Also, when the high temperature was achieved, the Z machine was releasing more energy than was originally put in, something that usually occurs only in nuclear reactions.

Are you suggesting their termometers failed several times?I'm not sure it qualifies as a breakthrough until they actually know how they did it......

Interesting. Hopefully, its not an error.We need seperate human-only games for MP/PBEM that dont include the over-simplifications required to have a good AI

Re: Possible breakthrough in energy source research!
It was only 2 billion degrees, but that's also pretty hot of course, would scare off all but the most experienced sauna bathersOriginally posted by binTravkin

To be honest, I suspect the energy output was just an artefact of some sorts, but if it's real:

Oops, me bad
Well, they said they repeated it several times, so I doubt it's an artefact.

What I mean by "artefact" is not that they made an error or misread the data, but rather that there probably is some flaw in the method. If so, they will get the same (flawed) results even if they repeat the experiment a thousand times.Originally posted by binTravkin

We'll just have to wait for them to figure out what the hell was happening

Well, if a flaw results in yet unseen and unable to being explained by existing theoretical basis, results, then this flaw is a discovery itself.-- What history has taught us is that people do not learn from history.

Anyone can explain to me, how in nuclear reactions, more energy are releasing than the originally put in?"One thing that puzzles scientists is that the high temperature was achieved after the plasma’s ions should have been losing energy and cooling. Also, when the high temperature was achieved, the Z machine was releasing more energy than was originally put in, something that usually occurs only in nuclear reactions."
Thanks!blehComment

But please!Anyone can explain to me, how in nuclear reactions, more energy are releasing than the originally put in?
Thanks!
