China to test its 'artificial sun'

[Daniels]

BEIJING, July 24 (UPI) -- The first plasma discharge from China's experimental advanced superconducting research center -- the so-called "artificial sun" -- is set to occur next month.
The discharge, expected about Aug. 15, will be conducted at Science Island in Hefei, in east China's Anhui Province, the Peoples Daily reported Monday.
Scientists told the newspaper a successful test will mean the world's first nuclear fusion device of its kind will be ready to go into actual operation, the newspaper said.

These sorts of experiments are always really interesting. I remember reading about the Z machine which generates extremely high temperatures, incredibly higher than the Sun. I don't have anything against these experiments as long as our atmosphere doesn't burn up and drift away into space.

Wasn’t something like this the plot of a James Bond movie?

I thought it was Spiderman 2.

My friend's father works at Princeton Plasma Lab where they are running fusion tests, that exceed the temperature of the sun.

I'd say cool, but at thoes temps, it's any thing but cool

I wouldn't worry about it. I don't think God is going to allow us to burn off the whole atmosphere and annihilate ourselves like that. Although I wonder if such a thing as this might have something to do with Revelation 16:8,9.
