Re: "HOLY CRAP" doesn't BEGIN to cover it...

In Response To: "HOLY CRAP" doesn't BEGIN to cover it... (Mid7night)


: DUDE. Just.... yeah.

: I'll admit I didn't read the whole thing through, but I hit the highlights
: and read your final theory;

I knew that it wasn't fair of me to ask someone to read it all which is why I added the highlights so that people could skim it and get the gist of it.

But, in my defense, it did grow as I wrote it. It wasn't supposed to be THAT big. :-)

But if you have time then at least check out the first link to the Thorium reactors. I had no idea about this stuff until yesterday. It turns out that the Chinese government have just launched a program to build them. They may be able to service the entire world's energy needs for the next 1000 years and make much of the current AGW climate debate irrelevant. It won't matter if the climate problems are caused by carbon emissions or not if we can just drop burning fossil fuels because they have become irrelevant.

Also the Gabon natural reactors are fascinating.

Torso sized, natural nuclear reactors that:


  • ran for about a million years

  • are the products of natural processes created without intelligent agency

  • stayed in balance for a million years without going boom

  • bred their own fissiles including plutonium

  • we are able to know how they operated and for how long even though they operated 2 billion years ago!!

    Its the half hour on, two and a half hour off cycle that I mentioned in the screed.


: I'm continually blown away at how people in
: this community can take something as innocuous as "big unkillable
: (almost) scary beast thing", put actual science into it and actually
: make SENSE of it.

I always try to make sense of stuff. Its hard to stop.

: I'm REALLY curious to know what the folks who initially dreamed up the
: Hunters think of your theories/conclusions. (I already tweeted a link to
: your post) :D

I'd be interested too.

: Good show sir, good show!

Thank you :-)
