China's "artificial sun" set a new world record after superheating a loop of plasma to temperatures five times hotter than the sun for more than 17 mins

My guy, this is a rocket launch, and this video surface since last september. While it's true their reactor broke records this is just stupid missinfo.

Quite good news for clean energy tho.
Fact Check: Did China Launch 'Artificial Sun' Into Space?
The viral video purportedly shows a man-made object "5 times hotter than the sun" shooting up into the sky, with a crowd watching in awe.

Yes the first video was like a typical rocket launch that's why I post the second video which looked and sounded very realistic.
These days fakes a hard to tell.
Here is the article about the real thing. Not as spectacular but good news, perhaps.
China’s ‘artificial sun’ is five times hotter than the real thing
Researchers hope nuclear fusion device could provide almost limitless clean energy

Well them if it’s launched China why is the crowed counting down in English?
Why does this artificial “sun” shown in the video sound and follow a typical ballistic rocket launch.
I don’t know anything about chinas fusion research but this video doesn’t either

That's the point, it was never launched, these videos of rocket launches are not artifical suns. People are so desperate to paint it as a bad thing or create a panic it seems.

Cool, nice to know the Chinese are trying to solve the Fusion energy issue.
(BTW guys this has no application to weapons, we could do thermonuclear fusion since the 50s)
Getting Q ≥ 1 would be a massive achievement, hopefully we should get a Q of 10 from ITER in a few years. https://www.iter.org/factsfigures
(Q refers to net energy gain, e.g. Q=0.5 means for every 1MW of energy you put in, you get 0.5MW of useful energy out, so anything ≥1 means we're in business)
