Gorth Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Lockheed Martin's new fusion reactor can change humanity forever. Skunk Works Reveals Compact Fusion Reactor Details. While I do believe fusion reactors have a future, I sometimes wonder if the safety of their operation isn't idealised a bit? Last time I checked, plasma is usually something hot and unpleasant that you don't want to lose control of, say one of the supermagnetic containment fields breaks? It may not leave a legacy with a generation spanning halflife, but I'm sure it's still unpleasant to experience up close “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

I wouldn't believe anything Lockheed-Martin has to say about fusion. The whole reactor project has almost all appearances of a scam. Lockheed Martin's new fusion reactor can change humanity forever.

DARPA's Chipset Runs an Astonishing 1 Trillion Cycles Per Second. Good thing I didn't upgrade my PC yet! Feel free to correct me, but todays bottle neck isn't so much individual chips as the entire bus architecture limiting the speed at which chips can communicate? A problem that has persisted on PC's since the 386/486 days when cpu (and gpu) speeds ran away from motherboard/chip set speeds?

Rosbjerg Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Time is an emergent factor of quantum entanglement. And it exists only for observers inside the universe... The experiment involves the creation of a toy universe consisting of a pair of entangled photons and an observer that can measure their state in one of two ways. in the first, the observer measures the evolution of the system by becoming entangled with it. In the second, a god-like observer measures the evolution against an external clock which is entirely independent of the toy universe. The experimental details are straightforward. The entangled photons each have a polarisation which can be changed by passing it through a birefringent plate. In the first set up, the observer measures the polarisation of one photon, thereby becoming entangled with it. He or she then compares this with the polarisation of the second photon. The difference is a measure of time. In the second set up, the photons again both pass through the birefringent plates which change their polarisations. However, in this case, the observer only measures the global properties of both photons by comparing them against an independent clock. In this case, the observer cannot detect any difference between the photons without becoming entangled with one or the other. And if there is no difference, the system appears static. In other words, time does not emerge. Fortune favors the bald. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future.
