Well Joe, I guess I can say that I have a good basis in M, but have done some D and I as well. Some of theM, I and D work was related to E as well. I also have taken (and applied via work) courses on Micro and Macro Economics at the Undergrad and Graduate levels. If you learn one thing from this co...

China's GDP is not comparable to the US GDP. What do you mean saying "comparable"? Not "the same order of magnitude"? 7 trillions vs. 14 trillions What does mean "Yes, for now, they are gaining"? Not groth rate of smaller economics is higher? Not predictable what will happen in near ten years? I wi...

What you do not understand is that China is not what you think it is. We began talking after your statement that China is so resources constrained that can not make several thousands nuke warheads together with their delivery means. That is not so. China's GDP is comparable with USA's GDP with the ...

See? Told ya. Not ya but www.gao.gov http://www.gao.gov/special.pubs/longterm/debt/budgetdebt.html amount that the federal government spends for interest on its debt is directly tied to those interest rates. Under CBO's January 2012 baseline budget projections, debt held by the public would be 62 p...

Joe, you know some physics. You do not know economics. At all. Human can not know everything. But will you still deny the trend by which Chinese GDP will ever overtake American? Will that happen in 2016, 2022 or a little late. Will you also deny the lack of Chinese debts and existence of huge USA’s...

For me there is not a big difference between 2016 and 2022.
6 years does not matter if to consider history.

Maybe your facts are not actually facts. So what do you think of the Chinese Police Buildup? Not actually facts? What was China GDP (second economics) in 2011? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(nominal) Answer is 7,181,000 millions of USD. What was USA GDP (first economics) tha...

They are forgotten today, while TOKAMAK concept is still alive. Amazing what billions $ of stolen cash can do to keep a loser going. Notice that no one is working on toks with their own money. That should tell him something. It won't, since he can't hear anything that slights his god-tok, but it sh...

And there is the so called Troyon limit showing that TOKAMAK machines should run stably at beta<0.4. Which is another way of saying that toks are unstable unless under-driven. Absolutely stable is only solid state. And there is not any possibility of creation of absolutely stable at any conditions ...

...and high confinement time does not imply stability. If so, please explain what does imply the high confinement time? Very low beta. Stability and confinement time are in direct dependence. And yes, unlike all other concepts TOKAMAK theory is better developed. And there is the so called Troyon li...

For your reference fusion research history is the history of attempts to find stability conditions in satisfying of which long enough confinement is possible.
