To Fuse or Not to Fuse... That is the question!

Just noticed, my moniker was mentioned. Referring back to my first post: while subatomic particles(pick one) have been detected, their paths traced, their mass determined and even some created, "no one has ever been able to actually observe(as in seen, viewed or watched) the ways electrons function." That’s WHY the study of such is called, ’Particle/Quantum/Atomic/etc Theory’. Any scientist should recognize the foolishness, of making(attempted) categorical statements based on theories(ie: Band Gap Theory/QED/Electrical/etc).   I've never met a scientist, that I've found dissuading others from experimenting/learning for themselves.

Tried smoking banana peels, in the 60's(per Donovan's recommendation).   Doesn't work.   Had to experiment, though!

That’s actually not really true. We know exactly how free electrons move in a conductor and what their function is. It’s not really quantum mechanical. It’s plain old everyday physics. Free electrons are charge carriers and they move back and forth along with the current 🔛 but at a snail’s pace. 🐌 We even know exactly their velocity. It’s about a meter an hour. It’s not rocket science. 🚀 If you want to talk about something quantum mechanical you need look 👀 no further than the CD laser. It all comes back to the single and double slit experiments.

Some should stick with giving nutrition advice.

Good comeback! 🙄
