Fusion breaks that trend in the following way.
So, fusion doesn't work on a chain reaction.
There's no chain reaction.
Zero.
So, this means it cannot physically exponentiate away on you, because it works...
And actually, this is why stars โ by the way, we know this already.
It's why stars are so stable, why most stars and suns are so stable.
It's because they are regulated through their own temperature and their heating.
Because what's happening is not that there's some probability of this exponentiating away.
It's that the energy that's being released by fusion basically is keeping the fire hot.
Okay.
And these tend to be โ and when it comes down to thermodynamics and things like this, there's a reason, for example, it's pretty easy to keep a constant temperature like in an oven and things like this.
It's the same thing in fusion.
So this is actually one of the features that I would argue fusion breaks the โ
breaks the trend of this is that it's it has more energy intensity than than than fission on on paper but it actually does not have the consequences of control and sort of rapid release of the energy because it's actually it the physical system just doesn't want to do that yeah we're gonna have to look elsewhere for the weapons with which we fight world war three fair enough uh so
So plasma is a phase of matter or state of matter.
So unfortunately, our schools don't... It's like, I'm not sure why this is the case, but all children learn the three phases of matter, right?
And what does this mean?
So we'll take water as an example.
So if it's cold, it's ice.
