it's so hot that if you touch it you would stop being biology and start being physics.

The Reblog of the Ken

Either thats a really old post or its just bullshit. We have had colored fusion reactor video footage for a decade, probably more.

This is even in slow motion, very pretty https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhHsOwLdCu4

My pet peeve is relative timestamps

[–] SharkAttak@kbin.melroy.org 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Slow motion? But in the title says high speed...

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The camera is high speed (up to 20000fps according to the video description) and is being played back in slow motion.

What is the pulsing near the base, does anyone know?

[–] Blum0108@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

The firefly bits? Probably part of the reactor wall getting knocked off and vaporizing.

[–] NABDad@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

Please. Recording in color.

We just managed to get my wife's mother to use "people of color". Don't give her an excuse to backslide!

It’s so hot it’ll probably overcook your meat loaf.

[–] lemmyman@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Just like grandma used to make

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 3 days ago

GOOD point.

How dense is it? Might not burn you if there's low thermal mass.

[–] Olgratin_Magmatoe@slrpnk.net 4 points 3 days ago

I'd assume it's enough to burn you, given the plan is to use this to heat water and turn a turbine.

We never know until someone tries that.
