Comment on China’s ‘artificial sun’ breaks nuclear fusion limit thought to be impossible

Oh I couldn’t get any hard data on reading age for the UK. Search engines are trash now.
I bet it’s out there, but I don’t have the time to search to settle a Lemmy debate.

18% or 21% sounds like a lot of people.
