I believe a much more useful article might delve into the background for why the EXACT, precise length of a #second MUST be determined in order to perform tasks within different #inertial time "zones" other than other than to determine a fairly exact distance between at one particular fraction of a second.
I always assumed leap seconds were an adjustment added due to astronomical measurements and calculations needing to be synced with observable natural phenomena above
Pulsed compression #fusion:
This is well worth watching, quite a bit more exciting than the recent successful experiment with #inertial confinement fusion net energy gain at the National Ignition Facility #nif
#helion is regularly producing fusion reactions now using temps of 100 million degrees. It's on a path to produce grid power directly from those fusion reactions without employing any heat exchangers or steam turbines.
Its technology can also produce the needed Helium-3 fusion fuel, making it a sustainable industry: It does this by producing Tritium, a valuable isotope which decays to Helium-3 within 12 years.
Helion has not yet reached net energy gain. But unlike other experimental fusion projects, it will immediately be able to start supplying electricity to the grid.
Helion's electricity-producing reactor is scheduled to be online by 2024.
