Thanks Lex for interviewing a scientific thought leader like Dennis Whyte. I was very disappointed with your last interview of Omar Suleiman and allowing him to whitewash the wrongs of his religion. Basically you gave him a free ride to justify the extremist stances of his cult. People like Omar Suleiman are much more dangerous than Kanye West or Andrew Tate. Great to see you back to what u do best - interviewing scholars. Thanks

his ability to avoid actual status of the fusion research and counter the misconceptions of the population at large on what's happening... is a lot more amazing. I love science but I hate the corporate capture of science in every field of work... Be very suspicious of these military and us ministry of energy budget funding this research -- the real experts know the fusion reactions are practically impossible for civilian applications. I didn't hear anything about this in a 3 hour interview although I skipped most of it. 3 hours and never mention that there's been no sign this will ever be doable although there's been progress. After a 3 hour podcast it's amazing he's not hinting of any of what I mention in 12 seconds. Very dishonest. And suspicious. Again, amazing I have to explain the science of fusion, after this scientist was interviewed 3 hours and not address it: Fusion works in a star because it's so huge but it's very cold compare to what we need to make it work in a reactor - because actually in a star fusion occurs very rarely - it's just very very huge. How much smaller a nuclear reactor is than a star? How much lower 1atm is than the pressures in the star's mantle? And then if Lex was actual good science reporter, he'd ask to explain why there's so much effort to research this. There's great progress in the engineering challenge and the chance of accidental discoveries. Very disappointing, as usual, for science news on the internet.

In addition to being one of the smartest people on the planet Dennis Whyte can also explain things in layman's terms so an average person can follow along and sort of understand. He is a national treasure among educators and his peer group. Thank you so much for sharing.

Yes agree! Dennis made a great contribution to de-mystifying fusion and give it a human face. Learned a few things. Nevertheless, for anyone wanting an instant nuclear solution with practically no waste (the miniscule amount also with a mere 500 year halftime) we MUST now switch to thorium LFTR fission reactors. They are super safe and We have enough thorium on the surface to power earth for 3000 years. And molten salt is proven tech. We had already an operational reactor in the 60’s in oakridge tennessee. Fusion will have its place in the far future. Now it is time to embrace reality and divert at least half of the fusion money to LFTRs . Its up to politicians and NGO’s to get real if green is what they mean.

Rose stood frozen, staring up at the black hole as it slowly grew larger in the sky. She had never seen anything like it before. It was both beautiful and terrifying, a stark reminder of how small and insignificant they were in the vast universe. As the black hole drew closer, Rose could feel the intense gravity pulling at her body. She stumbled and fell, the ground shaking beneath her. She looked around in horror as buildings crumbled and people ran for their lives. Desperately, Rose tried to run, but she was no match for the relentless pull of the black hole. The air was being sucked from her lungs, and the sound of it was deafening. She closed her eyes and waited for the inevitable end. Suddenly, a bright light enveloped her, and she felt herself being pulled upwards. She opened her eyes and saw that she was surrounded by a shimmering, otherworldly light. It was like nothing she had ever seen before. She looked down and saw that the Earth was being torn apart, buildings and people sucked into the black hole's event horizon. She felt a pang of sadness and fear, knowing that everything she had ever known was gone. But as she continued to rise, the fear and sadness were replaced with wonder and amazement. She saw the stars up close, their light distorted by the intense gravity of the black hole. She saw comets and asteroids streaking past her, and planets being thrown out of their orbits. For Rose, the black hole was a reminder of the power and vastness of the universe. She felt small and insignificant, but also awed and humbled. And as she continued to rise, she knew that she was witnessing something truly extraordinary, even if it meant the end of her world.

the horse and fusion reaction, wonderfull anology , we should be more concious… very cool 😎. Tnx for this extreme long conversation, I notice I keep longer on any device at the fitness hall 😊

Wow what an amazing guest, it taken me over a week to listen to, and now I need to start it all over again. Great podcast Lex

After watching this my head hurt but in a very good way. Thanks for a great interview with such an easy to understand speaker.

