A post on Live Science says that China has created a $1 trillion ‘artificial sun’ fusion reactor capable of heating plasma to a temperature five times hotter than the sun. The research is intended to find a nearly unlimited source of clean energy. Or burn the planet to cinders.
What the worst that could happen, short of incinerating Asia? What other bad science ideas can you think of? A device that generates temperatures colder than deep space or one that creates a pressure zone more crushing than the lowest depths of the sea? What happens next?
