The Nuclear Fusion Breakthrough In Context
Robert Rapier, Forbes, Senior Contributor

Press Release: January 15, 2023, 03:19pm EST

Last month the National Ignition Facility at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in California announced a significant breakthrough in nuclear fusion research. Since then, a number of people have asked me what this breakthrough really means.

First, let’s discuss some basics of nuclear fusion. Today’s nuclear power plants are based on nuclear fission, which is the splitting of a heavy isotope like uranium-235 into two smaller isotopes. (Isotopes are just different forms of an element).

In simple terms, nuclear fission is like shooting a tiny bullet at the center of the isotope, which causes it to become unstable and split. When it splits, it releases a tremendous amount of energy (mass and energy are related by Einstein’s famous equation E = Mc2). That energy can then be turned into electricity.

However, one of the primary objections to nuclear fission is that the byproducts of fission are highly radioactive, and many of them are long-lived. In other words, they pose a danger to life unless properly handled. These radioactive byproducts are why some are opposed to nuclear power.

Nuclear fusion, which is the source of the power for stars like our sun, is different. With fusion, you are forcing smaller isotopes together to form larger isotopes. Typically this involves combining isotopes of hydrogen — the smallest element — to form helium. This reaction releases even more energy than the fission reaction, but more importantly it doesn’t produce any long-term radioactive byproducts. That’s why nuclear fusion is often called the “holy grail” of energy production.

So, what’s the problem? Those small hydrogen isotopes are highly resistant to fusing. It takes tremendous pressure and high temperatures (as are present in the sun) to force them to fuse. That’s very different from nuclear fission, which takes place relatively easily. Thus, although fusion can be achieved in nuclear weapons, researchers have spent decades trying to create a controlled fusion reaction that could be used for energy production.

Over the years, many “breakthroughs” have been announced. The one that was announced last month was that for the first time, scientists got more energy out of the fusion process than they had to put in. Previous efforts that had achieved fusion required more energy inputs than the fusion reaction produced.

So, this does mark a significant breakthrough. But how close are we to developing commercial fusion reactors?

Here is an analogy I have used to put it in context. There were many milestones on the way to commercial airline travel. The Wright Brothers flew the first successful powered flight in history in December 1903. It would be another 16 years before the first transatlantic flight. But, the first widely successful commercial airliner, the Boeing 707 wouldn’t be introduced until 1958.

The long-running joke has always been that commercial nuclear fusion is 30 years away. In reality, that simply means we still can’t quite see the complete pathway to get there. The recent breakthrough is certainly a milestone on the path to commercial nuclear fusion. But we may still be 30 years away from seeing commercial realization of nuclear fusion.

Greetings in The Mighty Name of Jesus, The Christ!!!

Mercy Grace Forgiveness

Hebrews 4:16 KJV

“Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need."

Brothers and Sisters we can come to The Throne of Jesus Boldly because of His Sacrifice, His Love for us and find a Continual Forgiveness. We can Ask, Seek and Knock in times of Need, in times of Trouble, in times of Despair, in times of Joy, in times of Love…All Times, All Situations, Night or Day it matters not, we Can come to The Throne of Jesus!

We Must come to The Understanding that Jesus is Preparing us for The Kingdom Of Heaven…

John 14:2-3 KJV

"² In my Father's house are many mansions: if [it were] not [so], I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. ³ And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, [there] ye may be also."

Brothers and Sisters we Find Mercy, Grace and Forgiveness when we Walk in those things, even as we have been given those things by The Father, Through Jesus His only begotten Son. This is Non-negotiable that what we Must Do is to Walk in Forgiveness to Obtain Grace and Mercy then, we can come Boldly to The Throne of Jesus to make our request.

Matthew 6:14-15 KJV

"¹⁴ For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: ¹⁵ But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."

This is our Contract Agreement with The Father, with Jesus, with The Holy Spirit that cannot be altered in any fashion. We have No Excuse that will be acceptable, Forgiveness is literally a matter of Life or Death. Forgiveness brings forth Mercy and Grace to us and gives others a chance to change. Everyone of us have gone through this process and there is no other way into Heaven. Jesus Forgave us by His Sacrifice and by doing so, The Father Forgives us, so are we to be!

Matthew 6:7-13 KJV

"⁷ But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen [do]: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. ⁸ Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. ⁹ After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. ¹⁰ Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as [it is] in heaven. ¹¹ Give us this day our daily bread. ¹² And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. ¹³ And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen."

Brothers and Sisters The Kingdom Of Heaven is to be Manifested here on Earth as The Father Is In Heaven, so are we to be in our daily walk. With all the evil that is in the World today, Forgiving is a Task. For we are faced with a Double Edge Sword in that we are Not to Compromise The Word or bring Compromise to The Holy Spirit and yet we Must Forgive those who Walk In Sin.

