Can almost hear what they're saying. I wonder if it would be possible to lip read or if it would be too unreliable.

By thunder... My new favourite exclamation

Ah right. So, an alternative to dark energy and dark mass?

So I wonder, even if it's only appearing very briefly it's still going to exert some small gravitational effect. And who is to say the density of quantum foam is perfectly evenly distributed through the universe, within, through and between galaxies? Could this be an alternative explanation to dark matter?

I've seen some fake fireplaces that use steam and lights to look like fire, you could use steam from waste heat from the fusion reactor?

Plasma for fusion is at insane temperature and pressure to make fusion possible, to overcome the repulsive force that keeps protons apart by sheer velocity of the colliding nuclei. So you wouldn't have that kind of plasma in a fireplace generally. But you can get room temperature plasma today without fusion, look up plasma balls... That could make a cool (but not fire-like) fireplace, if it could be engineered into another form factor

It certainly feels like that at times. The key being the non verbal part, it's the part that feels things i can't explain, like I have to poke and probe some part of my brain by imagining, to try and see how it reacts to certain thoughts and observe the emotions, then try to put it into words to explain it to the conscious part of my mind. Like, the subconscious is not unconscious, it's perfectly conscious just not verbal.

I expect that's due to the 30% cut taken on subscriptions purchased through the app store
