You obviously don't "get" Kraftwerk. I prefer this over any "rock" concert anytime. Tastes differ.

shmokes:
I may or may not get Kraftwerk, but honestly, I think we can both agree that a Kraftwerk performance is not a rock concert any more than the NY Philharmonic Orchestra puts on a rock concert.

Why not? You don't count the fusion in a hydrogen bomb as fusion?

BTW I also loved the hype over cold fusion a few decades ago. Would be cool if that really worked, but then if pigs could fly ...

The reaction in a nuclear bomb or power plant is fission...not fusion...to make sure I wasn't wrong

Fission:  A nuclear reaction in which an atomic nucleus splits into fragments, usually two fragments of comparable mass.

vs.

Fusion:  The process whereby the nuclei of lighter elements, especially the isotopes of hydrogen (deuterium and tritium ) combine to form the nucleus of a heavier element accompanied by the release of substantial amounts of energy.

Fusion is how the sun generates heat and light.

Agreed. Did you ever see the part where they let the robots do the actual performance ? :D

The picture is of the explosion of a hydrogen bomb. That's fusion. That's why a hydrogen bomb is som much more powerful than a fission bomb.