We cannot accomplish this on our own, but it is Our Choice. The Holy Spirit will bring the Strength, Knowledge, Wisdom to be able to Forgive, but again, We Must Choose to Agree or Disagree with The Holy Spirit who is The Fathers Will in us. To have Forgiveness means to not hold against them what they may deserve and in doing so we Must give Grace giving them Mercy. This three strand, Mercy, Grace, Forgiveness is Bound By The Father, Manifested In Jesus and Carried Out Through The Holy Spirit in Our Lives.

There is, in us, no limit to this, but only God can limit. Why would we say this? God does have a Limit to His Forgiveness, His Grace and His Mercy. We find Ananias and Sapphira had reached a Limit…

Acts 5:1-11 KJV

"¹ But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, ² And kept back [part] of the price, his wife also being privy [to it], and brought a certain part, and laid [it] at the apostles' feet. ³ But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back [part] of the price of the land? ⁴ Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. ⁵ And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things. ⁶ And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried [him] out, and buried [him]. ⁷ And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in. ⁸ And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much. ⁹ Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband [are] at the door, and shall carry thee out. ¹⁰ Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying [her] forth, buried [her] by her husband. ¹¹ And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things."

They were given Mercy and Grace to Repent and They Chose not to but Retained Their Lie, finding No Forgiveness because of that lie and died because of it…there is a Limit!

 We cannot walk around having Mercy showing Grace and Forgiving whom WE CHOOSE but let us all Walk in such to all people, letting Jesus have His Limits Manifested. Again, this does not mean we Compromise, Obedience to The Word and The Holy Spirit are above all things rather we understand or not.

We find in Scripture by doing these three, that Justice will prevail against our enemies…

Romans 12:19-21 KJV

"¹⁹ Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but [rather] give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance [is] mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. ²⁰ Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. ²¹ Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good."

No matter how evil this World becomes, we Must continue to Walk In Mercy, Grace and Forgiveness! No matter what you Must Endure, we Must continue to Walk In Mercy, Grace and Forgiveness!

Above all, the walls that are built against Brother to Brother, Sister to Sister Must come down, as they are built in Unforgiveness obtaining no Mercy or Grace. The Scriptures tells us that The World will know, Will Know, WILL KNOW that we are The Disciples Of Jesus by having Love towards one another, meaning that this Love Must have Mercy, Must have Grace and Must have Forgiveness.

John 13:34-35 KJV

"³⁴ A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. ³⁵ By this shall all [men] know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another."

If we say that we have The Love of God within us, then, Mercy, Grace and Forgiveness Must be Active IN OUR WALK…Everywhere and at All Times! This is what allows us to come to The Throne Of Jesus Boldly with our request, how we Obtain Mercy and Grace through Jesus Forgiveness towards us. For What God The Father gave to us, must also be Walked Out and Return to God The Father through our Actions, through The Blood Of Jesus Our Savior!!!

Brothers and Sisters, as in All Things, we Must Choose to Walk In Mercy, Grace, Forgiveness, we will not be forced to do so, it Must be of Our Own Free Will that we do so.

For many have found Salvation through these actions…

Including You!!!

Amen and Amen!!!

Greetings in The Mighty Name of Jesus, The Christ!!!

Our God

Hebrews 13:8 KJV

“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever."

John 10:30 KJV

“I and [my] Father are one."

 John 8:28 KJV

“Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am [he], and [that] I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things."

It is a New Year, for some it will be the same issues, same problems, but, let the Issues and Problems be Resolved In Jesus, Our Lord, Our Savior, Our God! For us who have Accepted Jesus let there be a Change this Year to Draw Closer to Jesus, His Word and Walk In The Spirit, Led By The Holy Spirit!!!

Brothers and Sisters we do not know what tomorrow holds for us, but we do Know that Jesus sits upon a Throne, having been given All Power, All Authority over Heaven, Earth and Hell and there is Nothing that He Can Not Do!!!

Hebrews 10:12 KJV

“But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;"

1 Peter 3:22 KJV

“Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him."

 Matthew 28:18 KJV

“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth."

Revelation 4:11 KJV

“Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created."

 I Remind you of Whom We Serve, knowing this, that we Must Understand to Whom We Must Obey! The Word tells us that as The Father, Son and Holy Spirit are ONE, so must we be also being ONE with Them, bring us ONE with each other. Jesus said that if a House Is Divided it will fall…

Matthew 12:25 KJV

“And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:"

Let there be No More Diversity among us! Our God is not Divided, what The Father, Jesus and The Holy Spirit Say Agree, they are One, there is No Varity within them! Our God has Order and there is No Chaos in Heaven, so must we be also. It is past time that the Walls that divide us come down, be broken, be crushed…be No More!

