Supernnova simulation experiment.

(Music is Wandering Star, Portishead.)

Experiment to simulate conditions in an exploding star slowed down millions of times. The world's most powerful laser (covering the area of an American football field) is focused onto a sample of calcium, sulfur, carbon and iron the size of a pinhead. These materials are thought to be the same as a star's nucleus. At the instant of ignition the laser runs at a power output (wattage) twenty times larger than the electrical consumption of the USA.

Shock wave tears the atoms apart, and the superheated gas plasma explodes outwards coalescing into fractal tendrils reminiscent of an astronomical photo of a nebula.

This video doesn't show it all! The centre needs to be exposed!

this is the accual image of a supernova replicated in a lab. you can see the shock wave bounce back after hitting the walls of the vessel. It was created using focused concentric lasers on a tiny amount of hydrogen. if you want to see a device that makes practical power using fusion look up lawrenceville plasma physics FF1 reactor. its only the first device and it can already produce more power than what is needed to fire it off. the power of the stars safely harnessed here on earth

@jodaaa123 Its not a fake i seen it on a programe called How The Universe Works. The secret to the simulation is a molecule trillions times smaller than an atom called The Neutrino and incase you didnt notice they are everywhere EVEN HITTING YOU IN THE BALLS YOU TURD.

nice sound..

FAKE!!
