8:09 Why should we care?

🧬 DESCRIPTION 🧬
▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
#Fusion is the future of energy, period. The best way we know (today) to create viable fusion is using a tokamak (similar to a stellarator) to fuse hydrogen plasma and make (functionally unlimited) clean energy using regular old seawater. There are teams of engineers, scientists, and experts all over the world working to make fusion a reality, and these two breakthroughs are HUGE steps in the right direction.

First breakthrough: JET the Joint European Torus in England sustained fusion for 5 seconds – a new world record!
Second breakthrough: VCT Variable Configuration #Tokamak (TCV á France) used Google’s DeepMind AI to make their fusion tokamak manage the superheated plasma in ways better than the human brain ever could.
