    Teller was crazy. Very expensively so.

    Notwithstanding that opinion, vastly smarter than anyone here I'll bet.

    2000 tons? Doesn't sound very "compact" to me.

    Sure, but I shudder to think what "really big" means to these guys, if "compact" means a 2000 ton niblet.

    The article notes that it comes down to 200 tons with stronger magnets.

    I can't say how FocusFusion compares. In its final form, fingers crossed, it's spherical and a metre or two in diameter.

    Really big is slightly larger than Jupiter, where stellar fusion processes can begin to take over and it all gets easier. We suppose.

    So they've got a 200 ton model? Or is this purely speculative?

    Pardon my skepticism, but the fusion people have been very adept at building castles in the air lo, these last 50 years. They just haven't been equally adept at living in them.

    Amen to that. I once took one of my heavy-laser colleagues to task about the futility of inertial confinement. It was a bit like I'd farted in the confessional

    Upon what premise did you base your critique?
