This little video is really entertaining for me. Obviously, I am no professor and not trained to be anywhere near as smart as him. But talk about jumping the gun and this professor is right on it. It has big value. Just love his magic numbers. But yeah, its a hopeful future he is predicting. So that's OK. But a real scientist would not make such prediction until there was reasonable proof fusion really works and then that ITER is years off being fired up. I wonder if fusion will become a big useless buzz word, like: Turbo or AI. But yeah, good video.
Considering this guy is working with companies on fusion reactors and is a physics professor, he probably has much greater insight to where the tech is going, than any of us.
Well yeah. But in context that's like asking a coach driver how long its going to take to go from Evora to Borba.
I will watch this later. If anyone is interested in this topic and chirality in general and how it links to the rotation of polarised light and the history of how all this was discovered, it's covered in great detail in Asimov's non-fiction book 'The Left Hand of The Electron'. The whole book is a great read tbh. People said similar things regarding Pons & Fleischmann before they were exposed as frauds. As a Physicist myself, in my opinion he is not a fraud, but he does exaggerate sometimes and is optimistic beyond what the current evidence (and lessons from history) strictly allow for.
Now I want to know which episode of Star Trek featured the topic of chirality. I think it was that one where they found that all the sentient, humanoid species had the same ancestor (via genetic seeding)
The one take away I took from the video is what a left handed sugar product could do for all the( a hem) lard arses out there in the world. But there already is one and its called. Stevioside But I ain't eating that and so I am quite happy being a tank arse.
Reminds me of reading about red shift and time dilation back in the day. But to be honest, I never thought about considering it in the quite obvious way, that if I could see a galaxy, it's got to be a time dilated image, and movement as such too.
