Will Nuclear Fusion Technology Save Us?

1. how does society deal with this, without a dictatorship or war, if people will always vote for what they think gives them more ?
2. Nope until we kill Islam and socialism!
   
   BTW - why we don't use neutrons instead of protons in fusion like we did in nuclear reactor?
3. u idiot its not atom its nucleus which combine .hahahahaha what a mf idiot .u know nothing
4. No. We are already fucked. Fukashima is the final nail in the coffin for all life on Earth!
5. Optimistic expectations for fusion are based on ideal conditions. In 1976, the Journal of Applied Physics defined 18 energy loss terms that were left out of the "back of the envelope" equation first expressed. "Fusion" has said the exact same thing for 60 years. Trillions "and another decade will get us there". Fusion is a total fraud and rat hole for overpaid techies. POX on Truth haters.
6. Brilliant Channel! - you got the knowledge geeza!
7. One megawatt is enough for a happy sustainable life of a human in its current biological form. A really luxurious life, might I add. We may not need that much to be happy, you can optimize this number a lot. But it's a good round number for working with populations.
   You put the problem of sustaining our needs and population as if it is some kind of hard problem, but it's really not.
   We have already found out how to control population growth, we aren't rats. In fact, we kinda have a problem of no growth, but it's a whole other topic.
   Although it is true that in our current society we tend to overuse avalable resourses, I'd say it comes from our missunderstanding of our psychology and our current culture of consumerism. A lot of studies have shown that after a certain point(about 25k $ per yer i think) happines doesnt increase. So can limit our consumption and still be happy.
8. fusion isn't unlimited tho
9. i LOVE THIS GUY!
10. you can get al the way from Helium to @ least iron atoms directly from Fusion!
11. We don't need to worry, Illuminati already had conferences for these problems.
12. I love you Sharkee!
13. If we could find a way to take that unlimited amount of energy, story enough it in a single point to were that energy would create matter, could we have an unlimited energy supply with unlimited resources there by solving one problem. But then we still have to deal with the amount of area we can cover, and that could be solved with space travel and colonization.
14. Consider the big energy picture of the Earth: Sun sends energy to Earth as photons and neutrinos. Some neutrino energy may be absorbed by the interior while sunlight is absorbed by photosynthetic life that has evolved to absorb and store solar energy. Surface life has also evolved to transmit stored energy underground, so you could say the Earth has evolved a mechanism for capturing solar energy and internalizing it as core heat.
    
    What does the planet do with this core energy/heat? 1) powers a magnetic shield that protects the surface mechanism for energy-capture and internalization 2) powers flows of magma that drive tectonic shifts and the building of new land and pushing up mountain ranges such as the Himalayas. So, compared with Venus, Earth has evolved to cool its surface by absorbing energy underground and utilizing it to create altitude differentiation despite the weathering trend that otherwise erodes land into the oceans.
    
    But what happens to this chain of energy if artificial energy sources are added to the point of overheating the biosphere and killing off the surface-energy capture system? At that point, the core would gradually cool, the magnetic field would cease to shield the ground from cosmic rays, and the desertified land would either erode into the oceans or the water from the oceans would seep into cavities left when the core cooled.
    
    If any life would survive, it would have to be underground and presumably the land above the underground oceans would gradually erode and collapse forcing the water back to the surface, where it could gradually begin to re-evolve photosynthetic life, which could re-initiate the process of capturing surface-energy and storing it underground. When enough fossil fuel deposits formed, gravitational pressure and neutrino absorption could bring the core back to a molten state after a very long time. This would result in new tectonic movement and the formation of new mountain ranges, which would dam atmospheric water vapor and cause it to rain down, so land trees and plants would flourish allowing ocean life to evolve into land-dwelling species, and eventually a new intelligent species could evolve to harness the power of fusion to once again undermine the balance of energy, killing off the biosphere and setting into motion the whole sequence of core-cooling once again.
15. What a brilliant channel and what a brilliant guy!
16. deploy the nuclear fusion and let good artificial intelligence rule the world, because humans are stupid.
17. Great video as always, stay awesome dude!
18. You forgot to mention one thing: Nuclear fusion creates atoms. This means that nuclear fusion creates both energy and other resources, such as Helium, Magnesium, etc. I don't think we would just throw away those atoms created with nuclear fusion. Now, what happens when you put them into account? You should've considered that.
19. Why not relate unlimited wants and population rate to the existing believe systems in our world and see what are the results? ;o)
20. I love your videos! Where were you when I was in high school? What I would have given to have a teacher like you!
