Comment Re:WTF is ITER? (Score 1) 180

ITER is the international fusion reaction reaction, its being built over the next 8 years in the south of france, and should hold a mixture of tritium and deutrium gases at a hot enough temperature and high enough pressure to generate more fusion power output than the electricity need to create the plasma, ITER should run consistantly in the breakeven range of fusion power. That said, scientists and not created a system for extracting the energy from the plasma yet, and true energy generation is left from the next reactor after ITER, currently called DEMO, which should demonstrate useful power generation to the electricity grid. ITER is the successor to JET the joint european torus which was the first reaction to show breakeven energy generation.

Quantum electrodynamics came first, you can hardly unify QED, QCD and the weak force, before QED been inverted. Actually Dr Adbus Salam with Steven Weinberg and Sheldon_Glashow , unified QED with the weak force. Grand unification hasn't been done correctly, although alams model with Jogesh Pati, SU(4) by SU(2)_left by SU(2)_right by U(1), is still very well regarded as a potential grand unification model.

Comment Dealing with radiation? (Score 1) 78

How many generations have the worms been up there for? I would theorise that under cosmic, solar and van allen radiation there is strong evolution pressure to deal better with radiation and thus free radicals, wheen in space. This would lead any organism evolved in space, to have, better anti-aging mechanism than earth bound mortals. I would think this would even work on humans, and would think that human from the year 3000, who had 40 generations in space would be much longer living than earth humans.
