....The main topic of the second UN Conference
on Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy, held in
1958 in Geneva, was nuclear fusion.
Imbued
with a sense of purpose and hope for the
common good, in an atmosphere of
innovation and exchange, scientists from
different political backgrounds freely
discussed their recently declassified results
and outlined their expectations for the future.
With Sigvard Eklund, the future Director
General of the IAEA, serving as Secretary
General of the conference, about 5000
delegates, observers and guests discussed
over 2150 papers, 105 covering fusion topics.
In addition, a number of exhibits highlighted
the possibilities of harnessing fusion power.
However, it was recognized that technical
issues related to the extremely high
temperatures involved in fusion and to the
neutron and gamma flux were so complex that
the prediction by the American physicist
Edward Teller that the exploitation of fusion
energy would be possible before the end of
the 20th century was not likely to come true.....

OK, you know it is the 21st Century right? Maybe it's time to give up the Flat Earth theories.
