Man, they got the right guy to announce this. Explained it very clearly. He made jokes. And most importantly he didn't come off as a highly trained spokesperson. Just as a guy who works in the field and is excited to talk about it.
Everyone would love science if this guy explained it all to us
This man should do more press conferences, he's kinda cool.
If they legitimately induced fusion with a positive energy gain using that setup, I’m fairly certain they just hit a significant milestone in our history.
I wish the mainstream media would give this more attention than a 1 and a half minute clip on YouTube. This is truly a momentous achievement, and one that should be acknowledged, and celebrated across the world.
What you see on this man’s face and hear in his voice is the pride and joy of a man who’s life’s work has just gotten a bit closer to coming to fruition.
Until now, explaining the fusion achievement in clear, detailed, easy to understand terms in under 2 minutes was apparently deemed impossible by network news executives. Another breakthrough! 👏
You can tell he’s beaming with pride while talking about this, and he should be proud. This is a turning point for civilization, and I can’t believe I lived to see it.
I love his level of calmness. There's no need to "sell" or hype up anything. It's like when you impressively succeed and you don't have to worry about going over minor issues. You did it. Edit: hey ya'll, just so ya'll know I ain't reading these comments
Dr. Marvin Adams's delivery was excellent. What a historic moment in fusion research. Once something is realized as possible, things tend to quickly take off.
This guy explains in 2 minutes what it normally takes a youtuber 15 minutes of bloated elaboration to say. A description of the experiment, the scale of the experiment and energy involved, and most importantly the energy in and energy out. That's all I need. Edit: I don't care that the lasers required 320mj to function. The experiment is for ignition, not a fusion-energy device. Educate yourself.
I genuinely did not believe we could do this in my lifetime. I hope to live long enough to see where this leads!
He sounds so proud, that's amazing what they managed to do! Congratulations to the team and everyone else who contributed to this!
I read about nuclear fusion in 7th grade & I'm so happy to be alive to witness this achievement. Congratulations to all the scientists involved throughout the decades for this.
This has the potential to be one of the biggest game changers in all of human history, I'm glad I got to be here for it.
Congratulations to the team. Wow. This is so f*cking exciting. This was always something of a holy grail and I can’t believe this has happened in my lifetime. They deserve all the accolades.
Well done Americans hopefully this is going to bring a brighter future for us all
Many casual observers may not understand the scale of what he just said, and what it will bring, but that man certainly did. He spoke with such a smile on his face as he knew what he was saying was amazing, if the words themselves didn't convey it.
This is legitimately the most insane thing I've heard in some time. Producing energy beyond what was put in is already crazy enough but for it to happen that fast is beyond comprehension
“So this is pretty cool.” “We’re hiring!” A succinct summary of fusion energy followed by a rising call to arms! Words to stand the test of time, surely
