"Dans un espace fermé et éclairé par un feu, des prisonniers, enchaînés depuis leur enfance, le corps et la tête immobilisés, regardent défiler, sur la paroi de la grotte, des ombres et perçoivent des échos de voix..." Platon
Que la solution aux problèmes actuels du monde puisse surgir d'un de ces laboratoires militaires qui prépare les armes de destruction massive, n'est ce pas un drôle de coïncidence? Comme si la vie et la mort étaient étroitement liées jusque dans les conjonctions de la destinée. Qu'en ferra l'homme? Saura t'il exploiter cette main tendue du destin pour précipiter son apocalypse ou pour trouver une nouvelle piste et s'intégrer dans la communauté de l'ellipse?

The unexpectedly hot output, if its cause were understood and harnessed, could eventually mean that smaller, less costly nuclear fusion plants[2] would produce the same amount of energy as larger plants. "
“At first, we were disbelieving,” says Sandia project lead Chris Deeney. “We repeated the experiment many times to make sure we had a true result and not an ‘Ooops’!”
"Ordinarily, in non-nuclear reactions, output energies are less — not greater — than the total input energies. More energy had to be getting in to balance the books, but from where could it come?"
"Second, and more unusually, high ion temperatures were sustained after the plasma had stagnated — that is, after its ions had presumably lost motion and therefore energy and therefore heat — as though yet again some unknown agent was providing an additional energy source to the ions."
"Sandia’s Z machine normally works like this: 20 million amps of electricity pass through a small core of vertical tungsten wires finer than human hairs. The core is about the size of a spool of thread. The wires dissolve instantly into a cloud of charged particles called a plasma."
Et en plus c'est comme au cinéma!

Crystals rule
“Until our work, virtually every diagnostic on the Z facility simply measured the luminous self-emission from the z-pinch mass as it assembled on-axis and radiated,” says Sinars. “We now have been able to observe plasma stages at any point in the process, not just the final stage when the plasma is radiating x rays.”
"The images provide quantifiable information about where the plasma mass is located, whether instabilities exist at any moment, what the wavelength and amplitude of such instabilities are, and where these instabilities are spatially correlated over large distances."
What the Sinars group saw
"The images showed that wires at the center of the high-energy machine do not uniformly disintegrate, as was once thought. Current passing through the wires at first heats and melts them as expected, but only a portion of the metal becomes plasma. Because plasma is so much more conductive than the heated liquid metal “cores,” much of the electrical current is diverted from heating the wires and instead flows in the tenuous plasma surrounding the dense wire cores. The plasma — continually swept inward toward the center by the magnetic forces acting on the array — is replenished with material from the dense wire cores. The dense cores persist for relatively extended periods of time, eventually burn through, and only then are swept inward."
“The non-simultaneous arrival of the mass on the axis is believed to be the limiting factor on the peak radiation power achievable using wire-array z-pinches, so it is critical for us to understand exactly how the wire array mass assembles on the axis,” says Sinars. “This information is critical to improving our still-primitive understanding of why z-pinches work as well as they do.”
"Z produces one to two million joules of X-rays in 100 to 200 terawatt bursts[3]. The crystals reflect at either 6.648 or 2.015 angstroms."

Et si en plus les gammas servent à découper la réalité pour basculer dans notre jumeau énantiomorphe rétrochrone, c'est que la porte des étoiles n'est plus très loin.
Je veux aller de l'alpha à l'oméga sans passer par les gammas.
Je veux connaître les multiples univers, disséquer chaque instant de bonheur à l'envers.
Je veux sentir la vie m'étreindre à l'infini et faire jaillir l'émergence de l'harmonie.
Je veux appréhender le monde, ses sondes et les humanités frères.
Je veux connaître ces ports galactiques où s'échange la matière éclectique
Je veux aller de l'oméga à l'alpha sans passer par les gammas!
