Hubbard) Organization: Genstar Rental Electronics, Palo Alto, Ca. Lines: 26 Some people have been raving about how fusion will be acheived soon or how it won't. Well, stop me if I'm wrong, but hasn't this already been acheived some time ago with the shiva laser at AMES? When I was there they had been fusing deuterium for awhile( or so they said, anyway). Perhaps they're raving about commercial plants? By the way, in regards to the photon wavicle discussion doing on, how is everyone so sure that the photon exists in 3 dimensional space during every moment of its travel? Perhaps it 'rotates' in and out of conventional space at a frequency dependant upon its energy level. I guess this might account for its wave-like nature. Then again, maybe I don't know what the heck I'm talking about.. Oh well, just a thought. -- Jordan K. Hubbard @ Genstar Rental Electronics.
