#2Nice article, although I think this must be a typo: "Despite the fact that a supernova has 1045 times as much energy as our tin blasts, the same math describes the evolution of both types of explosions."
Maybe they meant 10^45 times as much energy?

Was probably written in one system, formatted with the 45 as superscript, then copied into a CMS that converted the superscript back to regular script. Lots of popsci type publications end up having this happen.

Yeah. It's fixed now.

Thank you! It was an excellent read. Had me from start to end.

#7Can we repurpose the ASML machine as fusion drive? Asking for a friend.
Especially when lithography in near future will move from EUV to X-ray, the difference between NIF and ASML would become even smaller (or may be ASML would even use Sandia Z alike).

This is yet another reason I'm promoting the ^45 "magnitude notation"[0].

1045 is a pretty weird multiple. And probably moves us up quite a ways on the Kardashev Scale.
