Kurzgesagt : "Put simply, it's not a bomb"
US : U N F U N D E D.

[Hoioidoi]

"It's a 10 billion dollar gamble"
Americans spend 9 billion on Halloween each year

[mechanicpluto]

Electromagnet: -269 Celsius
Plasma: 150M Celsius
Temperature difference: pretty much what it feels like to turn the shower handle .001 nanometers

An update for everyone just discovering this amazing channel: we just managed to make a fusion reaction that gave off more energy than we put in! It's not even close to being a viable energy source yet, but it's a huge breakthrough!

[MrLordex]

"Hey Ferb, i know what we're gonna do today"

[brbjndett]

What will come first, commercial fusion or half life 3?

[..]

What is this, a science channel making a video that's not about the US election? What a breath of fresh air!

[gazifahim]

Just saw the news on the breakthrough in fusion reactor energy and how the chances of it being practical have increased significantly hopefully it'll be a reality soon.

[andreyrumming]

4 years later and 100 million degree temps have been achieved for 20 seconds straight, with more improvements on the way. It's 100% possible, it's just tremendously difficult

[Mathias]

I write my thesis for ITER now, not a big part but still quite cool that I can contribute to the project

[randomguy]

"it's not a bomb"
Russia and America: then I don't wanna hear it.

[urluvchild]

the weirdest thing just happened, I was doing my chem homework, started thinking about nuclear power, that led me to this video, which led me to look up fusion reactor progress. Amazingly 3 hour it broke that for the first time scientists actually had a positive net gain energy from a fusion reaction . Absolutely nuts.

[fitrianhidayat]

"it's not a bomb"
That probably only make it harder to get government funding

[papasun]

It was only after I watched this video that I realized Sam Raimi actually researched fusion reactions and didn't just make things up in Spider-Man 2. When Doc Ock talked about "Precious Tritium" and how it was what made his project possible, I thought it was just some imaginary substance. Now I realize that there's serious legitimacy behind it.

[theonionmaster]

We’ve reached a point in society where “can we bottle a star” is a serious question

[JayG_]

I’d love to see the analytics on this video given the recent fusion news.

[anteige]

It's not a bomb.

USA: And like that you've lost me

[pedroivog.s.]

Kurzgesagt: Can we bottle a star?
Dyson sphere: Allow me to introduce myself.

[spacesplaces]

And here we are in Dec 2022 and scientists have for the very first time produced net energy gain with a fusion reaction!
