North Korea Claims to Have Nuclear Fusion

[halls]

[citation][nom]Boxa786[/nom]Love how the media hate instantly bash N Korea. I dont support anything but my own two leggs, I simply keep an open mind at all times, and in this case would all the media and every other critic to be proven wrong. Esp the "we rule all" american way of living.[/citation]

You haven't read much about North Korea and Kim Jong Il, have you?

somehow... even if it was true... im kinda expecting some kind of tragedy to come out of this (some kind of giant cloud of smoke in the air or something even worse...)

but if it is true (which i really doubt)... then... thats actually quite impressive... but a lot of physicists are gonna be soo annoyed.

Maybe the population was so starved that their collective stomachs collapsed hard enough to make a self-sustaining reaction?

Ooh.. that was probably wrong. Probably.

Sure and I ride a rocket to work.

[drutort]

maybe they created it in a virtual world but in reality? they should stop fooling themselves

 

[Strider-Hiryu_79]

I heard they have flying cars now that are programmed to automatically detonate when exceeding the perimeter of North Korea.

yes my balls

I see what you did there

Damn that's sad. The scientific community dismisses n koreas alleged accomplishments as just a small scale experiment. I'd like to see them do better. At least n Korea us trying, unlike the us which still relies heavily in coal burning technology.

Unless this was seen in action, a claim would still be a claim and can be regarded as BS.

Human's naturally fear what they do not know. Seeing as how North Korea does not accept visitors, it makes people who "do not know" feel better to dismiss it ignorantly as a failure.

Same said people will ring their necks multiple times if North Korea were to provide concrete evidence of their alleged achievement in cold fusion.

Boy, you are in the dark, aren't you? Knowing North Korea, someone probably just lit a match and called it an "Artificial Sun."

I call BS on that...and they can pick up ALL the cards.

See them do better? How about the LHC? Sure it's suffering problems but the fact that it was built still dwarfs anything NK can do.

Oh and then there is ITER which is being built, and the fusion reactors we do have but use more power then they make.

Oh and there is the fact that NK's fission bomb test was rated to be at 1 kt and the bomb's dropped on Japan were 15-20 kt.

And there is the fact that all scientists say fusion power is decades away.

Reality owns you.

 

[Gin Fushicho]

If they successfully made fusion they would not hesitate to use to make an army and attack people. I don't believe them.

I guess it will hit Ebay pretty soon, I assume the price will be cheap as always from asians...

Last time I checked, Europe was not a country.

 

[victomofreality]

this will be super cool if it's true...

I enjoyed the local disaster with "clean coal"
Whilst also enjoying the power that doesn't come from the nuclear power plant a few miles away...

---UPDATE---
New reports are just emerging right now...
The reactor IS real and does indeed produce vast amounts of energy.
Incidentally the process and technology was largely developed by Kim Jong Il, and his uncle, Men Tally Il.
