    Brexit, for once some facts.

    it was a bit telling when Lavrov gave a press conference a couple of days ago. After BBC Steve Rozenberg asked a couple of obvious questions, it was the turn of the Chinese Xinhua. He just started his question then his microphone got turned off by his minders. Lavrov looked puzzled for a minute...

    he has, as he was left with little choice after the West and Ukraine refused to yield. He knows all he can do is regime change and not occupy. Hollow victory. Over time, regime that he'll put in place will be replaced and the new generation will reject his style of leadership. After the coffins...

    I have no doubt that we don't know what to do with Putin because he does not fit into our idea of world leaders, so we don't take him seriously until he did what he said he would do. We still don't know so we just play for time. Ban a few more Russians from coming here as if it would have some...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    A few weeks ago, we went to Moscow to threaten the Russians with dire consequences if they put as much as a toecap into Ukraine's territory. Now they did it. So what do we do? We ban 3 individuals: Gennady Timchenko and Boris and Igor Rotenberg to come here. it's toothless, really.

    assuming the police enquiry would not take very long and Charles still wants to submit himself to common laws, the most he would incur is a fine. Don't you think?

    the original text: The company develops equipment for nuclear fusion reactors, including a key device that effectively collects heat with a temperature of over 100 million degrees Celsius. should have the word 'with' (a temperature) replaced by the word 'at'. In tokamaks, the D-D fusion...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    there is no reason to think that fusion plants are going to be immense. We found a few ways of making fusion happen, some methods need large installations like ICF or tokamak, some don't like lattice confinement fusion. The danger is in putting such powerful technology into the brain of an...

    I suppose the rule of thumb is we double the output and confinement time every decade or so. At this rate, it should be there in about a century or two, not much time for the human species to evolve.

    The biggest obstacle is confinement of the very hot and unstable plasma. Maybe we should take the next tokamak into space. China has a much bigger stake in fusion because of the amount they spend of imported oil and gas. Their achievements are usually ignored by Western media. I reckon they will...