The above Scriptures, along with the Whole Bible, should be Spoken, Read and Lived equally the same among All The Brothers and Sisters who have Accepted Jesus as Savior and Lord. There is no difference to what country you are in or what city you are in, we are to be as it is in Heaven…

Matthew 6:10 KJV

“Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as [it is] in heaven."

It is Not My Kingdom, nor is it Your Kingdom, but it is God’s Kingdom. That means that the Order, the Laws, the Actions that are in Heaven should be the same carried out here among us. So, there is Not to be Diversity on How We Are To Live. Whatever we Read in the Word, the same is Echoed in Heaven and should be Echoed within us.

Our God has had The First Say on how to Live and God has The Last Say on how we are to Live, but the First and Last are equal!!!

The same God that told Israel to march around Jericho is the same God who tells you to march through this World, in both bring The Manifestation Of God to those who do not know Him. The same God who allowed Job to go through trials, will also allow you to go through trials to bring Satan to his knees, to bring Glory To God. The same God who gave us His only begotten Son to shine forth His Mercy and Grace towards us, is the same God who beckons us to allow Him to shine through us to a dying World, showing Mercy and Grace.

The Word tells us that The World will know that we Belong To God, because of The Love that is between us, but do you Understand that?

John 13:35 KJV

“By this shall all [men] know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another."

Too many think that the Love here is, “I love you because you Accepted Jesus…”, but that is to your ignorance! It is Not with just three words, but it is Your Whole Being that speaks The Love Of God, which means, we have to Agree with one another.

Does the Word Not Say that there is One Father, One Baptism, One Spirit, One Jesus, One Word that is Equal Among Us?

Ephesians 4:2-6 KJV

"² With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; ³ Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. ⁴ [There is] one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; ⁵ One Lord, one faith, one baptism, ⁶ One God and Father of all, who [is] above all, and through all, and in you all."

 Our God says that the ONLY Diversity there is among us, is the Gifts and Callings, but in those Gifts and Callings they Must Agree, they Must Be One with The Father. So then, how we are to Live Our Lives is always the same. The Gifts and Callings are the only Diverse thing that should be among us. As our Brother Paul said “Are we All…”, No we are not, but there is Diversity in The Same Spirit that Must Agree With The Father.

1 Corinthians 12:4-11 KJV

"⁴ Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. ⁵ And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. ⁶ And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. ⁷ But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. ⁸ For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; ⁹  To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; ¹⁰  To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another [divers] kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: ¹¹ But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will."

1 Corinthians 10:17 KJV

“For we [being] many are one bread, [and] one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread."

1 Corinthians 8:6 KJV

“But to us [there is but] one God, the Father, of whom [are] all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom [are] all things, and we by him."

Our God is One in Three Persons, The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit, all in which have their Own Jobs, Duties, Performance, Task, Power and Authority but ALL AGREE IN ONE ACCORD! We are to be as Our God is, for as they agree in All Things, in All Words, in All Actions then we are to be the same. It is NOT good enough to say, “Well they believe in Jesus that’s all that counts…”, it goes way beyond that. It is in Our Life Styles, Our Words, Our Actions, that what I do here where I live should be the same in the next city, county, state, country, there should be NO Difference!!!

Our God, is God, the Same God Around The World, Who Made The World and Us! There should not be “Well I’m a Baptist and I Believe…”, “Well I’m a Catholic and I Believe …”, “Well I’m a…” these are all Diversities of Men and Satan NOT GOD!!!

2 Corinthians 10:12 KJV

“For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise."

 2 Timothy 4:3-4 KJV

"³ For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; ⁴ And they shall turn away [their] ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables."

There is only One Interpretation of God and it is God’s Interpretation that we should Live By regardless what anyone else says. There is not, In God, Differences Of Interpretations to His Will, but Only One.

It is like a True Teacher, Called by Jesus, there may be Different Depths of a Teaching, but no matter how deep you go, the Beginning and End will always agree as One.  Example, you may teach a child “This is a Cup”, then you say “Use The Cup to get a Drink of water”, then say “You can use The Cup to drink many different Liquids”, then say “You can use The Cup to Eat soup from”, they say “You can use The Cup to Dig In The Earth”, but, it is Always The Same Cup, it did Not Change! If you go around the World and ask anyone, anywhere about a Cup they can tell you the same thing, it did not change!!!

Our God, Wants to be Your God, Having You Do His Things, His Way…NOT YOURS!!!

