Hey listen, you don't have to concentrate on fusion. Yes fusion would be great, but unless there is basically some sort of revolution to bring it on, we won't see it so soon.
One other option is traveling-wave reactor (TWR). It is in theory a small nuclear device that can go on for 30 years on nuclear waste. Maybe people should push for that? Because it seems it would be very safe to use, non-polluting and it could perhaps very quickly replace all the (polluting) power sources we have. It also seems to be around the corner and easy to develop. Because every time you hear plans for drilling on Europa, or diving on Europa or driving on Titan or even peeps living on Mars or any other complicated deep space mission you can be sure they're talking about developing TWR. So it's doable if they plan missions with it. Is it not? But why is it not here? Is it that perhaps that oil companies are afraid of it? If you ask me that's the main reason we don't see drilling on Europa, because there is a fear people on Earth would start to use it as well and burning oil would drop. But if that's the case why aren't entrepreneurs working on it? Like Musk? Why doesn't he develop it? Maybe it's too expensive? Maybe nobody in private sector wants /doesn't know how to handle nuclear waste in that sort of manner.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
Sounds very interesting

I found, Science Porn, PAYDIRT!!!
On a Saturday night too, I should at least get a science fan award??? I introduce to you (unless you already knew) .... The Interactive Geology Project Library https://vimeo.com/coloradoigp Timelapse of Western Interior Seaway http://https://vimeo.com/144552668 A brief history of Colorado through time http://https://vimeo.com/143654356 AND for those of you interested in North America timeline, this is awesome! Privacy settings won't allow for video shown here but if you click the box it'll take u to the video. https://vimeo.com/84255718
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite. Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment. Quote:Some people deserve hell. I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

Here's a very brief introduction: The guy that is speaking is nuclear physicist Taylor Wilson who has a company that is trying to realize it EDIT: aww why won't livelieak video show like the youtube ones? https://www.liveleak.com/view?i=663_1496312743 Also according to it's wiki article it seems that many nations are apparently working on it's development https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molten_salt_reactor

New way to track human origins--track the DNA of worm infestations in poo.
No wonder Vikings were so grumpy. http://sciencenordic.com/dna-study-vikin...-parasites

well, that shoots a specific Viking fantasy . . . .
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
