'I'm not an expert on recent, the recent advances in nuclear fusion. There are almost no implications for creating a pure fusion bomb,' he says. 'Right now, it's still at the state where you need to put more energy in than you're getting out net', adds Knight.

Welcome to the March 2023 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). We take questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable number — based primarily on whether I have anything interesting to say about them, not whether the questions themselves are good — and sometimes group them together if they are about a similar topic. Enjoy!