Amen and Amen!!!

Greetings in The Mighty Name of Jesus, The Christ!!!

 Proclamation To War

 Matthew 1:18-23 KJV

"¹⁸ Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. ¹⁹ Then Joseph her husband, being a just [man], and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily. ²⁰ But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. ²¹ And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. ²² Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, ²³ Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us."

It was and still is a Joyous Time of The Birth Of Jesus, Our Lord and Savior that we celebrate this day! For The Father was and is full of Mercy and Love towards us. We, Brothers and Sisters have been Saved By Grace and not of any works of man or of ourselves!!! Thank You Father for sending Your Son Jesus to take upon Himself Our Punishment that we deserve and for Raising Your Son to Give Us Eternal Life and Grace to Enter Heaven!!! What a Joyous Celebration this is!!!

We, Brothers and Sisters could live a Thousand Life Times and NOT even come close in repaying such a debt!!! Thank You Jesus for Your Sacrifice, Your shedding of Blood that makes Us Clean, Acceptable to be Presented to The Father!!!

Did you know that The Birth Of Jesus, Our Lord and Savior, was a Proclamation To War? It was not only a battle against Satan, but what was to come in the future. To start with the Jewish people were expecting Jesus to come as a Conquering King on their behalf. To fight against their enemies and the enemies of The Father, to set up His Kingdom here on Earth, to establish His Throne, being The Messiah.

There are many Jewish people that do not accept Jesus as The Messiah, because of looking for a Physical Presents and not a Spiritual Presents. When Jesus born the Proclamation To War started.

Matthew 2:3-4 KJV

"³ When Herod the king had heard [these things], he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. ⁴ And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born."

Matthew 2:13 KJV

“And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him."

There were Prophecies of Jesus coming and all who knew, were all Watching and Waiting for His Coming. The following was Watched For and Awaited For, for about 700 Years.

Isaiah 7:14 KJV

“Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel."

Isaiah 9:6-7 KJV

"⁶ For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. ⁷ Of the increase of [his] government and peace [there shall be] no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this."

Jesus Birth brought Division, Worry, Anger from those who Feared His Coming. It starts with Herod a King…

Matthew 2:16 KJV

“Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men."

We find that because of Jesus Birth, because He Is The Son Of God that the War Rages On since that time. We need to Understand that YES it was a Joyous Time of Jesus Birth and today many celebrate His Birth, we need to also Understand what His Birth meant. Jesus said that He had not come to bring Peace but War…

Matthew 10:34 KJV

“Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword."

Jesus Birth, that Yes we should Honor, we should Celebrate, we need to See what His Birth was going to do. That Jesus Birth was the cause for War from the Heavens to Hell, that because of Jesus Birth, Satan would be defeated once and for all!

In this day, this time, too many celebrate for gain and not for the Grace and Mercy that The Father gave to us on the day Jesus was born. We have taken, the World and Christians alike, this day and celebrate to our own selves, making claim that we celebrate Jesus Birth.

It is a good thing that we Celebrate, giving gifts because of Love, Generosity but stop and think for just a minute, when you open your gifts, sing your songs, eat your food, where is Jesus? Is He truly Your Reason for Celebration?

Yes, The Proclamation To War continues, for we have Brother against Brother, Sister against Sister because of The Birth Of Jesus. Because of The Birth of Jesus there is more fighting, more deaths because of this day. See too many of you do not want to look at Reality, but would rather slumber in celebration of fleshly gifts, bring no Honor To Jesus!

The Celebration of Jesus Birth and His Death should be Every Day of Your Life, not just one time a year or when it is convenient to do so. There are those who only Celebrate Jesus on Christmas and Easter thinking they have done a good deed, that they have Honored Jesus by doing so.

Isaiah 29:13 KJV

“Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near [me] with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:"

Let us Celebrate The Birth Of Jesus, Our Lord and Savior with a Pure Heart towards Him and not to ourselves or other people. The Father gave US Jesus because He Loves Us, should we not Return Our Love to Him?

Think on this day that we have chosen to Celebrate Jesus Birth, what does it really mean to you, Meditate on What Jesus Birth really means, the Depth and Width.

It Was and Is The Proclamation To War, the Beginning to an End, a Crack in Time that will never be forgotten. Jesus Birth Is The Beginning To Our Salvation, without it, Salvation would not be possible, we would all perish in our sins!

Psalm 2:11 KJV

“Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling."

Psalm 9:2 KJV

“I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High."

Psalm 13:5 KJV

“But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation."

This Proclamation To War endures to this day,

it is the Battle From Within,

the Battle of the Flesh against The Spirit.

Amen and Amen!!!
