Reply to comment by JamesTWood in Laser-driven fusion’s internal energies not matching up with predictions: There's a change in behavior when the plasma starts burning, and nobody knows why by DoremusJessup

Come back to me when your fourth dimension wants to interact, and doesn't have to be folded into the size of a walnut

Einstein's handling of a fourth dimension is one thing. He wrapped time and space together, and I'm fine with his model.

A fourth spatial dimension, as string theory and its ilk propose?? I'm not into it

Sure, but evidence does. There's no evidence, therefore making bold predictions on how it relates to fusion is just insane.

I do hope a theoretical breakthrough resolves our issues with fusion. I do not think that we're at the liberty to act like we know what that breakthrough is though
