SCI/TECH: Russian nuclear engineers will light artificial sun on New Year's Eve

Russian engineers from the Federal nuclear center in Saratov will attempt to light an artificial sun on the Earth.

A powerful explosion has been created by scientists on one of the famous research grounds. Russian engineers managed to create a special magnetic field which is 20 million times more powerful than that of the Earth's. This has been reported by a director of All-Russian scientific research center at the research institute of experimental physics Victor Selemir, reports ITAR-TASS.

no but hey im a bit wasted too.

They didn't exactly make an artificial sun. If you read the article, you'll see that they made a magnetic field powerfull enough to control the fusion reactions that also happen in the sun.

...and if you read Pravda frequently, youll figure out that they are the Russian equivalent of the National Enquirer
