Death Star (Laser Beams)
This was that cult, and the prisoners said it had always existed and always would exist, hidden in distant wastes and dark places all over the world until the time when the great priest Cthulhu, from his dark house in the mighty city of R'lyeh under the waters, should rise and bring the earth again beneath his sway.

I wonder how it's going to release a lot of that energy. One dollar says that, assuming the facility is successful with creating the fusion reaction, there will be a 400 yard crater in it's place shortly afterwards. Creating a miniature star ON our planet always seemed like a smart idea to me.The intense energy creates temperatures of 100 million degrees and pressures billions of times greater than Earth's atmospheric pressure, forcing the hydrogen nuclei to fuse and a colossal amount of energy to be released.

It's beyond interesting... the future of humanity truly hinges on experiments such as these.
Where did you read about new elements forming though? That's really not possible.Congratulations on outsmarting hundreds of physics PhDs. Perhaps you should write to them, I'm sure they hadn't considered that containing a H-bomb could be a potential issue.I wonder how it's going to release a lot of that energy.

They did consider it, when they decided that thermo-nuclear reactions made the most effective mass destruction weapon humanity now possesses. Originally Posted by Xei
