Ohhhh great, something to make more car keys, pens, staplers, remote controls, taxi cabs, local buses and cell phones disappear when you need them!

Experiments will begin in June 2009, with the first significant results expected between 2010 and 2012.

mayans predicted the 2012 laser fusion apocalypse!

did they not see what the same experiment did in the spiderman films?????

so if it goes wrong we will be another black hole.

192 Giant Laser beams firing at a tiny pellet of hydrogen fuel will not create a black hole. You need an enormous amount of mass in a very small radius that its escape velocity is greater than the velocity of light. A single pellet of hydrogen is missing about 10^100000000000E the mass to do this.

Don't listen to Mr. Wizard. Black holes are made of sweet sweet candy.

A pea-sized spherical capsule is filled with fusion fuel
This comprises a 150-microgram mix of deuterium and tritium
The NIF laser set-up pulses for 20 billionths of a second
For that time, it generates about 500 trillion watts
That's equivalent to five million million 100-watt light bulbs
All the laser power is focused on to the capsule's surface
The fuel is compressed to a density 100 times that of lead
It is heated to more than 100 million degrees Celsius
Under these extreme conditions, fusion is initiated

Neat! But will it get a webmaster laid?
