Foolish Scientists

[2tallbill]

There are always going to be nutso scientists who say that we could some day,
drill a hole to the center of the Earth, or build a fusion reactor, or Terraform
Venus. I just hope that we stop spending money on such hair brained schemes.

You can find anything on the internet



Build a Fusion Reactor (at home)

For those who want to try to build a home fusion reactor should probably
consider drilling holes in their heads for ventilation. If 7 or 8 holes is not
enough to get you to stop planning a fusion reactor, then keep drilling holes
until you decide that it's a really bad idea to continue.

The temperature for a Deuterium-tritium fusion reactions require temperatures
in excess of 100 million degrees Kelvin. If you believe that there is a do it yourself guide
available on the internet telling you how to do this in the privacy of your own home
then you probably need several holes in your head to allow the silliness to seep out.

This is what happens if you drop a nuclear device on a country and then
they allow the mutants to become scientists.

Japanese scientists want to be first to drill into the Earth's mantle

For those who don't know about the dangers of drilling a hole through the Earths crust
to the Mantle should read about the Yellowstone Super Volcano here and realize if they
want to drill through the Earths crust it would be smarter to start where it's the thinnest
like in Yellowstone.