Thank you for your podcasts, Lex. I look forward to listening to your fascinating conversations with your guests because you are an excellent listener. I hope you have a great day! Diane Dean

This was an amazing interview, such an incredible mind. Thanks Lex.

I really enjoy the conversations you share, great work. I would like to see you get your mind around physics/mushrooms/DMT/LSD

Master Class. Thank you both. Dennis, you are a wonderful teacher and loved~!

Fusion is the end of energy scarcity that’s why there is a mad push for cashing out of the old world ✌️💚

Unless I get there first! Could you imagine if the first player to untap unlimited energy creates a scarcity model. What if DeBeers diversifies its portfolio and gets into the fusion game and just starts crushing it?

I sure hope so, but I think it's far more likely that the people at the wef and world governments have far far more nefarious plans.

Thank you! A thorough grounding in the physics and engineering progress in fusion research. This average citizen appreciates it.

Back in High school in the 50s I thought I wanted to work in Nuclear Science. Your story sounds like it would have been a very good choice. I instead learned Electronics and later became a Radar designer and advanced technology (IR, EO, technical sensor analysis) leader in several Aerospace Companies. I kept hearing that we’re only 10 years away from Nuclear Power. Finally it’s sort of true! Thank you for your great presentation and obvious leadership in pushing technical advancement. In the last few years I find very reasonable evidence that 1. we lost several advanced civilizations of which the most recent was about 12,000 years ago and 2. technology seen World Wide reveals that we lost major capabilities to quarry, shape and erect Megastructures such as the great Pyramids. With your incredible connections, have you run across any clues to these Megalithic capabilities? Even the Egyptians claim they are a benefactor of a previous now lost technological civilization. Recent clearing of the Amazon and LASAR mapping reveal evidence of extensive past technological civilizations. Seems to me it’s time for the truth to come out.

I really enjoyed this episode. Dennis Whyte did a fantastic job of explaining things that I was curious about, and Lex asked some great questions to guide me to think deeper

Really enjoyed this one Lex, keep the podcasts coming. Also would appreciate if you continue with the book summary videos.

I listened to the podcast of this episode before coming here on KZread, and when he mentioned about all the careers he had I went "Wait! How many careers did he have?!? How old is this guy?", because the way he talks he comes across as full of that enthusiasm so often observed only in relatively young people, he sounded like he was in his late 20s, his 30s. I looked him up and, holy cow (cit.), he was born in 1964! Amazing, the fact Prof. Whyte, at 59 and after having seen so much, is still so invested in, so full of enthusiasm about, what he does, both in terms of research but also of teaching, is very very refreshing. It must be great to have him as a teacher and a mentor in college. It's this kind of persons who propel humankind forward.

That truly was a great watch! My gratitude to everyone involved!

Wonderful pod, and maybe one of my favourites of yours so far.

This one was exceptionally great! Thank you

This weed is hitting different... I've been on track or one step ahead of this discussion the whole time. Very interesting, and loved it!

This is a type of podcast that makes you feel smarter after listening.

OMG I forgot about Connections! I had the boxset as a kid and I LOVED it!!

Amazing to hear someon talk about something so complex in such a simple way and as if this is the most natural thing in the world. Brilliant listen

3 hours, no way did I think that I would stay the course but I did. What an interesting man is Dennis Whyte and how interesting and instructive his explanation of the science behind not just nuclear fusion but the periphery science around it that helps make it possible. He must be an inspiration to his students and those who work with him as he certainly was to this 69 year old.

What a great podcast on fusion 101. Thank you for allowing us to peak in this world. Merci Lex!

Wow, I was listening to Dennis and I could have sworn he was a super young, super genius. This was super inspiring to listen to this conversation and it was challenging to track in one part because it was so eloquent and high-level. The good stuff!

Excellent, so excited of what is to come, built upon what has gone before...

1:36:38 the word tokamak actually means "TOroidal'naya KAmera s MAgnitnymi Katushkami" (toroidal chamber with axial magnetic field).

Standing ovation. This was amazing. Thank you.
