Last month, China's Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) 
achieved a sustained temperature of over 100 million degrees C for 1066 
seconds. To put things into perspective, the core of the sun is about 15 
million degrees C. This means that for almost 18 minutes a magnetically 
confined manmade plasma was burning 6 times hotter than the sun. To 
think that we belong to a species that in our finest moments is able to 
achieve cosmic significance even if it is but for few seconds. Vive 
l’Humanité!
