Great Superpower = Great Responsibility
From United Press International, apparently Chinese scientists have failed to heed the dire warning from their pirated copies of Spider-Man 2.
China to test its ‘artificial sun’
| The first plasma discharge from China’s experimental advanced superconducting research center — the so-called “artificial sun” — is set to occur next month.
The discharge, expected about Aug. 15, will be conducted at Science Island in Hefei, in east China’s Anhui Province, the Peoples Daily reported Monday. Scientists told the newspaper a successful test will mean the world’s first nuclear fusion device of its kind will be ready to go into actual operation, the newspaper said. The plasma discharge will draw international attention since some scientists are concerned with risks involved in such a process. But Chinese researchers involved in the project say any radiation will cease once the test is completed. The experiment will take place in a structure made of reinforced concrete, with five-foot-thick walls and a three-foot-thick roof. |
And the Chinese already have a “Science Island”? We don’t even have an Isthmus of Post-Keynesian Economics yet! What is this country coming to?
They may have to do it underwater since the last storm has them floating…
