What Goes into a Shot at the National Ignition Facility?

Показать описание
Take a peek inside the National Ignition Facility, the world’s largest and most energetic laser, to see how we develop and execute some of the most complex experiments conducted anywhere.

This one-of-a-kind facility was funded by the National Nuclear Security Administration to keep the nation’s nuclear stockpile safe, secure and effective. We also use the extreme conditions produced by NIF to study the science behind fusion ignition and to explore astrophysical phenomena such as supernovae, black holes and planetary interiors.

Lots of negative comments here... but I found this informative and well done. Those who want depth can find it elsewhere, that is not the intent of this vid.

The only clip I was interested in looked kind of like a cheap after effects thing...

What was the experiment? What's the purpose? What's the wavelength?
Sure it looks neat, but please give us something more substantial.

Have different shapes been tried other than a spherical ball?

This is marketing video designed to keep the money flowing

I take it that the only reason this video was made was to convince the Chinese that we were somehow ahead of them in flashy shiny science stuff; it is on the painful side to watch for an American.

Super light-headed, fluff piece with zero science and endless pictures of attractive people in front of cool-looking scientific hardware.
This is indistinguishable from a Chevy Volt television ad.
Could you please abandon the hipster attitude and actually reach out to the public with some educational matter for once?
