Physicists Say $15 Billion Nuclear Fusion Machine Cannot Work

Original: This $15 Billion Nuclear Fusion Machine Can’t Work, Physicists Say. Via @sabinehossenfelder for @sciencewtg #Science #Ph

Physicists, including science commentator Sabine Hossenfelder, are arguing that a roughly $15 billion nuclear fusion machine faces fundamental problems that could prevent it from ever working as intended. The claim, circulated via the science outlet Sciencewtg, is drawing attention to doubts over whether such major fusion projects can deliver on their promises. Critics are questioning the enormous public investment in fusion research given these technical concerns.

Why now: Ongoing debate over whether billion-dollar fusion projects like ITER can realistically achieve their goals
