Members TampaYankee Posted October 8, 2013 Members Share Posted October 8, 2013 Not in my lifetime, in the lab, nor in my children's or their's in everyday practice. The problem is very difficult and up to this point has required stars to create in a sustained manner. TotallyOz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamSmith Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 It is only that the labs overlooked essential first steps. (1) Clone Oppenheimer and Bethe. (2) Proceed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamSmith Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 (3) Keep Teller far away. Well up above the tropostrata There is a region dark and stellar Where, on a streak of anti-matter, Lived Dr. Edward Anti-Teller. Remote from Fusion's origin He lived unguessed and unawares With all his anti-kith and kin And kept macassars on his chairs. One morning, idling by the sea, He spied a tin of monstrous girth That bore three letters: AEC. Out stepped a visitor from Earth. Then, shouting gladly o'er the sands, Met two who in their alien ways Were like as lentils. Their right hands Clasped, and the rest was gamma rays. 'Perils of Modern Living,' Harold P.
