Scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory are hard at work on revolutionary research that could prove to be one of the most significant scientific discovery’s of all time. The plan is to ignite a thermonuclear reaction that would burn as hot as the sun. It would not only be the first man made star, but would also prove that fusion using lasers is possible. This would pave the way for future advancements in fusion technology that could eventually meet the entire worlds energy needs. Forget the industrial revolution, imagine a world with limitless cheap electricity. One immediately thinks of electric trains and cars, cheap electrolysis would ensure plentiful drinking water for people and plants, but the really amazing things would come from innovations we can hardly dream of with our current fossil fuel mentality.

The amazing thing is that the location of what could prove to be one of the worlds most significant scientific discovery’s of all time still offers tours on Tuesdays. For every other day of the week there is a visitors center outside the laboratory’s grounds.
