    IDK what I expected a fusion reactor to look like but "big blob of coral" was low on the list

      There's also "spiky ball" and "I can't believe its not a particle accelerator" fusiond reactor shapes as well!

    Amazing that it's possible to contain plasma heated to millions of degrees within inches of magnets that need to be kept at cryogenic temperatures

      10 times the temperature of the sun's core

      :what-the-hell:

      That's pretty mind-blowing
