of DAE India said we are thankful to international community for the invitaion, it saved us 2 decades of research.
