Nuclear Fusion Energy

They could use that on my panigale as that gets mega hot

 

I used to work at the nearby RAL facility, some of the scientist I worked with with were intellectually brilliant, however mad as bloody hatstands! Very 'special' individuals!

 

I once asked the head of the particle physics dept to give me the basics....Big mistake...

 

Things you can’t comprehend or measure his other things that you can’t comprehend or measure to create something that you can’t comprehend Or measure.

 

Yup - and they get funding for it....

 

Wait till they start using Dilithium crystals, Scotty will be regenerated too.

 

There used to be a lot more of these people....

 

I’m not sure I like the idea of them building an exhaust for what is basically a controlled thermonuclear reaction on a budget which probably amounts to less money than Ducati budgeted for developing the exhaust on the last Panigale

 

Well it won't be less than Ducati have spent on engine paint thats for sure.

 

My son is a theoretical particle physicist - every now and then I check out his research and can't even understand the titles

 

I've been reading books and listening to online lectures on quantum physics at least twice a week for years and I'm still only marginally less baffled than I was when I started.

As Prof Brian Greene points out, it simply doesn't accord with our classical understanding of how the world works or at least appears to work on large scales, and any early hominid that sat around on the African savannah thinking too deeply about such things got eaten by leopards, so we never evolved the ability.

 

The budget is what I can't figure. Potentially the planet saving advance in energy production, and Boris spends more on wallpaper.
It'd buy a journeyman premier League centre back.

 

Same here, and it is amazing stuff...as a simple introduction everyone should watch the double slit experiment... this makes the weirdness accessible and understandable to a certain degree!

 

The guy in the picture there. Richard Feynman. Read his books. Six Easy Pieces. He has other books too. This guy can help you. He also has a set if physics books which are wonderful. Mr Feynman, for me, is quite simply the best teacher.

 

When I was working with these types, It was clear to me that if you understood the subject matter, you really saw (even had to see) the world in a very different way to most other people.
Bazinga!
